Transaction Services
Working in a market with an increasingly competitive globalized economy, where the pursuit of positive results is crucial, one of the growth options for companies and investment funds is to acquire new companies or lines of business. The valuation of the assets and liabilities that will be acquired, as well as the price and the bottom line of the company to be bought or sold are necessary information to be successful in any negotiation.
IRKO Hirashima offers its customers Due Diligence models that fit all company sizes and business activities.
Due diligence
Due diligence is a set of accounting, financial, tax, labor and social security analyses based on historical data, designed to provide investors with the information necessary for decision making.
Buying and selling companies is not a simple task! You should always seek help from specialized professionals.
After the transaction
After the transactions, the company’s purchase or sale price should generally be revaluated, considering the business performance after the reference date on which the Due Diligence was performed.
We also assist companies — both buyers and sellers — in calculating price adjustments.
