Business Advisory Services in the UAE
Owners who are in a dilemma about what to do; deal and legal advice.
You may be purchasing a company, selling a company, raising funds, or attempting to turn around a business that is floundering. These are all significant wagers and can have life-changing impact, and they are not wagers that can be recovered. Accountants, deal specialists and lawyers collaborate with you at Alberts. Then you can choose the numbers you’ve been checked on and the terms you can comprehend.

Advice That Fits the Decision in Front of You
Advisory isn’t one standard product. A purchaser of a trading business will require a different team to a founder intending to sell a family business, and an owner when cash is running low, will require something else again.
We have developed two streams of work. In Deal Advisory, transactions refer to the financial aspects of deals, whereas turnarounds and fundraisings are financial transactions involving raising capital. Legal Advisory involves structure, contract, disputes and brand protection. Many clients require both, and it is when you have them in one place that any due diligence that is performed goes directly to the party doing the writing of your agreement. For those who are more concerned about controls and compliance, take a look at our Risk Consulting team.
Buying a Business
We help you calculate the company's value and what you're buying into before you agree to buy it. That is not just unearthing the liabilities, but also those customers who make up a disproportionate share of the revenue.
Selling a Business
The better the story, the cleaner the records, the more the buyers will pay. We organize your finances, handle the fine details and showcase your company in the most favorable light, but still in a truthful manner.
Fixing a business
Squeeze on margins, margin for error is becoming an issue, and a lender is beginning to ask questions? We identify the cause, develop a recovery plan and assist you with the recovery.
Funding a Business
We figure out what the capital requirement is and the form of the capital. We then put together the model, the information pack and the materials for the lender and/or investor.
Mergers and Acquisitions
We can help you on both the buy and sell side of the table, including locating the targets, negotiating, closing and financial analysis and recommendations on structuring the transaction.
Business Valuations
You receive a value with reasoning based on the financial performance, assets, liabilities, market position and similar deals. It's well-documented and therefore useful for negotiating.
Financial Due Diligence
We review accounts of the target, cash conversion and debt and quality of earnings. This leaves a flat reporting of what numbers support and don't support.
Legal Structuring
The appropriate legal structure, split and holding position of what you intend to do, whether you are an entrepreneur, adding a partner or restructuring a group.
Legal Documentation, Policies and Procedures
Simple, straightforward shareholder agreements, contracts and internal policies, tailored to the way your company actually operates.
Litigation and Dispute Resolution
We support you in court proceedings, negotiation, mediation or arbitration. The objective is to resolve the issue in a manner that costs you the least.
Trademark Registration
Register your name, logo or symbol to ensure competitors do not ride on your back.
Legal Counseling
Someone to consult on any matter legal, whether it be a contract clause or an employment question, without having to make a full engagement first.
Legal Due Diligence
We inspect contracts, licences, ownership records and any outstanding claims, and you are never taken aback by any legal issues in a transaction when you sign.
Scoping Call
You tell us what you want us to do and we agree what we'll do and what we won't.
Fact-Finding
We gather documents, discuss with management and check the numbers.
Findings and Recommendations
You receive a written sighting. If the deal or plan doesn't make sense, we'll let you know straight away.
Support to Completion
We are here with you throughout the negotiations, paper and closing process.

Financial/legal findings will be together in one team. If there's something looking bad in one place, then we compare it to the other place.

FAQ'S
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are clear and detailed answers to some of the most frequently asked questions you may have.
What are the times to obtain a business valuation?
In the run up to a sale, a purchase, a fundraising or a partner buy out. It also helps when shareholders have a dissent about the value of their shares.
What is the time frame of financial due diligence?
This is dependent on the scope of the target and document arrival rate. After the scope is agreed, we'll provide you with a realistic timeframe.
What do you say to me if I just want to sell some of my business?
Yes. For a partial sale, there must be its own structure and valuation methodology. This is designed to ensure that the stake you leave is kept safe.
What are the steps involved in fixing a business?
We need to identify the reasons for the decline in performance - pricing, costs, the cash cycle or debt. Then, we create a gradual recovery plan that includes measurable goals.
What legal structure do I need to set up a company in?
This is a worthwhile thing to do first. If your structure is not good, it will restrict your financing options, will make it difficult if you want to sell it later; and may cause tax issues that will cost a lot if you want to undo them.
