M&A Transaction Support

Due diligence. Deal support. India expertise.

Overview

What you get

For US, UK, and European acquirers targeting Indian businesses, we provide comprehensive financial, tax, and legal due diligence, deal structuring advisory, valuation support, regulatory approvals, and post-merger integration — ensuring you acquire with confidence and extract maximum value.

Cross-border M&A involving India targets presents unique challenges — from complex tax structures and regulatory approvals to cultural and operational integration. DMCGlobal's transaction advisory team provides due diligence, structuring, and integration support, working in sync with our Valuation & Financial Modelling experts.

We work alongside your global M&A advisors and legal counsel to provide India-specific financial, tax, and regulatory due diligence. Our reports focus on the metrics and red flags that matter most to US, UK, and European acquirers. We cross-reference all tax exposures with our India Tax & GST team.

Post-acquisition, we provide integration support — including Day 1 readiness, finance function integration, ERP consolidation, and compliance calendar setup for your new India entity, coordinating with our India Regulatory Compliance experts.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main areas covered in your M&A Financial Due Diligence?

We perform intensive Quality of Earnings (QofE) audits, historical working capital analysis, net debt reviews, normalized EBITDA calculations, and identify unrecognized liability exposure.

How do you address tax and GST contingencies in Indian targets?

Our specialized tax due diligence reviews historical income tax, transfer pricing, and GST filings to quantify active litigation or audit exposures. We then draft custom indemnity clauses for the Share Purchase Agreement (SPA).

What is Slump Sale structuring and how does it differ from a Share Sale?

A slump sale involves transferring a business undertaking as a going concern for a lump sum consideration, which is taxed differently than a share purchase and can optimize the buyer's post-deal depreciation benefits.
