Selling a Distressed Business

Yes. A well-run accelerated process can preserve going-concern value, protect jobs and deliver a better outcome for owners and creditors than a disorderly failure, but it must move quickly and manage lenders and creditors carefully.

A compressed sale process, run in weeks rather than months, that markets the business to a focused set of credible buyers while managing the stakeholders and any insolvency timeline in parallel.

Strategic acquirers seeking assets or capability, special-situations and turnaround investors, private-equity and credit funds, and family offices. Matchpoint runs targeted outreach to the buyers most likely to move at speed and complete.

Not necessarily. Where a going-concern sale can be delivered before value erodes, owners and creditors often recover materially more than in a forced liquidation. Timing and process discipline are decisive.

Yes. We lead the financial and sale execution and coordinate closely with your lenders, creditors and insolvency counsel, whose statutory and legal roles run alongside the transaction.

M&A advisers cover the full transaction: strategy and target screening, valuation, running the sell-side or buy-side process, due-diligence coordination, deal structuring and negotiation, and financing the acquisition. Post-merger-integration (PMI) consultants take over after close — 100-day integration planning, synergy capture and tracking, operating-model and systems integration, and talent retention. Matchpoint provides both ends: origination-to-close M&A advisory and the PMI planning that protects the value you paid for.

M&A advisory is senior-led guidance and execution across a merger, acquisition or divestment — from strategy, valuation and target or buyer identification through diligence, structuring, negotiation and completion. Matchpoint runs full sell-side and buy-side mandates, confidentially and partner-led from origination to close.

Yes — Matchpoint is UAE-licensed with partners in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, advising GCC business owners, corporates and investors on sell-side, buy-side and merger mandates, with cross-border reach into KSA, India, the UK and the US.

Matchpoint runs full sell-side mandates: we value the business, build the information memorandum, identify and approach buyers, manage diligence and negotiate to close — confidentially and senior-led throughout.

An MBO is led by existing management, an MBI by an incoming external team, and an LBO uses significant debt to fund the acquisition. We structure all three and arrange the acquisition finance.

We bridge a target's stand-alone enterprise value to the consideration paid, isolating hard, soft and financial synergies net of costs — so clients see exactly where value is created.

Matchpoint works primarily on a success fee, with a modest retainer to cover execution. Fees are agreed in writing up front and scaled to the size and complexity of the transaction — with no hidden costs.

Most sell-side and buy-side M&A processes run 4–9 months from mandate to completion, depending on diligence, regulatory approvals and negotiation.

A short, confidential scoping call and NDA; we structure the requirement and prepare materials, then run a competitive process across our 5,000+ investor and lender relationships, and negotiate to close — with a partner leading at every step.
