Buy-side, sell-side and strategic transaction advice for logistics, maritime, mobility and transport businesses valued from USD 5m upwards.
The financing decision
Choose the structure around the operating reality
Value is driven by contract quality, network density, asset ownership, customer retention and the buyer's ability to improve utilisation or remove duplicated cost.
We begin with the commercial objective, the amount and timing of capital, the evidence available and the authority to run the transaction. The resulting route can then be tested against realistic investor, lender or buyer criteria.
Typical uses of capital
