Are you making the best decision for your company’s future?
Many acquisitions fail to live up to expectations. The reasons range from poor deal structure, poor strategic fit, failure to identify problems with the quality of earnings, overly optimistic estimates of synergies, to lack of an integration plan.
Evaluating a company in another country compounds these risks. You are dealing with a different language and cultural barriers; different business ethics, legal systems, filing regulations, and accounting principles; transfer pricing that affects taxation – and often government involvement.
But international deals often provide the best growth opportunities. They can offer improved returns from economies of scale, new target markets for existing products/services, access to commodity materials, and a hedge against seasonality.
Even savvy managements and private equity investors cannot know everything they should to make a deal successful, so they need an experienced international advisor. Please feel free to contact our office with any questions regarding advisory services.

Our services include the following:
- We are able to act as a liquidators for the insolvency and liquidation of companies.
- Insolvency refers to the situation where a businessperson or legal entity cannot repay its debts. Liquidation is the process of converting all non-cash assets of the insolvent party into cash as soon as possible, for the satisfaction of creditors’ claims in the insolvency proceedings.
- Any debtor who is not able to meet one or more valid and mature obligations to pay an aggregate amount in excess of Five Million Riels (Riels 5,000,000) shall be a ground for the opening of insolvency proceedings with respect to the debtor.
- A company in distress due to insufficient cash resources to pay its debts may need a restructuring plan to accommodate the interests of its bankers, creditors and shareholders so as to avoid the company from being put into liquidation. The restructuring may need the entry of a white knight or compromises between shareholders, financiers, bankers and creditors.
- We can act as advisers for these restructuring services for companies.
- An IPO is an exercise for qualified companies to be listed on the stock exchange. The company has to appoint advisers such as an investment bank, auditor, IPO adviser, reporting accountants, lawyers, etc. to assist them. With their help, the company will undertake a due-diligence exercise and prepare a disclosure document to be submitted and approved by the SERC (Securities Exchange Regulator of Cambodia).
- We have the experience and knowledge to act as auditors, reporting accountants and IPO advisers for companies preparing for an IPO.
- Companies can often grow faster by acquiring or merging with other companies. Finding the right targets, negotiating with them, agreeing on suitable terms and conditions, and undertaking a due-diligence exercise to evaluate their financial health will need the help of M&A advisers.
- We can act as advisers to assist with these M&A exercises.
