Pillar 02 — Mergers, Acquisitions & Fundraising
Deals that close. Capital that arrives.
Buy-side, sell-side and fundraising advisory across Asia — from origination and valuation through diligence, negotiation and completion. Most of the opportunities we work on are never publicly marketed.
Who this is for
Built for decisions that cross borders.
Business owners selling
Preparing the company, defending the valuation, and running a competitive process with qualified buyers — while you keep running the business.
Acquirers & investors
Sourcing off-market targets across ASEAN, with local diligence and negotiation support that de-risks the entry.
Companies raising capital
Getting investor-ready and matched with the right capital — strategic, private equity or family office — on defensible terms.
What we deliver
The work, in practice.
Buy-side advisory
Target origination, approach, valuation, diligence coordination and negotiation support through to completion.
Sell-side advisory
Exit preparation, positioning, buyer identification from our network, and disciplined process management to close.
Deal origination
Off-market opportunities sourced through a network of owners, family offices and intermediaries built since 2014.
Valuation & due diligence
Defensible valuation ranges and coordinated financial, legal and operational diligence with specialist partners.
Fundraising strategy
Readiness, narrative, targeting and process management for growth capital raises.
Investor matching & partnerships
Introductions to investors and joint-venture partners whose mandate actually fits — not a spray of cold decks.
Common questions
Before you pick up the phone.
The questions clients usually ask in a first conversation. Yours will be specific — ask it directly
Do you work buy-side or sell-side?
Both — though never on the same transaction. On the buy-side we originate targets, coordinate valuation and diligence, and support negotiation. On the sell-side we prepare the business, position it to qualified buyers from our network, and manage the process to close.
How do you value a private business?
We triangulate: earnings multiples benchmarked against comparable regional transactions, discounted cash flow where the growth story justifies it, and asset-based views where relevant. The output is a defensible range and a clear narrative for why a buyer should pay within it.
Where does your deal flow come from?
From the network the firm has built since 2014 — business owners, family offices, funds and professional intermediaries across ASEAN, Greater China and the Gulf. Most opportunities we work on are not publicly marketed.
Can you help us raise capital rather than sell?
Yes. Fundraising mandates cover readiness (financials, story, structure), targeting the right investor type — strategic, private equity, family office — and running the process through diligence to completion.
What do engagements cost?
Typically a modest retainer plus a success fee on completion, aligned to deal size. The structure is agreed transparently before any work begins.
