M&A Consultants
CFO Ventures provides disciplined M&A advisory across Dubai, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and the wider MENA region.
We run buy-side and sell-side processes end to end: strategy, target screening, valuation, and transaction execution.
Our team builds investor-grade models, synergy cases, and IFRS-consistent analyses (including IFRS 3 impacts).
We prepare data rooms to DIFC and ADGM standards, manage NDA and information flows, and maintain a clean issues log so momentum never slips. For sell-side we create the teaser and IM, coordinate vendor due diligence, and position the equity story to maximise competitive tension. For buy-side we lead diligence workstreams, test the business plan, and shape value through price mechanisms such as completion accounts, locked-box, earn-outs and working-capital adjustments.
We negotiate SPA/SSA terms with a practical focus on risk allocation, warranties, indemnities and, where suitable, W&I insurance. Every step aligns with regional compliance: UAE corporate tax, Saudi Zakat, GCC VAT, and local regulators including the Saudi CMA and the UAE SCA.
Execution does not end at signing. We design closing checklists and funds-flow statements, secure consents and regulatory clearances, and plan Day-1 readiness with a 100-day integration roadmap. Post-merger integration covers governance, reporting, controls, treasury, and people processes, with clear KPIs and accountability.
We also handle carve-outs and separations with transitional service agreements that protect operations while standing up the new entity. Our cross-border experience spans Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman, including family-owned businesses and venture-backed scale-ups.
The outcome is consistent: shorter timelines, fewer surprises in diligence, and value protected at closing and beyond. Professional, discreet, and measured—that is how we deliver M&A in MENA.
