Acquiring, merging, disposing, starting up or expanding of a company or business can be a complex and hazardous affair and many transactions are less successful than expected. Mistakes and oversights are always expensive and sometimes disastrous. The aim of PCC therefore is to ensure that parties are fully appraised of all possible contingencies.

Armed with solid, reliable intelligence, a party to a transaction is able to confidently make the right decision with regard to the best options to suit their strategy for wishing to conclude a transaction to their best advantage.

PCC concentrates specifically on the research, identifying and screening, investigation, planning and design of mergers and acquisitions, competitive positioning and pre-acquisition reviews based on publicly available information.

PCC advises on a party’s strategy, and obtains a clear understanding of its requirements. PCC will then carry out a professional search, evaluation of the market and produce details of appropriate opportunities. If a transaction is to be pursued, PCC will assist in the evaluation of the target, the environment in which it operates as well as its profitability, performance and growth prospects.

PCC will then assist with negotiations, briefs to professional advisors and, in particular, will carry out an in depth security due diligence investigation to ensure that there are no “skeletons in the cupboard”. In addition any other support services required can be facilitated by PCC. 

Because of the services it provides, PCC has taken on the role of coaching and assisting BEE and other companies, especially those in financial trouble. PCC assists them to turn around and increase their profitability and when in a position to do so, assistance is given to these companies to grow organically or by way of acquisition.
