Strategic Advisory

For UAE entrants and for UAE-based groups expanding outbound, we work through addressable market sizing, competitive dynamics, regulatory navigation, free zone versus mainland choices, and the post-tax economics under UAE Corporate Tax Law.

Pricing model design that balances market positioning, customer value, competitive response and financial outcome, with peer benchmarking, scenario modelling and the internal approval flows that keep pricing disciplined post-launch.

For underperforming units, carved-out businesses or stressed assets: rapid diagnostics, a turnaround plan covering operations, working capital and capital structure, and hands-on support through the first phase of execution.

We align structure, talent and people practices with strategic priorities, covering organisational design, role clarity, spans of control, decision rights, team structuring and succession depth, so the org chart supports the plan rather than fighting it. Where HR policy effectiveness is the question, we run structured policy reviews, employee surveys and peer benchmarking to surface gaps in competitiveness or compliance exposure and translate findings into recommendations and SOPs that bring consistency to your people framework.

End-to-end support for companies preparing for a UAE or cross-border listing. Routes covered include DFM, ADX, Nasdaq Dubai, DIFC under DFSA, ADGM under FSRA, and international exchanges. – Pre-Listing preparation: audit-ready financials, restated historicals, pro-forma information, equity story and competitive benchmarking. – Pre-Listing fundraising: engaging and negotiating terms with pre-IPO investors, with full transaction support. – Stakeholder and intermediary management: single point of coordination across merchant bankers, auditors, legal counsel and registrars. – Regulatory and documentation support: preparation, due diligence management and data room coordination. – Marketing and investor relations: investor presentations, roadshow materials, Q&A support and positioning. – Post-Listing compliance: guidance on ongoing regulatory obligations following listing.

We help investors and corporates identify high-growth opportunities through industry and market assessments, target screening, strategic fit evaluation, and transaction planning. Our team supports the entire acquisition journey, including valuation, non-binding offer negotiations, deal structuring, due diligence, documentation review, and end-to-end transaction execution.

We advise businesses and promoters on optimal fundraising and exit strategies, preparing compelling transaction materials and positioning opportunities to the right investors. Leveraging extensive market networks, we manage investor outreach, evaluate offers, negotiate commercial terms, and provide comprehensive transaction support through due diligence, data room management, and deal closure.

Sector-specific workshops that align leadership and functional teams on what AI can and cannot do today, the use cases already mainstream in your industry, and where focused investment will pay back.

Use-case identification and prioritisation, vendor evaluation and cost-benefit analysis, implementation oversight and the change management plan that determines whether the tools are still in use six months after go-live.

For finance and operations processes including record-to-report, AP, AR, expense management, vendor onboarding and bank reconciliations: process workshops, fit-gap analysis, automation design covering RPA and intelligent document processing, and implementation alongside your in-house team or chosen automation partner.

Independent valuations for transactions, restructuring, dispute resolution, IFRS reporting, ESOP design and family settlement, using DCF, market multiples, transaction comparables and net-asset methods, with reports that hold up under regulator, auditor and counterparty scrutiny.
