We are here to help
SKELA is ready help across all the phases of any deal – merger, acquisition, and business transformation.
Consider
Are you intrigued by what is involved in selling your business? Or perhaps, you are ready to growth through acquisitions? Let’s talk it through.
Prepare
Is your strategy to sell the business within a specific timeframe? Let's work together to ensure that you maximize the value from your efforts.
Pre-Deal
Starting any kind of merger, acquisition, or transformation, events move quickly from NDA, term sheet, and LOI and beyond. Are you ready?
Close
Getting through the due diligence process and the Close can be extraordinarily challenging especially when you’re working to specific deadlines.
Post-Deal
Beyond the deal Close there is a bewildering array of deliverables in a world of uncertainty, all underwritten by legal obligations and consequences for non-delivery.
Ad-Hoc
Deals have risks that must be managed and mitigated. Often things go wrong at unexpected times and urgent remedies are needed. Do you have the support you need?
Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
