Acquisitions and Integration
Many organisations do not have readily available, in-house resources to identify all the potential market-related value-creating opportunities of an acquisition. The risk of purchasing something and discovering at a later date that it is not what it seemed is never greater. Anabol has the teams that can perform comprehensive commercial and operational due diligence, providing a coherent overview of business operations, as well as the detailed integration plans necessary to allow you to quickly take control.
The need to understand what you are really acquiring is especially true for cross border deals. The geographical reach and international expertise of the Anabol team, with its deep understanding of the market structure conduct-performance dynamics of the ‘home’ and ‘host’ industries, enable the development and implementation of a program to deliver value in a compressed time frame.
Cross Border Opportunities: Emerging market firms who want a presence in London
London’s pre-eminence as a financial centre means that a presence here is critical for success. However, in future the regulator will increasingly look to impose local and national regulatory solutions to address concerns it has about individual cross-border institutions, possibly requiring subsidiarisation for branch entities that do not meet regulatory requirements either in the London office or at the whole bank level. Obtaining FSA approval will take time, manpower and patience and Anabol offers a packaged solution to guide you through the maze.
Cross Border Opportunities: UK firms seeking a presence in Emerging Markets
Emerging market financial service sectors are in the process of a colossal upgrade in response to growing customer sophistication, broadening service ranges and changing regulation. In addition we have seen the development of a number of ‘international financial centres’, particularly in the Middle East, with business environments designed to encourage internationally active financial institutions. Whether your strategy focuses on the domestic market or on regional opportunities, the winning new entrants will be those that can turn the challenges presented by fiercely competitive markets into opportunities. Anabol can make this happen.
A New Regulatory Environment
We cannot expect certainty in terms of the UK’s micro- prudential regulation of individual firms until after the general election, to be held by next June. However, certain themes are emerging, such as the likely implementation of a counter-cyclical capital adequacy regime and core funding ratios. It also seems likely that the established ARROW framework will be strengthened and become more intrusive. Management can expect to be challenged on fundamental issues such as competence levels, business strategy and the interaction of conduct and prudential issues. Anabol can negotiate this evolving minefield on your behalf and present you with elucidation and solutions.
Restructuring
Many organisations benefit enormously from some form of financial restructuring, whether this be change in ownership, funding or control Anabol has the answer. Our specialist team will look for innovative solutions to your situation and provide a unique financial solution that will provide the means to increase the value of your organisation.
Offering More
Standing still is not an option. UK financial services companies will have to expand and increase their offering to compete in an increasingly difficult market place. There are many opportunities that are available to be exploited and Anabol’s consultants are positioned to give you the advantage of their experience to leverage the best options for you.
