Deal Ready Series: Africa

We hosted a great fireside chat this week to gain some honest insights into the main deal themes & trends across the continent. We were privileged to be joined by special guests Peter McCrystal, Partner/Director at PWC, Charles Douglas, Co-head of M&A at Bowmans, and Arun Varughese, Head of Financial Sponsor Group Advisory at Rand Merchant Bank, alongside Arie Maree, Head of Africa and Middle East at Ansarada and hosted by Ansarada CMO, Justin Smith.

As we prepare for Level 1 lockdown, is it all doom and gloom or are there green shoots of hope sprouting? Where are the opportunities? 

Sellers think the market is not right as multiples are too low due to the pandemic. Buyers think the multiples are still high with the pandemic (with slower business activity factored in). Where is this waiting game headed? All these answers and more.

As promised, we're offering free access to our Deal Workflow Pathway, where you can digitize your end-to-end deal processes for greater speed, visibility and collaboration.

Given the strong interest in restructuring activity that came out of the discussion, we're also sharing our free practical restructuring guide to help you understand the steps to acting quickly and moving forward with confidence.

Thanks again to all of those who joined us, and we hope to see you at the next event!
