4. Buy and Build Strategy Advisory:
The ‘Buy and Build’ investment strategy, particularly prevalent in industries like hotels, offers notable advantages. It revolves around making replicable investments, providing economies of scale, and enabling a combination of geographical diversification with consistent risk. Ultimately, maintaining a homogeneous asset profile enhances the appeal to potential investors during exit.

Cross-border M&A, short for “Cross-border Mergers and Acquisitions,” refers to the practice of buying or selling companies that involve entities located in different countries or regions. In the context of corporate finance, cross-border M&A typically entails companies or investors from one country acquiring or merging with businesses from another country.

Cross-border M&A has become increasingly common in today’s business environment. This strategic approach acknowledges the advantages of looking beyond national boundaries when considering opportunities for acquiring or divesting companies.

Cross-border M&A offers various benefits, such as access to a broader range of potential targets, increased market presence, synergy creation, diversification of business operations, and the potential for cost savings and growth.

The M&A process is structured as follows:

1. Strategy & Project Definition

In this initial phase, the target is defined, and strategic alignment is assessed.

2. Mapping & Searching

An extensive market exploration identifies potential targets that align with the defined objectives.

3. Contacting Potential Targets

Initiating discreet, professional contact with the target companies. Building initial rapport and assessing interest is the focus of this stage.

4. Negotiating an Offer

In this stage, we negotiate terms of the letter of intent (LOI) to find common ground and mutually beneficial terms.

5. Due Diligence

A comprehensive review scrutinizes the target covering financials, operations, legal aspects, and more to uncover potential issues.

Alternative investments, such as real estate, private companies, or other innovative opportunities, can contribute significantly to international diversification.

Real estate acquisition is typically financed through a combination of various mechanisms. Common approaches include securing traditional mortgage loans from financial institutions, utilizing commercial loans, engaging in seller financing arrangements, and tapping into private equity or investment partnerships. Additionally, alternative financing methods may also be explored depending on the specific circumstances and objectives of the acquisition. The choice of financing method often depends on factors such as the size of the acquisition, the financial health of the buyer, and the overall investment strategy. We always develop a tailor-made strategy to meet the specified objectives.

In the context of real estate investments, investors can be broadly categorized into four types based on their risk appetite, leverage preference, and contribution.

1. Core Profile: This type of investor prefers the least risk. They generally seek stable, operational assets like hotels or apartments. Their investment approach is conservative with low leverage, focusing on predictable cash flows and asset quality.

2. Core+ Profile: These investors are a step above Core in terms of risk. They accept slightly higher risk for better returns, still focusing on operational assets but with potential for improvement. Their leverage is moderate, balancing risk with the potential for increased returns.

3. Value Added Profile: These investors are more risk-tolerant, targeting higher returns. They are willing to invest in assets that require significant development or transformation, such as underutilized land or buildings needing major renovations. This involves higher leverage and a focus on value creation through asset enhancement.

4. Opportunity Profile: This group seeks the highest returns and is willing to take on the highest risk. They typically engage in niche investments, involving complex situations like asset liquidation or legal complexities. Their strategy involves the highest level of leverage, aiming to significantly multiply their invested capital. They are often involved in transforming or creating assets from the ground up.

The strategies utilized in our advice are based on the strategic objectives of our clients. Our practical approach allows us to tailor specific approaches based on your needs.

In real estate, several valuation methods can be utilized. The following methods are commonly used in real estate:

Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Method:

Utilizes projected future cash flows to determine the present value of a property. Particularly effective for valuating income-generating properties with variable cash flows over time.

Benchmarking:

Compares the subject property to similar properties in the market that have recently been transacted. Involves analyzing key indicators and characteristics to determine a property’s relative value.

Cost Approach:

Evaluates a property’s value by estimating the cost of reproducing or replacing the structure. Considers factors such as depreciation to arrive at a comprehensive valuation.

Our valuation process integrates different methods, allowing for a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of a property’s worth. By combining the different methods, teamOn ensures a thorough and accurate assessment that aligns with the specific attributes and potential of each property.
