Our Services

How We Support You

No two businesses are alike. Whether you are buying or selling, you will have specific objectives and requirements for your transaction. Achieving those objectives requires credible answers to the many questions that naturally arise during the planning stage. That is where Cross Border Associates (CBA) can help.

When you work with us, you gain access to reliable insight from experienced specialists in all areas of international business. Our consultants provide advice on acquisitions, mergers, legal and regulatory matters, finance, taxation, and any other issues that may arise throughout the process.

Thorough and Reliable: Case Studies That Guide You

You may already have a clear objective for your transaction. Alternatively, you may still be defining what success looks like. In either case, we tailor our services to your specific needs.

CBA draws on relevant case studies comparable to your situation, helping you understand what to expect from an international transaction and how best to prepare for it.

Transparency and Integrity

CBA will never pressure you to buy or sell. Our role is to provide the time, clarity and resources you need to make fully informed decisions.

We operate with complete transparency. We do not withhold information, and we provide honest, practical advice at every stage. You can expect clear guidance through contracts, business valuations, legal considerations and tax matters.

We also work with humility. We do not overstate a company’s value, nor do we exaggerate our own achievements. Our responsibility is to support you with objective, professional advice that leads to a successful cross-border transaction.

Sell-Side Advisory

We streamline the process of valuing your business and presenting it in the strongest possible light. Our advice covers:

Identifying business units that may be suitable for divestment
Defining the most appropriate buyer profile
Structuring negotiations to maximise shareholder value
Arranging and managing management buy-outs
Advising on governance implications for boards, management teams and shareholders

Our focus is to ensure your business is positioned effectively and that the transaction achieves optimal value.

Buy-Side Advisory

For corporate buyers, we help shape and implement a clear growth strategy.

Our approach is research-led and methodical. Based on your agreed objectives, we:

Identify and shortlist suitable target companies
Approach selected businesses with structured proposals
Facilitate negotiations
Oversee due diligence
Support you through to completion

We manage the process end-to-end, allowing you to focus on strategic decision-making.

Specialist and Non-Standard Transactions

Not all corporate transactions follow a conventional path. For complex or specialised deals, we connect you with our international network of industry experts.

Working alongside you, they apply proven frameworks tailored to the specific structure and requirements of your transaction. Our experience includes technology transfer, homeland security initiatives, green and sustainability-focused transactions, and other highly specialised cross-border deals.

What You Can Expect from Us

Clarity. Guidance. Commitment.

We will not overwhelm you with information and leave you to interpret it alone. If necessary, we will guide you step by step through the entire process of buying or selling a business internationally. Our engagement continues until your transaction is successfully completed.

Our Fee Structure

We believe in fairness and transparency.

We do not charge by the hour or by the volume of services used. An initial consultation is provided free of charge. Fees are agreed only for additional services where required.

Our objective is simple: to help you complete the right transaction, in the right way.
