Consumer trends and changing behaviour are having an unprecedented impact on both retail and consumer goods. New and shifting channels and emerging business models put pressure on large established players but also generate new opportunities. Driven by the need to change or to seize these opportunities, PE and corporates are increasingly stepping up their M&A activities to seize opportunities.
PwC Deals assists Retail & Consumer companies during the deals process in multiple ways; from defining and validating M&A strategy and finding relevant targets, to due diligence on all relevant aspects of a deal (commercial, financial, operational, IT, pensions and tax). Post-deal we help Retail & Consumer companies with post-merger integration and carve-out issues. Our restructuring business can help retail and consumer goods companies that are under financial pressure.
We can help you to define or validate M&A Strategy through an assessment of consumer markets segments and an M&A target search that provides great opportunities. We can help grow your business through a well-thought strategy based on your capabilities and fit.
