Business Buying, Selling and M&A Advisory in the UAE

BUSINESS ACQUISITION SUPPORT

Purchasing an existing business offers investors a faster, lower-risk path to market entry. The UAE’s stable economy, transparent legal framework, and global connectivity make it an ideal destination for business acquisitions.

Our process includes:

• Investor profiling and opportunity mapping to identify viable targets aligned with your strategy.
• Due diligence and valuation analysis to assess financial health, liabilities, and market position.
• Regulatory coordination with the Department of Economic Development (DED), Free Zone, or Offshore authorities.
• Ownership and asset transfer support including licenses, intellectual property, and workforce transitions.
• Post-acquisition support for governance, accounting, and operational integration.

CK International ensures that every acquisition is structured legally, financially, and commercially sound — helping investors avoid common pitfalls such as hidden liabilities, compliance breaches, or valuation errors.

Accurate valuation and rigorous due diligence are at the heart of every successful transaction.

Our valuation and audit specialist’s conduct:

• Multiple valuation methodologies – DCF, EBITDA multiples, asset-based, and market comparable.
• Financial and compliance audits to verify accuracy of statements and uncover hidden exposures.
• Tax and ESR assessments to confirm corporate substance and regulatory standing.
• Governance reviews and risk analysis to evaluate management controls and future sustainability.

Third-party validation by CK International enhances investor confidence and ensures transparency for all stakeholders.
