Advisory
Business priorities change in relation to various factors that include the socio-economic environment and the age of the enterprise. While a start-up undertaking may prioritize funding and market entry, a more established undertaking will prioritize new market penetration, change management, innovation and corporate governance.
We do this by developing a deep understanding of your needs, challenges and ambitions − taking a proactive approach in working with you across all facets of the business. By offering fresh insights and perspectives, combined with practical and pragmatic business advice, we can help you make critical decisions with confidence.
Allcon has established a team of business consultants that have the capabilities to address the needs of business at different stages of development.
Currently we are providing advisory services in:
Business Planning
Structuring Advice
Financial Management
Sales and Divestments

Business Planning
If you want to reach new markets, develop new products or fine-tune your operations, our business planning advisers can help you start, grow and exit a business on your terms and in your time.
We will advise you on the best structure – trust, private or public, onshore, offshore, centralized or distributed. We can structure and plan for all the phases, through startup, growth and maturity, ensuring you maximize your returns.
Besides assisting you to develop the business plan, we are at your side to make it happen, adapt it when needed and keep you informed at every critical juncture.
Even more importantly, our advisers are networked and connected to a vast amount of intelligence and business information on local, national and global industry trends that we will share with you for your businesses’ benefit.

The answer is YES If you have the RIGHT ADVISER
Structuring Advice
Growing wealth through a business can deliver many benefits to an owner or an investor but even the most profitable company will not deliver those returns if structures are not in place to manage them.
Which one is right for you?
The right structure is essential to maximize returns, to optimize and manage the tax obligations, and to have cash available at the right time and in the right quantities.
We help large public companies structure for efficiency and optimal operation as well as helping small and medium enterprises to manage their cash and profits and meet their obligations and the aspirations of their owners.
One of the main reasons that businesses continue unchanged is the cost associated with restructuring.
These costs include income and capital gain taxes, transfer duties and the cost of the restructure itself.

Partnership changing to a trust with a corporate trustee?

Financial Management
Every balance sheet tells a story. Every P&L describes your business in exquisite detail – for those who have the right eyes to see it.
Now, thanks to deep analytics and powerful financial information processing, we can not only run an exact ruler over your business, but model the financial implications of multiple decisions and scenarios.
Whether you want to access capital, manage cash, plan for and minimize your tax obligations, reduce financial risks or develop meaningful reporting that improves your decision making, our financial management expertise can help make your business better off.
Sales & Divestments
We work with our clients to ensure that market conditions are favorable to a potential transaction and execute against strategies tailored to our client’s objectives.
We understand selling a business is sensitive and that it is not just about getting things technically right.
Divestments, on the other hand, are set to play an increasingly large role in company strategies as they seek to realign their business models for growth. We believe that divestments can create stakeholder value for both the buyers and sellers if done with clarity of purpose on both sides. Formulating the divestment in explicit terms is essential for a successful transaction.
Our Corporate Advisory team can work with you to determine a suitable approach and help guide you through the complex issues at each and every stage of the divestment process, so it runs as smoothly and efficiently as possible.
Financial Modeling, Budgeting & Projections
The financial model is a tool that helps to provide a strategic direction for your business.
Financial models or projections ask “What would happen if…?”.
A financial model integrates all company functions. Through the model, future expectations are demonstrated based on educated assumptions. Management should be able to move toward finding the best course of action among various alternatives by simulation.
While a budget is a plan to acquire and use resources at the beginning of the period, it serves as a control device to help measure your company’s performance against the plan at the end of the period.
A forecast, on the other hand, quantifies your expectations and intended course of action. Often forecasts are needed by lenders, investors and other external users.
Allcon would work with your management team to develop a budget, document your significant assumptions and compile the financial information based upon your plans.
Business Broker
If you want to work for yourself and do not want the headaches associated with a startup, you may consider buying an existing business. Yet how do you know what the company is really worth? You may need help navigating this unfamiliar territory.
Our Business Broker Services will help you every step of the way, from finding a company that meets your business interests, through evaluating its assets and operations, to finding help with financing, and, finally, to turning the key and taking over ownership.
Our Business Broker Services have experience in all facets of selling a business, from a complete evaluation of the company to helping you find a qualified buyer.
Or perhaps you own a business, are ready to retire, and have no heir apparent to whom you might turn over the company. Where do you look for prospective buyers? And how do you arrive at your asking price?
Our mission is to bring buyers and sellers to a mutual understanding when
buying, selling, and valuing existing businesses.
