How To Handle Non-Routine Transactions: Liquidations, Acquisitions and Disposals
Recently, South Africa has seen a significant rise in liquidations, acquisitions and disposals, reflecting economic volatility and shifting market dynamics. Businesses across various sectors are grappling with economic pressures, leading to an increase in these non-routine transactions as companies seek to manage financial risks, exit failing ventures or restructure for future growth.
The liquidation process can be complex as it requires a deep understanding of legal frameworks, creditor claims and asset valuations. Liquidators need to ensure that all debts are settled fairly and that the remaining assets are distributed according to legal requirements. Businesses undergoing liquidation often face intense scrutiny from regulators and creditors.
Acquisitions on the other hand require thorough due diligence to assess the financial health of the target company, potential synergies and the legal aspects of the transaction. A successful acquisition requires a solid understanding of financial statements, contractual obligations and the market environment.
Disposals occur when a business sells off certain assets or divisions. This can be part of a broader restructuring strategy or a way to raise capital. Disposals need careful valuation of the assets and businesses must navigate tax implications and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
