SPAC Consulting Services
Our SPAC consulting services are designed to assist you in the going public process from start to finish.
Over the past few years, SPACS (Special Purpose Acquisition Company) have surged in interest as bankers and celebrities have joined in on the method of going public without having to go through the traditional cumbersome process. With $138 B worth of SPAC IPOs globally in 2021 ($83 B in 2020), and with most SPACs taking place in the US, our SPAC consulting services can provide crucial support. SPACs can enable private equity firms and other sponsors to close a transaction resulting in being a publicly traded company with less cost than a traditional IPO, and in a timely and efficient manner.

We offer potential sponsors and companies looking to be acquired by a SPAC our extensive expertise related to transaction due diligence and analysis, reporting and financials preparation, regulatory and filing support, creation of internal controls and corporate governance programs to ensure a streamlined process for a successful transaction closing. We will tackle challenges head on to ensure all transactional risks are accounted for, customizing solutions to help your organization realize its goals, and positioning you for success.
