Cross-Border Manufacturing Acquisition
Target identification, structuring and coordination through to a signed and closed acquisition.
M&A Advisory & Capital Raising — Executed Across India & the UAE.
LGS acts as a hands-on M&A advisory and capital raising partner — running buy-side and sell-side mergers & acquisitions, equity and debt fundraising, and cross-border strategic transactions from structuring through to a closed deal.
Buy-Side & Sell-Side
Equity & Debt
India UAE
One Deal Lead
Built for owners and boards who need a partner, not just a banker.
Whichever side of the table you're on, the same senior team stays on the transaction from the first conversation to the signed, closed deal.
Founders & Promoters
Considering a full or partial exit, or bringing in a strategic partner.
Boards & Investors
Evaluating an acquisition, add-on, or a new market entry through M&A.
Family Businesses
Planning succession, a generational transition, or a structured family business partial exit.
Corporates
Pursuing joint ventures, strategic partnerships or capital raises to fund growth.
Most transactions don't fail on price. They fail on process.
These are the four ways deals typically stall — and the reason we structure every mandate to avoid them from day one.
No Single Accountable Owner
Bankers, lawyers and accountants each own a piece — nobody owns getting to close.
The Valuation-to-Close Gap
Agreeing a price is not the same as agreeing terms, timelines and conditions to close.
Cross-Border Complexity
Two regulatory regimes, two sets of advisors, and no one coordinating between them.
Not Investor-Ready
Financials, data room and the growth story aren't yet in a shape investors can act on.
Structured before it stalls
Every mandate is scoped against these four failure points before terms are ever discussed.

A disciplined process, run by senior people.
One senior lead owns all five stages. The order matters — a transaction that skips structuring to get to a number is the one that stalls between agreeing a price and agreeing terms.
Evaluate
Understand the goal — sell, raise, partner or acquire — and what's realistic given the business, the market and the timeline you're actually working with.
Structure
Define the approach, the terms to target and who needs to be involved, before anything is positioned to a counterparty or an investor.
Coordinate
Align legal, financial and commercial advisors around one process, so the same question isn't answered three different ways by three different workstreams.
Negotiate & Close
Run the negotiation and the conditions to close — not just the price. Terms, timelines and closing conditions get the same attention the number does.
Integrate
Support the handover so what was agreed on paper is what actually happens once the deal is signed — governance, reporting and the practical detail included.
Why Choose LGS for M&A Advisory & Capital Raising
One Lead, Start to Close
The same senior person owns the transaction — no hand-off between "advisory" and "execution."
Both Sides of the Table
Real buy-side and sell-side experience, so we know how the other party is thinking.
Cross-Border Capability
Structuring experience across India and the UAE, not a single-market playbook.
Confidential, Senior-Led
Every live process is run discreetly, by senior people, on a need-to-know basis.
What We Don't Take On
Mandates Without a Realistic Path to Close
If the numbers, the timeline or the counterparty don't support a credible outcome, we say so before terms are drafted, not after months of work.
Parallel, Undisclosed Processes
We don't run a live mandate alongside an undisclosed second process for the same asset — every party at the table knows who else is at it.
Advice Without Ownership of the Outcome
We don't hand over a report and step back. The team that scopes the mandate stays on it through signing and the handover that follows.
Described by type and outcome — never by client.
Identities and terms stay confidential. These reflect the type of work, not any single, identifiable transaction.
Family Business Partial Exit & Growth Capital
Structured a partial exit alongside a growth capital raise for the next phase of the business.
Strategic JV for Market Entry
Structured and documented a joint venture to support entry into a new regional market.
Questions, before you reach out
What does an M&A advisor do?
An M&A advisor manages either side of a business sale or acquisition — target or buyer identification, valuation, due diligence coordination, deal structuring, negotiation and closing. At LGS, the same advisor also stays on through post-merger integration.
What's the difference between buy-side and sell-side M&A advisory?
Sell-side advisory represents the business being sold — positioning it, running buyer outreach and negotiating the best terms. Buy-side advisory represents the acquirer — identifying targets, running diligence and negotiating the acquisition. LGS runs both, and discloses any conflict before accepting a mandate.
What size of transactions do you work on?
We work with growth-stage and established mid-market businesses — typically owner-led companies that need a senior, hands-on partner rather than a large-bank process. Tell us the scale of what you're considering and we'll say plainly whether we're the right fit.
How are M&A and capital raising advisors paid?
Fee structures vary by mandate and are agreed upfront in writing, typically a working retainer combined with a success fee payable on close.
How is confidentiality handled during a live process?
Every transaction runs under NDA from the first conversation. Information is shared with counterparties on a need-to-know basis, and we don't disclose that a process is underway without your agreement.
