Transaction services encompass the full range of financial advisory and analysis required to support a corporate transaction, from the initial financial modelling and valuation through to deal structuring, working capital analysis, locked-box or completion accounts mechanisms, and post-closing financial integration. In the UAE, transaction services must account for the specific financial reporting environment, the tax implications of the corporate tax regime, the VAT treatment of business transfers and the regulatory requirements of the relevant free zone or mainland authority.
CashLaw Global's transaction services practice provides the financial expertise that supports UAE corporate transactions at every stage. We conduct financial modelling and sensitivity analysis, prepare normalised earnings and adjusted EBITDA analyses, advise on working capital mechanisms and locked-box pricing structures, and manage the financial aspects of the closing process, including completion accounts preparation and working capital true-up calculations.

An earn-out ties a portion of the final purchase price to the business hitting specific financial targets (like revenue or EBITDA goals) after the acquisition closes, reducing the buyer's risk if performance slows post-sale.
The NWC peg establishes the normal level of inventory, accounts receivable, and accounts payable that the seller must leave in the business at closing to ensure the buyer can run daily operations without needing an immediate cash injection.
