BDO provided corporate finance lead advisory services to the management team on their acquisition of K.B. Event backed by H2 Equity Partners.
K.B. Event provide mission critical logistics solutions to the live events market, delivering large scale, complex events for the world's leading music artists, corporate conferences and theatre productions. K.B. Event are pioneers in sustainable transport, reducing the environmental impact of live events through innovations such as HVO and electric trucks.
BDO ran a competitive process which attracted significant interest from mid-market private equity, resulting in several parties submitting offers and enabling us to negotiate excellent terms for our client.
BDO's Transaction Services and Tax teams also provided buy side financial and tax due diligence services to H2 Equity Partners.
"The BDO team provided highly valued support helping us to navigate through a complex and challenging process to an excellent conclusion. From confirming value and positioning the investment proposition to ultimately securing the right strategic investor, BDO were tenacious and persistent, delivering invaluable support to complete the transaction. Integrated tax advice and targeted due diligence support helped to ensure a successful outcome for myself, the management team, and H2.”
