Introduction

The globalization of business over the past decades has spawned a search for competitive advantages that is worldwide in scale. In combination with other trends, such as increased deregulation, and corporate restructuring, globalization has spurred an unprecedented surge in cross-border activity, especially merger and acquisition. To boost dynamic economic growth, companies now rely on international co-operation and development which requires an understanding of cross-border transactions.

Direct legal and financial advisory services play an important role in establishing and organizing cross-boarder business arrangements. In order to manage a successful deal, corporations have to choose carefully the right instrument which enables clients to achieve their desired goal and to mitigate possible risks.

Capital availability is becoming a vital aspect of cross-border transaction because companies need to look at how transactions can shape their future business, considering current market conditions and the needs for liquid assets.

Leveraged finance may be required to make a quick acquisition, to effect a buy-out, to repurchase shares, to fund a one-time dividend payment, or to invest in a self-sustaining cash-generating asset.

Investment Funds are special instruments to aggregate the funds of a large number of small investors into a specific investments thus giving individual investors access to a wider range of securities than the investors themselves would have been able to access.

Securitization distributes risk by aggregating debt instruments in a pool and often utilizes a special purpose vehicle (SPV), reducing the risk of bankruptcy and thereby obtaining lower interest rates from potential lenders.

It is also important to work out a plan for integration before doing the deal, to agree the details, both legal and financial issues, and to develop clear communication throughout the entire process. Without comprehensive transaction support it is impossible to choose the right strategy.
