M&A and Corporate Finance
Transactions in the Caribbean have their own dynamics: smaller markets, family-owned businesses, limited public comparables and buyers who need local knowledge. Getting value right, structuring the deal well and completing smoothly takes experienced advice.
Dawgen Global advises buyers, sellers, investors and lenders through the full transaction cycle — from valuation and due diligence to negotiation support and completion. As an accounting firm, we bring particular depth to the financial substance of every deal.
The challenge
Most Caribbean business sales and acquisitions are one-off events for the parties involved. Owners sell a business they built over decades; buyers commit capital based on information they cannot fully verify. Common problems — unrealistic valuations, hidden liabilities, poor structuring, deals that stall or fail — are avoidable with the right advice early.
Who it is for
- Owners preparing to sell all or part of a business
- Buyers evaluating an acquisition in the Caribbean
- Companies raising debt or equity capital
- Investors and lenders needing independent verification
- Groups restructuring holdings or preparing for succession

- You are considering selling, and want to know what the business is worth
- An acquisition opportunity has come up and you need to evaluate it
- A deal is under discussion and you need help structuring or verifying it
- You need capital and want to present the strongest possible case to funders
- The counterparty’s numbers do not quite add up

How it works in practice
Illustrative example. A regional group was offered the chance to acquire a competitor at an asking price based on owner projections. Our due diligence showed that two of the company’s largest customers were leaving and margins were overstated. The group renegotiated on real earnings, with an earn-out tied to customer retention, and completed at a structure that protected them while still capturing the market position.
Where we work
We offer all of our services in every territory we serve, with every engagement planned, reviewed and quality-controlled from our Caribbean headquarters in Kingston, Jamaica. Some regulated services are performed by affiliated firms; we will advise you of the arrangements when you make a request.
Frequently asked questions
What is my business worth?
Value depends on earnings, assets, market position and the specific buyer. We can give you an independent view grounded in real comparables, not rules of thumb.
How long does a sale or acquisition take?
Typically four to nine months from preparation to completion, depending on readiness and complexity. Early preparation shortens it considerably.
How do we keep a sale confidential?
We manage a controlled process: staged disclosure, confidentiality agreements and limited buyer contact until terms are agreed.
Can you help with due diligence on a company we are buying?
Yes. Financial due diligence is core to what we do — we verify the information you are relying on and surface the risks that matter.
How are your fees set?
Our fees are tailored to each client, based on the scope and complexity of the work and the agreed deliverables, and are set out in your engagement letter.
