Our team has worked on hundreds of acquisitions both internally within acquisitive companies and as advisers. Our experience working on the acquisition of bus, coach, rail and private hire car businesses extends across the UK, Europe and the Middle East and includes numerous privatisations as well as private sector deals. We have hands-on familiarity with all of the issues that need to be considered in evaluating an acquisition or investment target in passenger ground transport and the work that needs to be done in due diligence before a deal is completed.

Whether you are a transport company that is making an acquisition or a private equity or other investor that is considering an investment opportunity, FC Transport Consultants are familiar with all the issues that need be looked at both to evaluate the quality of a prospective deal and to value it in financial terms. We have years of experience in helping transport companies and investors do this, but we are also up-to-date with trends in industry technology and innovation and are comfortable working on the evaluation of new technology, start-up or early-stage opportunities.

Our due diligence offering for passenger transport deals is holistic. We can review the target business in detail and prepare a full financial due diligence report and presentation to a standard comparable to leading international accountancy firms. As passenger transport specialists with consultants experienced in all areas of passenger transport, we can extend our due diligence review as required by our clients to cover commercial due diligence and specialist passenger transport areas such as regulatory compliance, environmental, social and governance issues, infrastructure and fleet quality, use of technology, engineering, labour relations and other stakeholder relations.
