Merger & Acquisition
Navigate deals with precision, from sourcing to post-merger success.
At Qirat, our Merger & Acquisition service supports clients through the full transaction lifecycle—whether acquiring, merging, or divesting. We blend advanced analytics with regulatory rigor to unlock value, mitigate risk, and ensure long-term strategic fit in the Saudi business landscape.

Why It Matters
M&A deals can accelerate growth or compromise stability.
Poorly structured deals may lead to cultural misalignment, tax issues, or regulatory penalties.
A clear, data-driven process increases success rates and stakeholder confidence.
We help you navigate every detail, from opportunity to integration.
