Know what you’re getting into.
We’ll help you make informed decisions about the target company and whether its insurance and risk programmes are up to par. Our processes identify potential risks and gaps in coverage and ensure that the company in question is meeting all its obligations.
Insurance Due Diligence
RAS has partnered with Australia’s largest private equity firms to conduct due diligence on over 500 transactions. Our due diligence reports can include:
- A detailed summary of the target’s existing insurance programme
- Analysis of the reasonableness of insurance costs
- Identification of material gaps in cover, and
- Estimates of potential variance in insurance costs post-acquisition
We are often able to rectify material problems on the buyer’s behalf prior to financial close. Post-transaction, we can manage the implementation of recommendations.
Managing insurable risk throughout the transaction
If you are contemplating an IPO or a private raising, you need a clear idea of the insurable risks and potential costs of insurance. RAS can guide you through the process by:
- Explaining the insurable risks associated with a capital raising
- Helping you plan and budget for the required insurance changes
- Managing the insurance broker appointment and procurement of the required cover, and
- Ensuring the insurance requirements of lenders and other stakeholders are satisfied
Finding Synergies Between Programmes
RAS specialises in the analysis and integration of insurance programmes in M&A deals. As part of our due diligence and implementation process, we can:
- Analyse the strengths, weaknesses and costs of the separate insurance programmes
- Identify potential cost and coverage synergies
- Develop a plan to combine the covers and implement recommendations
If you are considering an acquisition, RAS can provide realistic estimates of future insurance costs and early identification of red flags that may disrupt or delay the transaction.
