M&A Advisory, Due Diligence & Business Valuation in Cyprus
Corporate Advisory
Established in 1985 and regulated by ACCA and ICPAC, Iacovou & Co. advises on mergers, acquisitions, due diligence and business valuations for companies across Cyprus, working alongside our audit team on the financial side of every transaction.
Most of the due diligence engagements we run surface a handful of recurring issues: undocumented related-party transactions, contracts that do not match declared headcount, or licences that lapsed without renewal. None of these necessarily stop a deal, but a buyer who finds them before signing negotiates very differently to one who finds them after.
Due diligence exists to safeguard against exposure the balance sheet alone will not show. We treat it as a standing part of any expansion, merger or sale, not a formality tacked onto the end.
Whether a client is looking to expand, merge or sell their business, we also provide the wider corporate and advisory services that a transaction tends to bring with it, from restructuring to new entity formation.

Buyers, Sellers & Growing Businesses
Who We Work With
We work with buyers conducting due diligence on an acquisition target, owners preparing a business for sale, and companies structuring a merger or expansion. The same team stays involved from the first valuation conversation through to completion, rather than handing a transaction between departments partway through.
Corporate Advisory, Answered
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a corporate advisory engagement in Cyprus include?
We advise on mergers and acquisitions, due diligence investigations, business valuations and sale preparation for companies expanding, merging or selling in Cyprus.
What does due diligence actually uncover?
Most due diligence engagements surface a handful of recurring issues: undocumented related-party transactions, contracts that do not match declared headcount, or licences that lapsed without renewal. None of these necessarily stop a deal, but a buyer who finds them before signing negotiates very differently to one who finds them after.
How is a business valued for a sale or merger?
We value businesses using financial statement analysis, market comparables and, where relevant, discounted cash flow modelling, adjusted for the specific risks and assets of the company involved.
Do you advise on both buy-side and sell-side transactions?
Yes. We support buyers conducting due diligence on an acquisition target and sellers preparing a business for sale, including the financial clean-up that usually needs to happen first. Contact us to talk through where a transaction currently stands.
