Acquisitions and Mergers Due Diligence
In the rapidly evolving training, education and skills sector, acquisitions and mergers are increasingly common, making effective due diligence crucial to avoid costly mistakes.
While standard due diligence covers areas like strategy, operations, and finance, this sector's unique regulatory landscape requires specialised knowledge.
Pro Excellence Partnership offers unmatched support for your due diligence efforts. Our team, with hands-on experience in the sector, ensure that your process aligns with both standard business requirements and the specific regulations of the FE and Skills sector.
With our expertise, you can proceed confidently, knowing every aspect of your acquisition or merger has been thoroughly vetted.
Governance and Advisory Board
A strong board is essential for driving success in the competitive Further Education and Skills sector. Boards impact organisational performance and are scrutinised by external bodies for their effectiveness in challenging, supporting, and guiding institutions.
The recently published Financial handbook for independent training providers mandates larger Independent training providers to have at least one non-executive director or trustee to ensure independent scrutiny of funded delivery.
At Pro Excellence Partnership, our team are experienced board members and chairs who know that successful boards require diverse skills, experiences, and expertise to challenge strategies and turn them into action.
Whether you need expertise in funding, finance, quality, or strategy, we can enhance your boards effectiveness by introducing new members or providing targeted training. Our goal is to help your organisation reach its full potential through strong, informed governance.
