Strategy and Corporate Finance
The goal of corporate strategy is to articulate the vision of a great company as well as a great stock—and to determine the specific actions needed to turn that vision into reality. The company’s strategy is rooted in a clear understanding of competitive advantages and a multi-year road map for how to best use advantages to driving profitable growth and strong and sustained value creation. A successful corporate strategy will determine the best business mix, prioritize the right growth platform, and formulate a financial strategy to transform vision into value.
It looks at the company’s entire organization to determine how to maximize value, and thus adopts a strategy to achieve key dynamics.

1. Holding Strategy
01. Holding Strategy
Holding companies play a crucial role in capital accumulation and allocation. These companies are seen as stable and viable because they can organize and coordinate the flow of external venture capital to the capital-intensive basic industrial sectors.
Holding and subsidiaries may be unable to fully align on short-term and long-term objectives and directions, failing to fully leverage the performance potential of the group. The difference in priorities, focus, and management style of HQ and subsidiaries may be leading to shareholder value destruction and value creation opportunity loss.
APP can lead the group to success by establishing a strong strategy for the holding company and its relation with the subsidiaries.
02. Family-Business Strategy
A large number of enterprises throughout the world are family-owned businesses.
The long-term success of family firms is not given, and it is not an easy task. There are many complexities involved when ownership, management, and family roles overlap, and fewer clear distinctions exist between them.
The long-term value for family businesses is driven by Performance (business) and Platform (family). Balancing the two drivers is critical, as is looking at strategies through a long-term outlook to build an enduring entity that lasts for generations.
APP optimizes the company performance which is crucial to the survival of the business as it generates income and dividends while setting up the right platform that is fit for the family.

3. Value-Based Management (VBM)
03. Value-Based Management
VBM is a strategic, organizational approach that focuses on maximizing value. Value is often taken to mean long-term shareholder value.
The value of a company is determined by its discounted future cash flows. Value is created only when companies invest capital at returns that exceed the cost of that capital. VBM extends these concepts by focusing on how companies use them to make both major strategic and everyday operating decisions. Properly executed, it is an approach to management that aligns a company’s overall aspirations, analytical techniques, and management processes to focus management decision-making on the key drivers of value.
At APP, we help the companies to execute this approach through understanding the real values of each business and set up strategies to maximize those values.
04. Business-Cycle Management
The business cycle is the natural rise and fall of economic growth that occurs over time. This cycle is a useful tool for analyzing the economy, and can also help with making better financial decisions.
Managing the business cycle is key to sustaining profitability. The ability to grow the organization efficiently or handle macro-economic downturns requires an enterprise that is prepared and adaptable in terms of costs, competencies, processes, and customers.
APP helps companies by designing the proper business cycle model and thus assists managers and decision-makers in maintaining and maximizing profit.

5. Business Plan
05. Business Plan
A well-written business plan is an important tool because it gives entrepreneurs the ability to lay out their goals and track their progress as their business begins to grow. Formulating a business plan should be the first thing done when starting a new business. Business plans are also important for attracting investors so they can determine if your business is on the right path and worth putting money into.
APP helps businesses and startups by creating and evaluating their business plans, using a dedicated team of experts.
06. M&A Strategy
One of the most complicated steps in the mergers and acquisitions process is structuring the deal properly. There are many factors to be considered, such as antitrust laws, security regulations, corporate law, rival bidders, tax implications, accounting issues, market conditions, forms of financing, and specific negotiation points in the M&A deal itself.
Every M&A deal is different, and the path to value creation is unique. APP helps businesses move forward with confidence through every step of the M&A lifecycle—from strategy and due diligence through integration and divestiture.
