We offer investors bidding for the purchase of rolling stock fleets, lease portfolios, ROSCOs, or rail operating companies an industry insider’s perspective to validate the business plan, growth strategy, and financial model assumptions, including market lease rates for specific assets and approaches to maximise value post-acquisition. By identifying the key value drivers of the target business, we help clients determine a realistic purchase price to win the tender.
