When the Gap Emerges
The distance between how a transaction is intended to work and how it behaves in practice is what BACH Global calls the Reality Gap. It opens where structural issues sit between the legal, financial, governance and operational workstreams, and widens as jurisdictions, advisers, stakeholders and execution requirements multiply.
Where BACH Global Adds Value
BACH Global provides independent transaction structuring and execution judgement across those workstreams, helping investment teams and companies identify and resolve structural issues before they affect approval, execution or closing.
