In the UAE, mergers and acquisitions can significantly impact a company’s ICV (In-Country Value) status, which plays a critical role in securing government contracts. An experienced ICV consultant helps businesses navigate this complex process by assessing the ICV implications of structural changes, guiding compliance strategy, and ensuring smooth re-certification post-merger. By involving an ICV consultant early in the transaction, companies can protect their certification, improve local value contributions, and maintain a competitive edge in the UAE market.
