Frequently Asked Questions

Q:

What makes ICG different from a large consulting firm?

ICG delivers enterprise-grade integration and carve-out expertise without the bloated teams or excessive costs of traditional global firms. Every engagement is led by a seasoned consultant—not delegated to junior staff—ensuring faster decision-making, greater alignment, and better ROI.

Q:

At what stage should we engage ICG?

The earlier, the better. We provide value across the full deal lifecycle—from pre-acquisition due diligence and synergy planning to post-close execution. Engaging us early allows for better integration design, risk mitigation, and alignment across stakeholders.

Q:

Do you only work with private equity firms?

While private equity is a core focus, we also support corporate buyers, mid-market companies, and founder-led businesses navigating complex M&A transactions. Our flexible delivery model adapts to your needs, whether you're a fund, a portfolio company, or a corporate acquirer.

Q:

Do you provide on-site support or work remotely?

We do both. Our model is hybrid by default—onsite when it’s essential, remote when it’s efficient. We tailor our approach based on project scope, team structure, and your organizational preferences.
