Dialogues have come down to the wire, and the commanding Mexican shareholders are trying to get its offer to be raised by HSBC. Is it worth it? HSBC must determine on both tactical and short term fiscal criteria under some level of uncertainty as illuminated by a due diligence process.

The evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages in this purchase along with the set up of priorities that are set by him and his team, need to be confronted, including problems related to change of cultures in workplace, rebranding Bital as HSBC Mexico, staff problems and maintaining the continuity of the business.
