Corporate finance

Whether you are selling or buying a business – or merging with another organisation – comprehensive and specialist advice is essential right from the start.

It is not just a question of making sure you do the best financial deal, but a matter of protecting yourself and your company from all the possible problems that can arise.

Our business advisors have a real depth of knowledge from their involvement in numerous deals of all kinds and sizes, and they know what to watch out for – from initial planning to final contract and beyond.

Acquiring…

There are many questions to be answered when you are acquiring a business – what’s it really worth? How should a deal be structured? What are the risks? Where will the funding come from? Our advisors can help get the answers and make sure the acquisition is completely tailored to your best interests.

Selling…

Before your business even goes onto the market, our advisors will help with well-founded advice on all the options available to you. Expert advice and planning from advisors who know the process well will lay the foundation for a sale that goes smoothly and is structured in a way that is tax-efficient.

Merging…

Looking after our clients’ interests is the priority when a merger is on the cards. Our approach to the complexities of shareholdings and rewards, funding and responsibilities is entirely shaped by your own needs and priorities.

Raising finance…

Even in difficult times, finance is available for a sound deal. Our network of contacts know that when we approach them with a deal, it will be soundly based and deliverable – which is why we can typically help our clients find the funds they need.

Due diligence…

This is an essential part of the process to clearly identify the ability of the business to generate cash and make  sales and ultimately profit in the future. Our ability to get it right – and being exceptionally thorough – is the result of involvement in the due diligence process with many kinds of businesses over the years.
