Working with the right adviser from the outset is key to gaining a commerical advantage.

  • Review of financial performance and an assessment of value.
  • Review of corporate structure, tax and regulatory issues.

Agreeing a deal

  • Assistance in the production of an information memorandum.
  • Assistance in identifying potential acquirers, and advice on the relative merits of the respective offers by competing acquirers.
  • Advice on tactics and negotiation of the terms of the transaction through to Heads of Terms.

Completing a deal

  • Advice and assistance on the financial and legal structure of the transaction.
  • Advice and assistance on the financial aspects of the sale and purchase agreement, including working capital requirements, enterprise value to equity value adjustments, completion accounts mechanics, etc.

We can also undertake vendor due diligence or seller assistance to support and prepare you for the future sale of your business by seeking to address the potential issues and concerns of the prospective purchaser.

Furthermore, tax planning is a significant consideration in most corporate finance deals. Poorly structured transactions could lead to unwanted tax obligations or the loss of valuable tax reliefs - we work closley with our award-winning Tax team who are available to guide you in this area.
