Sustained growth is key for ambitious
businesses. Whether this is driven by acquisitions or alliances, the
correct approach, structure and pricing is imperative for continued
business success.
Acquisitions
& Mergers
Where you have established the requirement for an acquisition
or merger, we can help you achieve a successful transaction within
the optimum timescale, and minimise the downside risk. Our work includes:
| |
 |
|
Understanding your acquisition criteria |
| |
|
|
Researching, identifying and prioritising
target companies |
| |
|
|
Independently approaching target companies |
| |
|
|
Structuring the transaction |
| |
|
|
Securing funding, including equity, debt and
other more sophisticated instruments, see Corporate

|
|

| |
|
|
Negotiating the deal |
| |
|
|
Assisting and advising commercial, technical
and legal due diligence |
In situations where a merger - as opposed to an acquisition - is strategically
desirable, specific risks arise for your interests in the new combined
entity. As an integral part of the transaction we will help you identify
and mitigate these risks, giving the new venture the strongest base
from which to deliver the expected business benefits.
Management
Buy-Outs and Buy-Ins
Whilst executing and completing an MBO or MBI shares many of the same
principles as a business acquisition, helping you as a manager become
a shareholder brings an additional range of challenges.
Commencing with a rigorous assessment of the project’s
viability, we help you develop a robust and compelling business plan,
and introduce funders including private equity and MBO/MBI specialists.
Business Sales
In preparing and executing any business sale, achieving the best possible
terms is your primary concern. Our work with you includes:
| |
|
|
Establishing sale strategy, price expectations
and realistic valuation parameters |
| |
|
|
Preparing the company for sale, including
company structure,
management grooming, succession planning, legacy arrangements,
financial optimisation, etc.
|
| |
|
|
Researching, identifying and prioritising
potential purchasers (including those outside your current industry,
where highest sale value may ultimately result) |
| |
|
|
Introducing tax advisors to ensure the most
appropriate taxation treatment for the vendor, whether corporate
or individual |
