Strategies for success
In today’s fiercely competitive environment businesses need to constantly look ahead and prepare strategies to deliver success. Whether this includes restructuring, raising money, buying or selling a business, we will provide authoritative and objective advice you can trust.
A strategy gives you direction
Corporate structures
We can advise on the most appropriate structure for your business such as developing a holding company with trading subsidiaries, one company with trading divisions or a series of associated businesses, some of which may be single project vehicles. Working with our tax team we can also advise on issues such as segregating property assets from trading accounts to ensure the most tax-efficient outcome.
Valuations
Whatever the need for a valuation - shareholder dispute, matrimonial settlement, share transfer, staff incentive scheme or probate – we have the expertise to provide authoritative and accurate valuations.
Growing your business
Fund raising
We can advise on the best form of financing to achieve your plans, from factoring and invoice discounting through to raising funds through debt or equity funding. We can also structure joint venture agreements and prepare business plans and cash flow forecasts to help you secure essential funding.
Mergers and acquisitions
From our experience working on many mergers, we believe the essential first step is to assess each organisation’s financial and cultural characteristics for compatibility and areas of potential conflict. We then review the funding requirements and the most tax efficient means of effecting the merger and the most appropriate business structure.
We also assess the impact of prospective acquisitions by investigating the target business to verify supplied information, and will recommend the most appropriate terms for the transaction.
Due diligence
We can provide independent and expert assessment of a business to identify and mitigate key commercial and financial risks. Support is also given to clients whose business is subjected to a due diligence process, prior to a disposal or fund raising exercise. Our involvement will help at this often stressful time, allowing you to concentrate on what you do best - running your business.
Exiting your business
Succession planning
Passing the business you’ve built to the next generation can be a minefield. As well as the business and financial issues involved you may need to ask yourself some difficult questions and emotions can run high. An objective viewpoint in the early planning stages will enable you to stand back from the process and aid decision making.
Company disposals
You may be an entrepreneur wanting to realise your business investment or an owner wishing to exit the business. We can advise on full or partial sales, sales of subsidiaries, asset sales and management buy-outs.
Grooming a company for sale should be planned well in advance if you are to achieve the best possible outcome; with our expertise in deal management you can maximise value and wealth and help minimise risk and tax.
