Mergers & acquisitions

Sometimes the best way to improve your competitive position in the marketplace is through a merger or acquisition. Not only is this a complex and time consuming process, if it is not well researched and skillfully negotiated it could make matters worse, not better.

This is definitely a situation where you need the support and assistance of trained professionals.  Members of our team have been involved in mergers and acquisitions for prominent listed companies as they have grown and expanded.  This experience is unique for a small firm and enables us to offer a more in-depth service than most other firms of our size. 

We have also established close links with a firm of solicitors who specialise in the legal aspects of the process.  Our close working relationship enables us to make process flow smoothly as well as keeping costs down.

We can help you:

• Identify potential targets for M&A
• Screen targets for suitability
• Prepare a negotiating strategy
• Raise the necessary capital
• Develop an integration plan
• Optimise the tax and financial position of the combined enterprise
• At other times you may decide to improve your profitability through a disposal. Again, we can help with valuing the assets, finding suitable purchasers, and negotiating the sale.

Don't take risks with your business - let the professionals help you.
