Corporate Finance

How can corporate finance support you?

It begins with focusing on the processes and systems that help your business to stand on its own two feet and not be dependent on the existing board, owner manager or founder members. This will ensure you can maximise the value of your business and find the best possible route when you come to exit.

Do you want to grow your business overnight?

If the answer is yes, acquisitive growth is much faster than organic growth. One route might be to buy another business, this would help to get your business into its best shape for sale. Obviously this is not without hassle or risk, but we can help you with the entire process and take away some of the stress and worry.

This could begin with helping to identify your ‘strategic acquisition targets’. We can build a suitable shortlist, carry out the commercial and financial due diligence, help find funding for the deal, plus guiding and advising on legal documentation. This is where our knowledge of mergers and acquisitions comes in, helping you to get the most for your business when you decide to sell it.

Is a lack of funding causing you problems?

There is a wide range of funding solutions available to you, many of which you may not have heard of, or even considered which we can help you with. It might be worth asking yourself...

• Does access to funding stop you realising your ideas?
• Are you keen to find funding to support your innovative plans?
• Do you have finance, but you’re not sure if it’s the right type?

We can answer all of these questions and make accessing funding simple and straightforward. So, if you need a better facility for working capital, or if you’re looking for a larger chunk of cash for investing in machinery, marketing or a new product line, then let us know. Our Corporate Finance expertise can help you find the funding you need.

Exit Planning

It’s important to focus on the processes and systems that help your business to stand on its own two feet and not be dependent on the existing board, owner manager or founder members. These processes and systems will make your business more attractive to a potential buyer.

Realising your dreams

You may dream of moving abroad to that ‘place in the sun’, or maybe you’d like to relocate to the golf course, or spend more time with your family and friends? If you’re planning on selling your business, or even part of it and retiring in the next 10 years you need to start talking to us now.

Besides the obvious tax planning issues that need to be considered, we can also help you to prepare your business for sale, so that it sells more quickly, more easily, and for the best possible price. So, talk to us about your exit strategy sooner rather than later.
