A dedicated team to ensure the success of your business transactions
Whether you are looking to buy a business, raise finance for an existing venture or plan your exit strategy, our expert Corporate Finance team can accommodate even the most complex of financial transactions, liaising with other advisers as necessary. We are proactive in managing the process on behalf of our clients, ensuring clear guidance at every stage and swift resolution of any issues as they arise.
Our clients tend to fall into the £1m-£10m turnover bracket, although this is not exclusive; we also deal with many smaller organisations. Whoever the client, we take a strong commercial approach, supporting you through all stages of the business lifecycle. Our services include:
- Business acquisition
- Business disposal
- Finance raising
- Management buy-out / buy-in
- Preparation of business plan and financial models
- Succession and exit planning
Additional support services are also available as part of the transaction process, including due diligence, valuation and tax planning and mitigation.
The Corporate Finance team has grown over the past year to meet the expansion in our client base and the increasing number of transactions we are advising on. Corporate Finance Director Adrian Hemmings is uniquely placed to advise clients, having bought, run and sold his own business - giving him practical as well as professional experience of the transaction process. With access to specialist knowledge from colleagues including Jean-Paul Quertier, Corporate Tax Director - who works closely with the team to provide commercial and transaction tax advice – our dedicated Corporate Finance department offers a complete service.
