Services for Businesses  > Business Acquisitions, Mergers and Sales

A business acquisition, merger or sale may be the option that makes the most sense for you at a particular time in the life of your business.

But if you go through these complex and time-consuming processes only once or twice during your business life, it is wise to turn to experts in the field to help you achieve the best results.

We will work with you to manage your merger, acquisition or business disposal, with the aim of maximising the outcome for you and minimising any potential risks.

If you are seeking to buy another business, we can advise on all aspects of the transaction, from helping you to identify appropriate target businesses to advising on the right price to pay.

We can also advise on the appropriate financial structure for the transaction – for example, the mix of cash, delayed payments and equity – and assist with assessing business values, due diligence, sourcing suitable finance and negotiations with purchasers and vendors.

If you have decided to dispose of your business, we can work to maximise its market value and time the eventual sale to mitigate tax liabilities and take advantage of tax planning opportunities.

We can also advise on the best method of sale, including a management buy-out, management buy-in or arms-length sale, help in sourcing a buyer and advise on issues including valuations, due diligence and negotiations with purchasers.
