We can also help you put the right succession plan in place to support your goals.

Selling a Business

Our dedicated team can utilise our extensive network to source prospective buyers, assist in negotiating the best deal and manage the project from start to finish.

Buying a Business

Identifying the right businesses to target is crucial in making acquisition a success. Our wide network and experience enable us to find opportunities and secure the necessary funding. We can preserve your anonymity, if required, throughout the process and ensure all necessary due diligence is carried out.

Management Buyout (“MBO”) and Management Buy-in (“MBI”)

MBOs and MBIs can be excellent succession strategies for a business. As an exit strategy it gives an opportunity for control of the business to pass to those with a close working knowledge of the business and is often a faster process than selling a business.

Raising Finance

Whether you are looking to support growth, refinance, release value or fund capital expenditure our experienced team can assist in finding you the right solution.
