Mergers and Acquisitions

Practical Support from Initial Discussion to Completion

Buying, selling or merging a business can create significant opportunities, but it also involves important financial, commercial and tax considerations. We provide clear, practical support throughout the process, helping business owners understand the figures, identify potential risks and make well-informed decisions.

Whether you are considering an acquisition, preparing your company for sale or planning a merger, we can work alongside you and your legal advisers from the earliest discussions through to completion.
 

Financial Due Diligence

Before acquiring a business, it is essential to establish whether its reported performance and financial position are accurate. We can review management accounts, statutory accounts, cash flow, working capital, liabilities, assets and other key financial information.

Our due diligence work is designed to highlight potential risks, unusual transactions and any matters requiring further investigation. We explain our findings clearly, allowing you to assess the opportunity with greater confidence.
 

Business Sales and Valuations

If you are selling your business, careful preparation can help strengthen its value and make the transaction process more efficient. We can assist with the presentation of financial information, profit adjustments, forecasts and responses to questions raised by a potential buyer.
 

We can also help you understand how a business may be valued, considering profitability, assets, market conditions, future prospects and comparable transactions.
 

Deal Structure and Tax Planning

The way a transaction is structured can have a major effect on both the commercial outcome and the resulting tax liabilities. We can review the financial implications of proposed terms and work with specialist tax and legal advisers where appropriate.
 

Support After Completion

Our involvement does not have to end when the transaction completes. We can assist with accounting integration, financial controls, reporting systems, cash-flow management and post-acquisition performance monitoring.

Every transaction is different. Our approach is confidential, commercially focused and tailored to your objectives, helping you move forward with clarity and confidence.
