Sale and acquisition support
Sell-side and buy-side support for owners selling, buying or bringing in a partner.
How we help
Most owners sell a business once. Buyers and their advisers do it all the time. We work on your side of the table, preparing the business, managing the process and working alongside your lawyers through to completion. For buyers, we test the numbers and the fit before you commit.
- Sell-side support: preparing the business, finding and approaching buyers, and managing the process
- Buy-side support: target screening, financial due diligence and deal structuring
- Indicative business valuations for planning and negotiation
- Raising debt and equity finance
- Management buy-outs, partner exits and shareholder changes
Some corporate finance activities are regulated. [Regulatory status for corporate finance work, if applicable]
Who it is for
Owners planning an exit, acquirers looking to grow by acquisition, and shareholders who want to change ownership in an orderly way.
How it works
- An initial conversation. We learn about you, your plans and what you need from us.
- A clear proposal. We set out the scope of work in writing and agree it with you before anything starts.
- Ongoing support. A named contact, agreed deadlines and regular check-ins.
Common questions
Can you take over from my current accountant?
Yes. We contact your current adviser for the information we need and handle the handover for you.
Do we need to meet in person?
Not unless you want to. Many clients work with us by video call and secure document sharing.
How do you charge?
We agree the scope with you in writing before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Tell us where the business is and where you want it to be
An initial conversation is the easiest place to start. We will listen, ask a few questions and tell you plainly whether and how we can help.
