Services

Mergers and Acquisitions
Our objective is to get the best value for our clients on acquisition and on exit. Our track record in this regard is clear from testimonials and our quality clients.

Acquisitions
We act for corporate clients and professional firms assisting in their acquisition strategy, management teams in undertaking management buy-outs (MBO) and management but-ins (MBI) and for individual equity acquirers/investors.

Trade Sales
We 'get inside' the business with detailed analysis and research prior to commencement of the sale process. This enables us to present key selling points, set value parameters and identify the key potential purchasers and ultimately achieve maximum value.

We act in relation to either a full or partial disposal. We have also assisted on a number of inter-shareholder sales and in dispute resolution by using our valuation and arbitration experience.
We provide a pre-sale exit grooming service often well in advance of a sale/exit. We put in the necessary structures within the business to max exit value and to minimise taxation.

We treat every deal with the same care and importance regardless of size.
