Growth & Transactions
We ensure that we are on hand to give advice throughout the whole life cycle of your business, whether it is starting up, growing, expanding, or has reached maturity.
We will spend time with you working out what you want to achieve and how you are going to achieve it.
If you are looking to raise equity and loan capital, we can produce the financial figures that you need. We will ensure that your business plan addresses the marketplace that you trade in, the strength of your product and of your management team. We will also help you identify the unique selling points that will make a plan attractive to investors.
We consider and are experienced in accessing all forms of funding such as:
- invoice discounting
- pension fund loans
- crowdfunding
- alternative loan funders
- bank funding
- equity release on assets
- business angels and use of SEIS/EIS schemes
- local authority funding
- specialist sector support
Our transactional support includes vendor and buyer financial and/or tax due diligence.
Whether you are looking to buy or sell a business, or parts of it, going through an appropriate due diligence process establishes the soundness, or otherwise, of a business. By carrying out a detailed review of the financial records, we use our experience and financial expertise to verify the business. This assists you and your other advisers with the ongoing negotiations as the deal nears completion and provides comfort to both buyers and sellers.
Our team is on hand to help you understand the critical factors so that informed decisions can be made.
We also have a strong network of legal and corporate finance professionals who we work with regularly and can bring into the process to assist if appropriate.
Business Valuations and Expert Witness
Where our clients require business valuation and expert witness support, our team has wide-ranging experience of preparing business valuations and expert witness reports, including loss of profit claims, matrimonial or commercial disputes, and professional guidance for tax. We work closely with solicitors using our in-depth practical, theoretical, and commercial expertise to deliver clear and concise reports focussing on the key matters.
Forecasting and Budgeting
Forecasting and budgeting are also important business tools for our clients to allow them to set goals and plan ahead. This enables them to make informed business decisions and evolve strategies on a timely basis. We offer detailed assistance in this important area, ranging from relatively simple short-term cash flow forecasts to longer term strategic modelling.
Key features of our growth & transactions support include:
Transactions
We want to give you reassurance on your transaction and work with you as part of your team. We aim to be precise, relevant and focus on the key issues.
Grants
It is possible to raise grant funding even when relatively few jobs are being created. We have excellent relations with the government organisations that matter.
Business Advice
We have years of experience solving the issues businesses have to deal with when growing whether it’s expansion, exit, commercial strategy, succession planning or just reassurance. Sometimes it’s a lonely place for business owners but our clients are never alone. We’ll always listen and discuss what option is best for you.
Funding
Whilst we have direct access to the prime funders we have also built up an extensive network of advisors who can find funding for situations that don’t naturally fit with prime funders. We don’t take commissions from introductions, we simply work for you and find you the right funder for your situation.
