Mergers Acquisitions & Disposals
Buying a Business
Growth through acquisition can be
extremely successful but is also fraught with many risks. From the
outset we work closely with you to help you achieve your goals and
secure the right deal.
We have substantial experience in
advising management teams considering MBOs (Management Buy-outs) as
well as ambitious individuals interested in pursuing MBIs (Management
Buy-ins) and indeed Buy-Ins-Management-Buy-Outs (BIMBOs).
Our merger and acquisition experts undertake:
- identifying suitable targets
- approaching and negotiating with targets
- valuation of target business
- agreeing the deal
- advising on tax structuring
- assisting with raising external finance
