Mergers and acquisitions

Sometimes the best way to improve your competitive position in the marketplace is through a merger or acquisition. Not only is this a complex and time consuming process, if it is not well researched and skillfully negotiated it could make matters worse, not better.

This is definitely a situation where you need the support and assistance of trained professionals. We can help you:

Identify potential targets for M&A
Screen targets for suitability
Prepare a negotiating strategy
Raise the necessary capital -see also our Corporate Finance Section
Develop an integration plan
Optimise the tax and financial position of the combined enterprise - see also our Corporate Tax Planning Service
At other times you may decide to improve your profitability through a disposal. Again, we can help with valuing the assets, finding suitable purchasers, and negotiating the sale

Don't take risks with your business - let the professionals help you.
