If this is your first step into business, you’re likely to be working full time. Or you might already be running a successful business and facing the everyday demands that brings with it. Either way, you’ll need the right team around you to save you time, money and heartache – and that’s where we come in.

Here for you, every step of the way

We’ll be by your side to keep up the momentum and guide you through the various stages:

• project planning to identify possible businesses
• evaluate target businesses
• negotiations
• due diligence
• completion
• integration

Getting the foundations right

Tax planning plays an important part of buying a business from the outset, as does the timing of the transaction. Every transaction comes with certain risks, opportunities and tax consequences. It’s our job is to make sense of it all and advise you on the best structure.

Our corporate finance team will help you negotiate, raise finance and prepare a well-reasoned business plan for this acquisition. It’s important not to put too much pressure on your on-going business operations, so the deal needs to be affordable to you and over a term that is comfortable.

Helping you through the process

Buying a business can be a stressful time with emotions running pretty high. We know this because we’ve bought businesses ourselves and have supported many clients over the years.

We’re not here to just do the technical stuff, we’re here to challenge, encourage, keep everyone calm and help you celebrate when the time is right. And after the deal is done? Well, that’s when the hard work really starts.
