DEAL SUPPORT

Exiting your company is not as simple as finding a buyer, agreeing a price and shaking hands on the deal. There are several more stages to navigate, and receiving the correct corporate advice is essential to ensuring your transaction advances as smoothly as possible. We work alongside carefully selected legal and tax advisory partners to offer our clients the optimum business service through every stage of the process.

LEGAL

TAX

A fundamental element of any company sale, we can facilitate a legal partner for you that will provide numerous benefits as a key part of our services. Working with our network of legal partners across the UK, we will introduce you to leading national law firms whose contingent fees are incorporated into our transaction success fee. The stress-reducing services of our carefully selected partners ensure you will receive the highest level of corporate transaction expertise, thanks to their vast experience in dealing with domestic, cross-border, investment and Plc transactions. The selected partner will take ownership of issues, provide solutions and orchestrate the legal side of the transaction through to its completion. They will anticipate any potential problem areas and present them appropriately to the buyer on your behalf, as well as ensuring an efficient, focused due diligence exercise is carried out.

When selling a business, the biggest cost you are likely to incur is tax – and there are several different types you may have to pay. However, there is potential to reduce your tax implications with the help of an expert in the field. The experts from the sister companies within our Group have vast experience in planning for, and dealing with, the tax considerations involved in all types of corporate finance transactions. Specialist advice in this sector means you will not have to pay more tax than required when selling your company. A full pre-transaction review of your business and deal structure identifies any tax risks, while our team of experts have acquired vast experience in liaising with HMRC to make cases clearly and persuasively to secure the most favourable outcome for their clients.
