Mergers, Acquisitions and Disposals
|
 |
Business people will consider mergers, acquisitions and disposals for a variety of reasons, which would normally follow a business review.
- Expansion
- Reduction in costs and increase in efficiency
- Eliminating a loss-making department
- Switching funds from one investment to another
These exercises carry a number of pitfalls and typically business managers would not be expected to be experienced in this area. Our clients value our help in a number of ways
- Finding suitable targets to acquire or merge with
- Preparing a sales prospectus and finding potential purchasers
- Being an intermediary to conduct negotiations, often for tactical reasons
- Recommending suitable advisors and playing a leading role
We are particularly skilled in the disposal for best value of insolvent businesses whilst still a going concern. The skills required are different from disposals in a normal context. Conventional corporate finance boutiques tend to be still "planning strategy" as the bailiffs arrive.
- Rapid business disposal
Selling a major business for book values of assets in difficult conditions within ten working days following a full marketing exercise is good by any reckoning. Teamwork with directors is key, as this case shows.
