Buying, selling or merging a business (M&A)

Use us to help you identify suitable targets, consider valuations, carry out due diligence and negotiate with strength when the time comes.

Looking to sell your business?

In order to plan your exit route, you should explore your options and consider which of the below is best suited to you:

Trade sale

The sale to a competitor or private equity house, which has the potential to provide longer-term stability for your business and will offer you the highest exit value.

Management buy outs (MBOs)

The purchase of your shares by either other existing shareholders or new management. 

Employee ownership

The transfer of the ownership of your business to a trust, which holds the shares on behalf of your employees.
