Buying a business

Buying a business

Identifying potential acquisition targets, raising finance and project managing the purchase process.

There are a number of reasons why you may look to acquire another company: looking to increase your market share, spread your fixed costs, gain better control of your supply chain, diversify your activities or expand overseas. Acquiring another company can bring these benefits at a faster pace than organic expansion might otherwise allow.

Working closely with our clients, we are experienced at originating acquisition opportunities and providing support for both trade buyers, private equity investors (new platform and bolt on), family offices and private investors, in the UK and around the world.

We will initiate a confidential dialogue with your chosen targets at the appropriate level, provide our view of the target’s value, taking into account financial and commercial synergies, and recommend suitable structures and if appropriate, finance for the deal.

How we can help

  • The feasibility of the acquisition strategy is properly assessed
  • Potential targets are identified and investigated, whether in the UK or overseas
