To help you run or grow a business, we first need to understand it. We work closely with you to identify your short and long-term objectives. We take a commercially minded approach and give clear and practical guidance.

We also offer advice on major decisions and challenges, such as selling your business, mergers and acquisitions, attracting investors, resolving shareholder disputes and remuneration planning.

We can also assist with cashflow forecasts and budgeting.

Employees

Your employees are at the heart of your business. Remuneration planning is key to attracting, retaining and motivating your workforce. We can help you plan incentive and share option schemes so that your employees can get the most out of working for you.

We are experienced in relevant HMRC-approved schemes such as Enterprise Management Incentives (EMIs).

We also undertake business valuations in relation to the award of employee share incentives.

Investment and borrowing

Outside investors or lenders can provide an opportunity to help you grow your business. However, attracting investors or lenders can be difficult and depends on demonstrating a solid financial strategy. We provide clear and accurate financial projections that you can present to potential investors or lenders.

We are also experienced in government investment schemes, such as the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS), the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) to help raise money from investors.

Corporate restructuring

Corporate restructuring can be a positive if not complex period for a business. At such times, businesses require experienced and thoughtful advisers to advise on solutions as well as offer tax advice.

Whether you’re scaling for growth or acquiring another company, we take the time to understand your objectives so that we can help you achieve them.

Business sales, mergers and acquisitions

To successfully manage a sale, merger or acquisition, you need high-quality professional advice. We can assist with the accounting and financial aspects of the sale process, including input on sale and purchase agreements (SPAs).

Company valuations

Realistic and appropriate business valuations are important whether you are selling your business, attracting investors, negotiating shareholder exits, or dealing with personal issues such as divorce or inheritance.

Our valuation reviews are clear and straightforward so that all relevant information is easy to understand. We also look at the bigger picture so that we can notify you of the impact of any potential transaction on your tax obligations.
