Acquisition and disposal

Sometimes the best way to improve your competitive position in the marketplace is through a merger or acquisition. However, not only can this be a complex and time-consuming process, if it is not well researched and skilfully negotiated you could make expensive mistakes.

This is definitely a situation where you need the support and assistance of trained professionals and where there is a distinct advantage in having accountants, lawyers and tax advisers working closely together.

We can assist you to:

• Identify commercial targets for merger and acquisition
• Screen targets for suitability
• Undertake due diligence
• Prepare a negotiation strategy
• Draw up the legal documentation
• Raise the necessary capital
• Develop an integration plan
• Optimise the tax and financial position of the combined enterprise

At other times you may decide to improve your profitability through a disposal. Again, we can assist with valuing the assets, finding suitable purchasers and negotiating the sale.
