Business disposals advisory

Mike Grayer - Menzies Accountant

Mike Grayer – Corporate Finance Partner

Selling a business is complex, time-consuming and demanding of management time. In order to maximise value sellers need professional support at all stages of the transaction.

We can develop a detailed plan which examines your business, its performance, assets, intellectual property and brand strength. We can also identify, research and approach potential buyers on your behalf.

Choosing the right time to sell a business can be a tricky decision. Knowing when and how to start planning for this eventuality is an important consideration and can make all the difference in executing a successful exit, but how early should you start planning?


Business disposals – tax issues

In our experience, almost all commercial transactions that involve acquiring, divesting or restructuring assets have a significant tax implication. We work closely with our tax team to develop and structure efficient tax solutions, no matter how complex the deal.

Being primed for sale, whether to management or a third party, will ensure you realise the maximum value and reap the rewards you deserve for your lifetime of effort, as well as minimising your risks and liabilities post sale.

If you’re considering selling your business, why not take advantage of our pre-sale tax health check to ensure you achieve the optimum result?

Corporate Finance Advisory services – What makes Menzies different?

We are sensitive to the cultural, personal and emotional aspects of every corporate transaction, and combine this with an understanding of its wider strategic context, to deliver a successful outcome for our clients.

We take a real interest in your business and what you want to achieve. Our empathetic and dedicated team of corporate finance professionals will communicate effectively with all parties to the transaction to ensure that it remains on course.

We also believe that we should bear some of the risk in a transaction – contingent fee arrangements motivate our team to see transactions through to completion at an acceptable price.

We complete over 50 deals a year, most of them between £3 million and £75 million but comfortably handle transactions outside this range.
