Corporate finance:
Buying a business
Every deal is different. Even if you have bought businesses before (and especially if you have not), you will encounter the unexpected. That is where Cassons’ wealth of experience comes in.
What is the business worth? We can value it for you. Will there be any nasty surprises? The due diligence we carry out should prevent that. How should the deal be structured? We know all the angles. Do you need to raise finance? There will be many possible solutions; we’ve done them all before. Negotiating the deal is a particular strength.
Tax is a thread that runs throughout the deal. If the deal is suitably structured, you may be able to get tax relief on most or all of the purchase price. Of course, the structure should also suit your personal tax planning, especially long term capital gains tax and inheritance tax planning. Perhaps you need to offer the management of the new business tax-efficient remuneration and incentive packages. Tax planning is second nature to our corporate finance experts.
And when you have done the deal, what next? That is when the challenge really begins. Cassons will be there to help you with your business plans; to guide you along the way as you implement them; and to take pleasure and pride in your success.
