Acquisitions and Disposals

The business environment is becoming more and more competitive with the introduction of new entrants into the marketplace, businesses growing organically and some expanding through mergers and acquisitions. Acquiring a business can be a complex process that requires careful research, planning, raising the necessary capital, reviewing your financial position, the taxation implications and ultimately the integration process.

On the other hand you may be in a position where the only method of improving profitability and injecting capital is to dispose of certain parts of the business. This can also be a complex process requiring careful planning, valuing the assets, finding purchasers, negotiating the sale, reviewing your financial position and taking into account any taxation implications.

We have assisted clients through the process of acquisition and disposals and in some cases recommended one of these processes during a strategic review of the business.
