In a challenging M&A market, our Corporate Finance team successfully completed two company sales in November, generating over £6.5m for existing shareholders. This brings our monthly deal total to 5 and our year-to-date total to over 30. Collaborating with our Tax Consulting and Accounts teams from the early stages of exit planning, we ensured a smoother sales process, surpassing shareholder expectations in both cases. Best wishes to the sellers in their future endeavours and the buyers in developing their newly acquired businesses. Special thanks to solicitors Clarke Wilmott (Kirill Bingham) and Squire Biggs (Richard Biggs) for their collaboration.

It is always a privilege to work with business owners during the exit phase of the business lifecycle, and even more so when we can help secure the legacy of the business and exceed price expectations. In both of these cases, early preparation for exit certainly helped delivery a successful outcome, and we are always keen to speak to business owners with exit planning in mind.

Neil Hutchings, Director

We first spoke with our client about exiting pre-covid! This was a great example showing the benefits of preparing for sale properly. By working with the shareholders well in advance of their planned exit, changes could be made to maximise the chance of successfully achieving their desired exit. It’s incredibly satisfying to see that preparation pay off and that we were able to achieve an exit over and above our clients’ goals.
