Business Valuation.

Understanding your company’s value is central to most Corporate Finance transactions. Our specialists recognise the importance of this process and provide both commercial and fiscal valuations to support negotiations with HMRC.

Due Diligence.

Whenever considering an acquisition or merger, it’s vital to understand exactly what you’re getting into, look for any hidden liabilities and get a clear picture of all the risks and opportunities.

Employee Ownership Trusts.

Unlock generous tax benefits and secure your business’s future by selling it to your employees.

Forensic Accounting.

A Single Joint Witness is an expert instructed to prepare a report for the court on behalf of two or more of the parties (including the claimant) to the proceedings.

International Market Development.

Whatever your aims for the development of your business into overseas territories, we have the knowledge and expertise to help you achieve them.

Management Buyout (MBO).

Whether buying-out an owner or buying-in to secure a greater stake in the future of a business, you’ll need to know you’re in control.

Mergers & Acquisitions.

Setting on financial needs when you’ve determined that acquiring or merging with another firm is the best way for your business to grow.

Raising Finance.

Whether you’re looking to raise funds for business investment, expansion, working capital, or a capital transaction, we can help you determine the level of finance required and assess your potential return on investment.

Sell Your Business.

Getting the right advice will be critical to success when looking at how you can both profit from the business you’ve built and ensure its longevity.

US GAAP Reporting For Universities.

With increasing numbers of US students completing or supplementing their higher education in the UK, there are implications for how universities report their annual accounts.

Providing you with the means for change

Our Corporate Finance team are on hand to help at all stages of your business journey, from when you’re growing your team, offering and customer base to expanding into new markets, creating greater capacity, changing ownership, restructuring your organisation, selling the business or otherwise consolidating your position to generate greater market share.

No two businesses or sets of circumstances are exactly the same, so we typically build teams to suit each unique project, combining skills from our complementary specialists in all financial fields who can work collaboratively to deliver all of your advisory needs. This will result in a far more efficient process than if you had needed to speak to several separate advisers for auditing, risk assessments, accounts, tax advice and more.

When entering new markets, we can help to make sure you have the finance to fund your outreach, marketing, distribution, new staff and more with confidence with our Acquisition Watch service. Or when you undertake a financial restructuring and reorganisation, we can make sure you have a complete overarching picture so that all aspects of your business work perfectly together.

Enabling businesses to transform and surge forward.

With us, it’s never just about the transaction. It’s about the future of your business, your partners and your employees. We can help you find the means to take control of events and reshape your interests for success.

With offices in Bury St Edmunds, Colchester, Ipswich and Norwich we not only help clients across the whole of the East of England, but also across the country. We have the connections and capability to operate nationally and, through the Global leverage offered via the GGI network, internationally.

No matter your field of expertise or need for finance, chances are we have previous experience with very similar situations and can offer you valuable insights on how things might have played out before. Call us to find out all your options.
