Our experience covers the full range of transactions, including:
Accounting, audit, tax advisory, pension and other financial services are provided in house through DPC Accountants, ensuring that the relevant experts are on hand to provide detailed guidance on related issues, e.g. tax planning when restructuring.
A management team needs an advisor they can develop a strong relationship with, an advisor who grasps their vision of their business and can confidently help them to deliver it. We will consider:
- The right valuation, structure and financial controls for the business
- The deal structure and funding requirements, potential financial backers
- The tax implications of the transaction
- The exit route for the outgoing owners
A successful MBI requires a driven leader, who is willing to risk personal capital, and a business advisor who can assess the viability of the transaction, and negotiate it to a successful conclusion. We will consider:
- The business plan
- Sources of finance
We can help you to get the right business at the right price to meet your company's strategic growth objectives. We will consider:
- Market conditions, room for organic growth?
- Do you have a target in mind? Do you need us to identify one?
- Do you need to buy a company outright, or would part of a company, or its trade and assets suffice?
- What are the tax implications of the transaction?
We can help you to realise the full value of your business, at the best terms, within the desired timeframe. We will consider:
- Is your business ready for sale? Could its potential value be improved by grooming the business?
- Succession planning, will the business survive without you?
- Do you wish to sell all or part of the business?
- Have you considered the tax implications for you and the vendor?
We will report to you on the issues that matter, so that investment decisions are made on a fully informed basis. We will tailor our analysis to the key strategic issues that materially affect the transaction. We will consider:
- Strategic fit - ability of the target to deliver strategic objectives
- Financial - underlying historical trends, reasonableness of forecasts and projections
- Controls - the effectiveness of the financial control system
- IT - potential integration issues
- HR - people issues, pre and post acquisition
- Integration
A successful valuation is independent and objective. In producing a fair and considered valuation we will consider:
- Financial performance
- The legal structure of the company
- Competitor activity
- Industry changes
- Economic variables
