Buying a business

Deciding to buy a business is a major decision and not one to be taken lightly. Any acquisition, whatever the size, will represent a major investment in time and resources, and before you decide to start the acquisition process you need to ascertain whether buying a business is right for you. We have helped many clients to acquire businesses so we are very aware of both the opportunities and the possible pitfalls – we’ll use this experience to make your deal run smoothly.

We can help with the whole acquisition process or just parts of it; whatever suits you best. We can help you to consider the many different issues including:

• deciding to buy;
• the acquisition process;
• finding and approaching suitable target businesses;
• project management and negotiation;
• valuing the business;
• financing the deal;
• identifying any key contractual terms;
• heads of terms;
• due diligence; and
• the final contract and beyond.
