We have considerable experience of advising on the buying and selling of businesses and projects. This includes not just the sale of a whole business but also the disposal of a division or subsidiary, or the retirement of a partner or shareholder in lines with the IBC regulations.

Larger groups of companies may need to undergo a reconstruction prior to a sale, and the reconstruction is likely to need an advance clearance from various regulatory bodies.

We will help you negotiate and agree all terms, including the:

• price

• nature of undertakings and guarantees, and

• form and timing of the consideration.

• It is often advantageous for each party to consider the tax position of the other, since any savings to the other party can be reflected in the price.

• For those buying businesses we can carry out due diligence for tax purposes on the proposed purchase, to ensure that no previously unforeseen liabilities come to light after the acquisition.

We specialize in handling complicated purchase and sale issues. Our clients appreciate our hands-on approach and our ability to drive the transaction, if required.

Our team have an excellent network of contacts in the funding industry and may be able to make an introduction that helps you secure the funding needed for your transaction.
