Selling a business

Your route to exit

Planning an exit? Tax is not the only thing to consider to achieve the best commercial outcome and value. Our business lifecycle route to exit highlights the commercial, financial and tax matters you’ll need to work through as you plan an exit transaction.

A successful exit strategy also requires a well-planned sell-side process. Our sell-side advisory services specialists can guide your business through the crucial stages, from portfolio strategy to deal execution.

Buying a business

Acquisition strategies

Every business is different, so solutions must be tailored to your business. As part of our buy-side advisory services, we can advise you on appropriate, tax-efficient structuring strategies to meet your commercial objectives.

Due diligence

As experts in assessing tax filing positions and the tax treatments adopted by your target business, we will apply sector and technical insight to identify tax governance risks, exposures and opportunities.

Private equity

As expert advisers to private equity investors , we specialise in structuring investments and securing funding for portfolio companies. Our specialists can strategically optimise the portfolio’s tax position throughout its lifecycle to ensure it meets its tax compliance obligations and that it remains exit-ready from a tax perspective.

Re-orgs & reconstructions

Reorganising your business may be the best way to meet your commercial goals. We can advise on the most tax-efficient way to carry out the reorganisation.

We can help you:

create pragmatic, commercial solutions to prepare a non-core business for sale;
simplify your corporate structure; and
restructure debt as part of a turnaround strategy.

If your business is facing challenging circumstances, our restructuring advisory services team will focus on stabilising your business for recovery.
