Guiding you through every stage of the sale
Selling your business is a big decision to make, particularly if you are an owner-manager, sole trader or partnership who has invested blood, sweat and tears as well as finances into building your business from the ground up.
The decision to prepare your business for sale can arise for a variety of reasons. These may include your own hard-earned retirement, the next generation of your family choosing to pursue a different career path, an opportunity to realise your investment as the business owner, or you may choose to dispose of part of your business though sale of a non-core division or subsidiary.
However, even when the decision has been made, the process of selling your business can be extremely demanding. We can take away much of the pressure of preparing your business for sale to ensure that you are able to concentrate on running your business.
Our corporate finance team will support you through the financial, taxation and commercial aspects of selling your business, through to completion stage, ensuring that the transaction is properly planned and executed efficiently and confidentially.

- preparing a detailed Sale Memorandum combining history, financial, commercial and qualitative information on your business
