Our Services Business Mergers & Acquisitions

Ensuring The right approach

Buying a business rather than acquiring the shares may seem more attractive to a buyer because the buyer can select which of the assets are attractive and which of the seller’s liabilities it is prepared to take on.   Conversely, most sellers prefer to sell shares due to the tax benefits.  

As many companies struggle to maintain profit margins, whether due to regulatory requirements or the after-effects of COVID19, economies of scale can attract mergers with like-minded organisations and it is essential for participating parties to obtain early advice to achieve maximum outcomes.
