PLC

As a PLC you are likely to have an army of expensive corporate finance advisors knocking at your door to advise you on takeovers, mergers and share buybacks.

What you may not have is a cost effective corporate finance team who are experts in buying and selling businesses with turnovers in the sub £20m category.

You will be aware of all the acquisition targets who are already PLC’s or businesses being touted by their private equity partners. Often the more interesting businesses are those private businesses that have grown without publicity and detailed public accounts which now occupy niche areas with limited competition.

Many of these businesses have reached the capacity and appetite of their management teams and would benefit from the resources of a larger organisation. However, they can be very difficult to identify and engage with.

We conduct targeted acquistion searches using information tools and our network of advisors and management teams who are active in this sector.

Alternatively you may have a non-core division or subsidiary that you wish to divest either to management or to third parties.
