CORPORATE FINANCE

Specialist Expertise

If you’re considering an important business transaction, a sale or acquisition perhaps, you’ll need professional help from someone who ‘knows the ropes’.  Not every qualified accountant (or firm of accountants) has the necessary expertise and contacts to guide you through a corporate deal and bring it to a successful conclusion.

Fortunately, Dean Statham in Stafford has just such an expert on the team, a fully qualified Corporate Finance Partner with a strong track-record of supporting business owners/managers through the entire corporate deal process, day in day out.

And, as members of the UK200 Corporate Finance panel and the ICAEW Corporate Finance faculty our staff are kept fully up to date of any trends or changes relevant to our clients.

With our input, you’re assured of a successful outcome.

Our Corporate Deal Services include:

Selling a business

The sale of a business is often the culmination of a lifetime’s work.  More often than not it will be a once-in-a-lifetime transaction.  It follows that you have only one opportunity to get it right. 

A professionally controlled sale is often the best way to realise the value of a business.

We are able to offer owners (vendors) a wealth of professional support that permits them to continue to run the business successfully until the sale is completed.

Buying a business

A carefully selected acquisition can accelerate the delivery of a business owner’s growth strategy or help them to achieve their personal ambitions.

Dean Statham is in a position to assist from the outset, perhaps by scrutinising and eliminating unsuitable candidates or effecting introductions to potential new targets.

In fact, we can advise throughout the entire acquisition process.

Once the transaction is completed, we can give further expert support with the integration process, optimising planned synergies and ensuring that anticipated cost savings are realised.

Manager Buy-Outs/Buy-Ins

Most owners wish to realise the value of their business at some stage.

Selling the enterprise to the incumbent management (MBO) can achieve this in a controlled and confidential manger and rewards loyal managers for their hard work over the years.

Disposal of the business to new management (MBI) is another popular way of selling it with minimum disruption to the business.

We can assist either vendors or acquirers in the conduct of negotiations and prepare or assess business plans and financial projections for the various parties who will rely upon them.

Dean Statham Corporate Finance is also able to assist buyers in raising finance and will give support right through the process to completion.

Raising Finance/Financial Restructuring

Successful businesses may still need money to fuel further growth, push to new heights or realise shareholder value.  There are a variety of funding sources available to suit these various needs.

Whatever your requirements, it will usually be necessary to prepare financial projections and a business plan tailored to the appropriate audience.

We can bring our considerable experience and expertise to this task and ensure that the right source of finance is secured for your business.
In addition, we have very well established connections with the other local professionals you'll need to guide you through the legal and procedural maze that leads to a successful completion.
