Selling or buying a business

Selling or buying a business

Whilst selling or buying a business can be a great opportunity to realise or create value, corporate transactions such as mergers, acquisitions, MBOs/MBIs and disposals are all extremely complex and time consuming. Many business owners may only experience this type of transaction once in their lifetime, therefore being able to call upon the right experience is paramount to getting a deal that is tailored to your needs and aspirations.

Boasting one of the largest corporate finance teams in the region, UNW provides the support and advice to ensure any potential deal runs smoothly; from the initial stages, through to completion and beyond.

In addition to our lead advisory services, we also assist in the valuation and pricing of a business, undertake financial and operational due diligence, with our tax team ensuring any deal is structured tax efficiently.

OUR SUCCESS

I got the opportunity to buy Glebe Street Practice in 2014, and knew I wanted Alan Suggett and the team at UNW on board during the process. They undertook a forecast of the practice, ensuring the acquisition of this practice was feasible for me. After the purchase, I wanted the UNW dental team to become the practice accountant, and have found them to be extremely professional, knowledgeable and, most of all, very approachable.

Principal Dentist

Our initial concerns over switching from a big 4 firm to a local provider proved to be completely unfounded as the transition process was extremely smooth and efficient.

It’s good to be able to pick up the phone without the feeling that you’re instantly on the clock as with our previous auditors. It was nice to have an audit partner involved again.

Unika Innovation

We engaged the Strategic Talent team at UNW to identify an experienced Non-Executive Director who could help us implement a formal board structure and discipline as well as provide independent, objective oversight and support the development of our senior team. Having taken the time to truly understand our business and the dynamics of the key stakeholders, the team swiftly gave us a high-quality shortlist of candidates from which we were able to make a successful appointment to our board.

Beth Crosier

Finance Director - Bede Gaming Limited

We have always found that Lee Muter deals with any query we have in an extremely professional and timely manner. UNW always offer their expert advice and support with relation to our employment tax questions/queries and you feel a sense of comfort knowing that they will go out of their way to find the solution or offer alternate solutions.

It’s a pleasure to work with UNW.
