Disposals

Our experience lies in managing the sale (or part sale) of a business from initial preparation through to completion. Having established the right structure and valuation, we ensure that the widest possible range of purchasers is considered by accessing our extensive research database and network of contacts. Potential purchasers are discreetly approached with an outline of the merits of the business to assess likely interest.

With Evolution Corporate Finance taking the lead in negotiations, the desired outcome can be achieved and we are able to smooth the path for the lawyers acting for both sides to facilitate a timely completion.

Aspects such as personal and corporate tax issues can also be co-ordinated and managed by specialists within the Evolution LLP.

Acquisitions

We have extensive experience assisting growing companies seeking to expand through acquisition. Ranging from the complete management of a transaction, to simply identifying relevant targets and, if required, making a first level confidential approach to position the acquirer effectively for their own first hand negotiations.

Management buy – outs (MBO’s) and Management buy – ins (MBI’s)

Evolution Corporate Finance have assisted many management teams to acquire businesses they have worked hard to help build. Our advice will always start with an initial feasibility study, undertaken at little personal risk, to assess whether the opportunity is likely to succeed.

We ensure that all aspects of what can appear a complex and daunting process are managed in a way that is least intrusive to the daily routines of the soon to be owners of the business.

Fundraising

To support acquisition or growth strategies, fundraising by means of venture capital, debt funding or flotation will be a prime consideration. To secure the best form of funding, we can help you to develop the right strategic approach.

We have an extensive network of contacts – business angels, venture capitalists, bank and fund managers and many more that can help secure the funding you need to grow and succeed.

Due diligence

Before committing to an acquisition or investment you want to know that you have all the information to hand and that you can rely on this to be accurate – this is where Evolution can help.

We can provide you (and funders) with a due diligence service which will ensure that as a prospective acquirer you are able to make an informed judgement based on all the facts. We are able to react quickly and efficiently, working hard to ensure we provide the right amount of feedback to all parties when needed.

Business planning, strategic advice, forecasts and projections

We recognise that the process of developing a strategy, down to documenting the words and numbers that properly represent a plan, takes more than many business owners have personally available to them. By using our practical experience and wide ranging commercial know-how, we help you to formalise your plans and, critically, to realise them. We are able to look at your business objectively and strategically advising you on the best way forward both now and in the future. 

There are many other services the Evolution Corporate Finance team can provide you with – we can help with business growth and succession, exit planning, management consultancy, financial modelling and business valuations and much more.
