Starting up a business or registering it in the UK can be daunting but we can help you to establish the business quickly and tax-efficiently. 

We use an incorporation agent and once we have established the details required, a company can usually be formed within 48 hours.  We are then able to assist with the related registrations for corporation tax and VAT.  We have helped many small businesses at the start up stage and are happy to pass on our experiences.

Once a business is established and running successfully, further growth through merger or acquisition may be considered as part of a long-term strategy.

As a firm of registered auditors we are often asked by clients to complete financial due diligence on potential targets. The scope of our engagement will vary according to your requirements. 

Our clients may be the target of an offer from another business and subject to a due diligence procedure themselves. We can assist by preparing information that might be relevant and in reviewing the financial considerations of sale and purchase agreements.

There are numerous ways to value a business and reasons for wanting a valuation. We are aware that not all can be valued easily since a business is worth as much as a buyer will pay or seller will accept.

In order to release value from a business, a management buy-in (MBI) or management buy-out (MBO) may be an option. Additionally, companies may wish to retain key members of staff or encourage staff participation in the profits of the company.
