Corporate finance
Whatever transaction your business is considering, corporate finance experts from Grant Thornton are ready to help make it successful. We offer specialist advice to management and shareholders on a number of issues including targeting, M&As, due diligence, incentive schemes, management buy-outs or buy-ins, flotations, company valuations, as well as patent and brand valuation.
Lead Advisory
Careful planning is needed to achieve a successful outcome to any business restructuring, whether it is an acquisition, merger, disposal or a change of ownership. This includes:
- strategic advice
- raising finance
- corporate valuations
- cross-border capital-raising exercises
Transaction Support
Inevitably, most growing businesses will have to consider a cross-border transaction such as setting up a branch outside a home market or acquiring an overseas competitor. Our aim is to enable owners and managers to make such investments with confidence by supporting and advising at every stage. We will help reduce the risk – and stress – of investing in another country.
Due diligence and commercial report
If you have a prospective deal already lined up, we will check to ensure that the transaction is right for you. We will perform a due diligence exercise on an acquisition target, producing a commercial report that analyses every aspect of a target's business, such as its historic and potential financial performance, the sustainability of its markets, the strength of competition, and the competence of its management.
