In the life of your business, there will be many monumental moments. A partner like Alliotts will help you capitalise on the high points, and help shield you from the lows.
From a small startup to a large multinational, having the right advice and business support is everything.
Our multi-disciplined team of accountants, tax advisors, financiers and consultants, specialise in providing hands-on advice to ambitious SMEs and the people who run them. Once a project team has committed to you, they stay by your side, providing a personal service from start to finish. With our specialist corporate financial services at your disposal, you will have expertise in abundance to help you navigate any of these areas:
- Corporate Finance Advisory – it is an alarming statistic that up to 90% of acquisitions are not entirely successful. That is why it is essential that you make sure your chosen advisors can negotiate the hurdles in your way and help you achieve success.
- Buying a business – we understand the common pitfalls of buying a business, so we strive to help you minimise your risk in any acquisition. We will guide you through the process, from identifying your target, to paying the right price for it when the time is right.
- Selling a business – most entrepreneurs only sell a business once, so it is important to have the best professional advice when you do. Alliotts provide a dedicated service to ensure that you are in the very best shape, to negotiate the very best deal.
- Company valuation – valuing a business is a specialist task that requires years of experience, sound judgement and specialist knowledge. Something that you will find within our team at Allliotts.
- Due diligence – this is the cornerstone of success when considering a business acquisition or financing a transaction. At Alliotts, our corporate due diligence services provide you with the peace of mind that you are buying the right business, at the right time, at the right price.
Our experienced team of advisors will work with you to minimise risks and ensure that you fully understand what the deal will look like from the beginning, through to post-completion. In addition to these services, we can also help you with:
- Raising finance
- Acquisition and disposal planning
- Shareholder agreements
- Succession planning
