Buying a business
When buying a business, there are many factors to consider and that’s why appointing the right business financial adviser that can advise and support you along the whole journey is imperative.
Jerroms Corporate Finance has extensive experience across a diverse range of sectors in ensuring all the necessary steps to successfully buying a business are undertaken. We can assist in helping identify potential acquisition targets, performing due diligence on proposed targets, valuing the proposed benefits of the acquisition, raising acquisition funding and negotiating the terms and closing the deal.
If you are an owner management team, a corporate entity or an investor considering the acquisition of a company or you are a private or institutional investor considering a minority investment into a business, then you want to get the valuation right and you may well want to optimise the tax structure of your investment. Like many corporate finance transactions, you may only get one opportunity to get the structure of the deal right.

Having left a multinational company in mid-2023, I started my own business providing consultancy services. Having worked with Jerroms previously I asked their advice on my new venture, and we have continued working together. Although only a relatively small business, they were proactive in helping me to ensure the company was structured efficiently, all regulatory matters were dealt with completed and also a tax efficient structure for both the company and me was put into place. If I ever have any queries or concerns, I know that I can contact Jerroms, and they will provide me with a prompt and constructive response. They also have a strong local network of professional contacts who they can refer me to, if required.
