Our Corporate Finance Services
Business Valuations
There are many reasons why business owners wish to acquire an accurate valuation of their business. SMH Group provide a full bespoke business valuation service for our clients.
Buying a Business
We are able to advise on all financial aspects of the deal and the raising of any required finance. It is vitally important to plan ahead and we can assist with business planning, financial forecasts and financial due diligence.
Case Studies
Our corporate finance services team is led by our experienced Chartered Accountants. See examples of transactions they have been involved in.
Due Diligence
Due diligence, or ‘transaction services’ refers to the investigation of the financial affairs of a business prior to acquiring it or otherwise committing funds.
Financial Forecasting
Providers of finance may require that applicants produce a detailed forecast of trading profits, cash flows and balances for forthcoming periods, often three years.
Grant Funding
Grant support is available for many businesses and in many geographical areas. The volume of support can be bewildering and the documentation often complex.
Selling a Business
We understand that our clients achieve greater reward through a structured, well planned exit, rather than a reactive sale.
Strategic Planning
At Sutton McGrath Hartley we can help our clients ensure their business decisions take both short term and long term considerations in mind. Short term planning is often described as ‘management by crisis’, which is a little unfair to many businesses, which continue profitably with little consideration for the future.
Transaction Tax Planning
SMH Group are experienced providers of advice on the tax aspects of all corporate finance matters, such as for acquisition or disposal of a business.
