A public announcement of a business for sale or a transfer in ownership will attract buyers. To avoid the uncertainty and problems with suppliers not renewing contracts, customers looking for alternative suppliers and staff fearing their future employment, RSM Tenon will facilitate your sale or transfer and advise you on how best to approach situations as they arise.
Our advisers will provide advice and manage your transaction through to deal completion. We will:
- Prepare an Information Memorandum
- Prepare a list of prospective purchasers
- Contact the potential purchasers and arrange letters of confidentiality
- Organise meetings with prospective purchasers
- Review and advise upon the relative merits of any indicative offers from prospective purchasers
- Agree heads of terms with a preferred offeror
- Project-manage the transfer of ownership through to completion
Prior to agreeing a transaction the impact of taxation and pension liabilities on the structure of any sale or business transfer needs to be carefully considered. Our tax and financial management advisers will work with you to determine the most efficient structure from a tax and pension perspective to meet your objectives.
We can also help you to develop a strategy for capital transfer and, where appropriate, link this with leadership transition. This will ensure the new owner does not have to operate in conditions of unreasonable financial pressure.
