Business valuations
We are experienced in advising on all aspects of business valuations, including the acquisition or disposal of minority shareholdings and the purchase by unquoted companies of their own shares. We also carry out valuations for tax and probate purposes.
Litigation support and forensic accounting
Commercial disputes inevitably occur from time to time and sometimes these may need to be dealt with via legal action. In these circumstances, the advice of accountants experienced in commercial disputes is essential.
For example, we can provide expert valuations of businesses and shareholdings when business partnerships come to an end. We can also advise on issues such as company insolvencies, contractual disputes, professional negligence claims and accounting treatment of losses and provide independent advice on financial aspects of such work, including consequential and business interruption claims and commercial litigation.
In legal disputes over money, we can use our forensic accounting skills to examine the financial issues and provide expert analysis suitable for presentation in court.
Raising finance
As chartered accountants in Stratford-upon-Avon and Warwickshire with extensive corporate finance expertise, we have developed a wide-ranging network of contacts with banks and other financial institutions.
These relationships mean that we are ideally placed in sourcing funding appropriate for our clients’ particular business circumstances.
We can prepare comprehensive business plans and forecasts to support funding applications and can also support clients in negotiations and structuring deals to optimise tax and other benefits.
