Buying a Business

Growth through business purchases is a key factor for many businesses at some stage in their life. A number of benefits can be provided through a business purchase.

Having the ability to sell products and services to approved markets.
Increased profits due to merging overhead reductions.
Extra management and experienced labour force.
Increased geographic coverage.
Get rid of any competitors.

The right purchase at the right time will help to increase the income stream and also the value of the whole business. Although some businesses do not have the space to project manage a purchase from the first identification through to the completion without a single disruption to the heart of the business and a drain on management time.

At Sterling Capital Reserve the experienced Corporate Finance advisors will assist you with aspects of the business purchase, this would include;

Developing a purchase plan
Obtaining a company is an important decision that will have serious overtones for the future direction and the structure of your business. Attractive offers will present themselves from time to time but a successful company purchase cannot be made on buying impulsively.

You will have to make a clear selection plan and stick to it. You will have to thoroughly check each opportunity on a well defined, measurable criterion. When these are in place you can begin a properly focused search.

Identifying and seeking possible purchase targets
In some cases you might have found the target company (or they could have found you).
If not then the right purchase could be found through researching and targeting future buyers.

We have an in-house research facility that includes extensive databases. Contracts with accountants, business-sale agents and combined finance boutiques that constantly act for the purchasers.

Once possible targets have been found to match your selection plan, we will contact them for you by keeping you in the background at this stage gives the following benefits:

A professional and structured approach:

More chance of starting discussions with the targets.
Confidentiality is maintained by having a third party.
Gives you time to concentrate on your own business.
Cost effective. Most of our fees are based on success.

Negotiating with the vendors
When a business has been found, we will discus a deal with the vendors on your behalf.

Financing a deal
If a purchase cannot be financed from your own resources then we can arrange a suitable funding package for you. This is done through our in-house Commercial Finance Brokerage, which will help us to find more specialist sources of finance if needed.

Managing the legal process
We work with your solicitor to complete the deal. If the solicitor you have does not specialize in Corporate Finance we will find one for you that has a good track record in this field, with regard to the complexity of this deal.
