On occasion, businesses need to raise finance for a number of reasons, perhaps to fund an acquisition or investment in assets to help your business grow.

We have excellent relationships with finance providers, such as the high street banks, finance houses, and other providers and understand what is required to get your application accepted in the current climate.

Restructuring
Restructuring a business during its life can mean many things – from a change in the way business is conducted, to the relationship between the individuals running the business, or to the entity through which the trade is conducted.

When such changes need to happen, we bring the knowledge gained from long experience to bear to make sure that, in full understanding of your strategic objectives, your business is restructured to achieve the optimum commercial and taxation outcome.

Whether the trade is carried on through a Limited Company, Limited Liability Partnership, Partnership or sole trader; we are also able to advise on whether that entity is still appropriate.

Limited Companies are taxed under the rules relating to Corporation Tax, whilst sole traders, partnerships (including Limited Liability Partnerships) and individuals are taxed under Income Tax.

Our tax team have considerable experience in dealing with all aspects of Corporation Tax and understand the interaction with other taxes, such as Capital Gains Tax and Inheritance Tax, whether this be tax planning for the large complex group to profit extraction and the passing on of the business.

We are well versed in dealing with both un-incorporated businesses and Limited Liability Partnerships and looking at the tax planning opportunities that these may offer, from incorporation to the introduction of partners.

Business Acquisitions and Disposals

Our considerable experience in dealing with transactions of all types and sizes will enable us to guide you from initial contact through negotiations through to completion of the transaction. We will also ensure that you are fully aware of the tax consequences of the transaction and advise on structuring to obtain the maximum possible tax advantage.
