In today's economic environment, a business must determine its core competencies and build on them. A company can grow through natural expansion, merging with another business or by acquisition. Similarly, it may decide to divest itself of an area of business which is not directly related to its core competencies or sell out of the business altogether. In any of these events, Kreston Dormers can provide independent, sound commercial advice to ensure you achieve positive results.

Acquisitions

We can perform an independent valuation of a proposed acquisition. Kreston Dormers can also carry out a full or part audit on the books and records of the business to validate the accuracy of the information supplied, together with advice regarding other matters surrounding the purchase.

Mergers

This is a complex area as it involves many key issues including determination of the relative value of the business and numerous other factors that need to be considered in order to complete the transaction. Kreston Dormers can provide assistance and advice in addressing all key issues from accounting, taxation and business perspectives.

Sales

We can value your business to help you determine the asking price and assist in the structure of the sales agreement to minimise Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax. We can also assist in relation to the advertising, negotiation and total sales process.

Restructuring

Restructuring can be required for several reasons, such as separating assets into different entities, issuing shares to a new investor or to providing a solution to financial difficulties. Kreston Dormers can provide advice and support in relation to these and other areas.
