Welcome to our annual deals review. It’s where we analyse trends in business transactions across the UK – as well as from our own corporate finance team.
As our region’s most active dealmaker, it’s important we track emerging trends, and the opportunities and challenges they can bring our clients.
Our deals review also provides an inside view of the sales process from Phill Harvey, former FD and member of the management team at Valeport. We advised on the sale of Valeport to Teledyne Technologies. Phill provides his tips and advice to others who may be thinking about selling their business.
It also features commentary on lots of hot topics, such as: driving value with data insights, raising finance, getting your business due diligence ready, essential pre-exit financial planning and many more.
