Our services

MHA are experts in advising clients at every stage of a deal, right through to completion. Our sector-based approach means our clients get the inside track.

Business Acquisition

An acquisition can accelerate growth and offer opportunities to: capture market share, enhance or diversify product offering, enter new geographies, and realise cost-synergies which improve profitability of the combined entity.

Business Valuations

Whether you are approaching the sale of your business with an extended timeframe in mind, or you have received an unsolicited offer but are unsure what to do next, we are expertly placed to help you maximise shareholder value.

Selling your business

Whether you are approaching the sale of your business with an extended timeframe in mind, or you have received an unsolicited offer but are unsure what to do next, we are expertly placed to help you maximise shareholder value.

Employee Ownership Trusts (EOTs)

EOTs offer noteworthy tax incentives to sellers, and the opportunity to safeguard a company’s culture. We are able to provide extensive guidance on the valuation, financial and tax structuring, as well as coordination of legal workstreams required to implement an EOT.

Management Buyouts (MBO)

We assist with reaching a valuation and deal structure that works for all parties so that it is deemed as fair and equitable for both the shareholders and the management team. We have significant experience and expertise of delivering MBO’s utilising our extensive funder network and relationships.

Transaction services

Acquiring or investing in companies always involves information asymmetry risk. Our team prides itself on offering clear and frank advice to our clients at a time when they need it most.
