Our team understands that the domestic and global business landscape is more unpredictable, dynamic and challenging than ever. We are passionate about supporting our clients to achieve their ambitions – whatever uncertainties they may face.

We work in collaborative partnerships with our clients, who range from entrepreneurially or family-owned businesses and SMEs to multi-national listed companies, which has helped us build up a wealth of experience and vast knowledge of many sectors and different types of deals and transactions.

From raising finance, identifying and carrying out acquisitions through to preparing businesses for sale and managing the process, we partner with our clients every step of the way.

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.
