Our Corporate Finance Service

Here are some of the benefits of using our Corporate Finance services

In-house specialists

As part of a multi-disciplinary advisory firm, we also work closely with other in-house specialists and, in particular, with our tax team on tax planning and effective structuring for each transaction. Transactions tend to have complex tax implications, so a joined up approach is imperative.

Long-term vision

Hawsons is a long established firm of chartered accountants who believe in building long-term relationships and providing advice beyond the deal. If you’re buying a business, we will work with you to grow that business and ultimately, help with your succession or disposal plans.

Our deal history

The region has performed well during recent years and we are optimistic about the prospect of continued growth and increasing business activity. There has been a sustained upsurge in business confidence which is fuelling the desire of companies to press ahead with their plans for corporate acquisitions and disposals.

We have witnessed first-hand a continued rise in transaction activity giving further evidence of increased confidence among business owners and an increased appetite for corporate acquisitions, disposals and management buyouts.

Over the past 12 months we have worked on assignments for companies across the UK and with international clients. We have demonstrated our expertise in advising clients in buying and selling businesses, raising finance, carrying out financial due diligence and dealing with complex tax matters arising on transactions.
