Companies can be bought and sold for a variety of drivers. At PFG we have clients that have focused on a single acquisition, made for strategic or opportunistic reasons. Conversely, others embark on “buy and build” strategies in specific key markets with the intention of developing a larger trading group or company investment portfolio.
Frequently, we work with management teams to raise debt finance in support of a management buy out of current owners. Funding management buy-ins where a new owner is coming into a business are also situations for which we can arrange finance. The structures utilised to facilitate these can vary but now extend to include Employee Owned Trusts.
Regardless of the circumstances and commercial rationale, PFG can work with clients and their advisers from the very start of the process from the initial offer stage right through to completion. Through our extensive network, we also have a track record of identifying acquisition targets and referring these to our clients (see case studies).
