Strategic Corporate Finance

Strategic Corporate Finance are specialists in management buyouts, corporate business sales and corporate acquisitions.

We have an impressive track record of successfully completing transactions for our clients.

We have advised on over 85 completed transactions since 2000, when we were established.

Every member of our team is professionally qualified and individually has many years’ experience advising on transactions. We do not employ junior or unqualified staff, so every assignment we work on is staffed solely by highly qualified and experienced individuals throughout.

Recommendations

Most of our clients come from recommendations from accountancy firms, corporate lawyers and banks. Professionals who are familiar with the quality of our work introduce us in the knowledge that we will give their clients a high quality service.

Our approach

We believe our “hands on” approach is key to our success.

Typical clients

We typically work with owners of SME businesses with an annual turnover between £2 million and £50 million and with a track record of profitability.

We have completed transactions in a variety of sectors, including engineering, healthcare, consumer products, retail, business services, construction and consultancy.

What makes our approach different?

1. At Strategic Corporate Finance, all members of our team are highly qualified professionals, each with many years’ experience in corporate transactions. We do not employ junior or administrative staff.
2. Our approach recognises that each management buyout is unique – we tailor the service we provide accordingly.
3. We have strong contacts with funders throughout the UK and know where to access the right types of funding.
4. We are a small firm and every client matters to us – we provide a high level of personal service and take great pride in getting results.
5. We are with you every step of the way, from the initial assessment of feasibility to completion meeting. A management buyout is often a long and stressful process – we provide advice and support throughout.
6. We also advise on company disposals. This gives us a depth of understanding and enables us to see things from the vendors’ perspective.
7. Our fee structure is transparent and fair – there are no hidden charges.
8. Persistence – raising the finance can sometimes take much longer than expected and we don’t give up.
9. We work collaboratively with clients’ accountants, tax advisers and solicitors throughout the process.

Area we cover

We work with clients across most of England.
