What our clients say:
“From the day we decided to sell our company through to completion of the sale, the team at CLB Coopers fully supported both the process and ourselves.  We cannot speak too highly of their patience, perseverance and professionalism. From the initial discussions, the collection of data and producing the initial sales Information Memorandum, through to the negotiation of price, the selection of a buyer, due diligence and completion, the expertise of the team made it happen.”

CLB Coopers works with businesses of various types at different stages of their life-cycle, providing a fully integrated service, in a supportive environment. We are well versed in preparing businesses for sale and have extensive experience when it comes to finding exciting acquisition opportunities for our clients.  Additionally our specialist teams can fully manage the process of management buy-outs/buy-ins, including sourcing legal and financial support.

Our integrated approach starts with a review of client objectives and strategy.  We then work collaboratively to research and explore the options available and, following the identification of the next step for our clients, we then manage the project through to completion.

Many of our clients achieve tremendous and sustainable growth through the acquisition of businesses. We adopt a hands-on approach when helping clients to find businesses that match their strategic objectives and manage the process fully from identification of the target, negotiation on your behalf and carrying out the due diligence before completion.

Realising the highest possible value for the business you are selling is our priority.  We also recognise that making the sale process as smooth and simple as possible will be a priority for you. A potential purchaser will want to dissect every aspect of a business that they are considering buying, so we ensure that we identify and assess not only the attractive components of a business but also the possible pitfalls, so that they can be addressed.

Throughout both the acquisition and disposal of businesses, CLB Coopers carefully investigates the tax implications of the activity and agree how to minimise clients’ tax exposure whilst maximising the return.
