Corporate Finance

Whether you are talking about a take-over, a merger, new finance or the selling off of an activity or part of the business, what it is all about is money, and often a great deal of money. This makes it important to have an advisor from Vandelanotte Corporate Finance at your side, discretely helping you to watch over the outcome of your deal. Maybe the deal of a lifetime.

Due diligence
Before you take the step of signing letters of intention, we can produce a concise preliminary "due diligence" report, providing you with initial information on the potential risks of a proposed takeover. Once the intention to purchase is confirmed we will follow up with a full due diligence investigation, with our specialised team putting every aspect of the prospective purchase under the microscope.

Legal advice & support
Sound legal agreements are a crucial aspect of a smooth takeover. Our Corporate Finance team are fully experienced and qualified to handle all aspects of a take-over. We will make sure that all the financial, social and fiscal aspects are clearly and correctly set out in the contract documents.

Post acquisition
Vandelanotte Corporate Finance will also assist you when the takeover is complete, so that the new acquisition is smoothly reoriented and integrated into your existing structure. We promise to deal swiftly and effectively with the risks identified within the company.

Reading your business
Proper preparation is essential when selling a business. Penetrating analyses of the financial figures, the operational procedures and the workforce are crucial both in fixing the eventual price and in determining the guarantees to be provided. We will ensure that the risk profile of your business is reduced as far as possible, and that you as the vendor are able to present a prospective purchaser with a properly supported statement of accounts.

Valuation
We take full account of your market position and strategy when calculating the asking price, so you can be sure of receiving fair and accurate recompense for the value of your business.

Securing credit
Growth and innovation are the lifeblood of your business, and sufficient affordable credit is of the essence here. Our Corporate Finance Team can prepare a persuasive dossier on your behalf, speeding the progress of the subsequent negotiations.

Vandelanotte Corporate Finance will be delighted to help you in working out a structured vision for the future and preparing a solid business plan, making it easier for you to persuade partners to pump fresh capital into the business.

+ Corporate Assistance +
Finance isn't the only important aspect of your business. The working atmosphere, the workflow and internal monitoring are also important foundations for growth.
