Corporate Finance

Helping you to act decisively, reduce execution risk, and create value.

Our joined-up and commercially focused team brings financial, tax and transaction services together under one roof.

Going beyond the numbers, each transaction is assessed in context, considering stakeholder impact, operational risk and deal structure. We combine senior judgement with data-driven analysis to highlight risks and opportunities with confidence. The result is advice that is commercial, clear and grounded.

Our services

Financial due diligence

Carrying out due diligence is a key part of the mergers and acquisition process. Using our extensive experience, we provide tailored reports to facilitate informed business decisions.

Transaction tax structuring

Structuring a deal in a tax-efficient manner can result in significant savings and reduce financial risk. We can advise you on the most appropriate tax structure to accommodate all stakeholders.

Tax due diligence

Tax due diligence is a crucial step in any transaction: it can uncover hidden tax risks and allow you to avoid costly future consequences. We can help you identify these risks early on, so you can plan for the future.

Sales and Purchase Agreements (SPA)

The SPA is a key document for any transaction. We are experts in advising on SPAs, alongside your legal advisors, to ensure what is commercially agreed upon is what ends up on paper.

Data analytics

The underlying data behind a business holds countless insights. We can leverage our expertise and software to draw additional understandings during the deal process and continue to support analysis and reporting post-acquisition.

ESG diligence

Our team provides practical guidance and pragmatic solutions to help you navigate evolving diligence and reporting requirements.

Hear from our clients

It was great to work with the Buzzacott team and their specialised ETA offering, headed by George again. They showed technical expertise and appreciated the nuances of this particular transaction to ensure an excellent outcome was achieved.

Dean Curran, Novastone searcher and incoming Garner Osborne CEO

Memoria is a transformational acquisition for our DBS Fund and we are hugely grateful for the support that Buzzacott provided to this transaction. Matt, Alex and the rest of the team were professional throughout the process and their dedicated and flexible approach allowed the transaction to complete under a tight timescale. We will certainly look to work with Buzzacott again on future transactions and would highly recommend their services to others.

James Penney, Chairman, Darwin Alternatives

Thanks for the amazing job you have done once again for us George, much appreciated.

Andy Bushell, Director, Foxtons

I’ve been really impressed by George on both Foxglove and Fuchsia. Super hard-working/responsive, very commercial and both sellers have independently commented on both his thoroughness but also his friendliness at the same time (i.e., he doesn’t let them off the hook, but they don’t mind because he’s a nice guy!). I was always planning on using somebody else for our third deal, but have decided to use you guys again based on the quality of work.

Dan Skyte, Rose Street

It was an absolute pleasure working with Buzzacott throughout the entire acquisition process. Their expert guidance and unwavering support proved to be invaluable at every stage, from the initial planning and due diligence to the complex financial and tax technical aspects of the deal. I would confidently recommend them to any acquirer looking for a dedicated team of professionals who consistently go above and beyond. I would like to give special recognition to James, whose exceptional skill and expertise were instrumental in bringing both sides of the transaction together. His comprehensive knowledge of the M&A process, coupled with his excellent negotiation skills, played a crucial role in ensuring a smooth and successful acquisition. Without James' guidance and support, the deal would not have been possible. Thank you, James, for your exceptional contribution to our success.
