All our freelance Finance Directors are qualified and have had many years of commercial experience in business working alongside MDs, chief executives and Chairmen.
Mergers, acquisition and disposals
Market forces can dictate the strategy that a business needs to implement to merge, buy or sell. Whether entering a new market, consolidating, investing surplus profits or looking to sell, Gee Coopers can help. Acting as a liaison between parties, when required, we can manage the whole negotiation process from the initial approach through to the completion of the transaction.
Corporate finance
We never underestimate the magnitude of the decision to re-invest in a business, which is why we assign our specialist department to each individual case. Gee Coopers has long-standing relationships with a network of lending institutions. Before introducing you to the most suitable one we can help prepare business plans, which will help secure finance on the best terms. If required, we will negotiate on your behalf, cutting through the seemingly endless red tape to reach a best possible solution.
Business valuations
An expert accountant can be vital in valuing a private company. This is never possible without a clear appreciation of the business, the industry and the issues driving the valuation. Having undertaken independent valuations for many private companies, shareholders, government agencies, lawyers and investors, we have extensive skill and experience in this thorny area. Whatever the commercial, litigious or tax motivations behind the valuation, we will provide you with a full valuation report supported by impartial and in-depth advice.
Corporate recovery
At Gee Coopers Associates we operate on the basis that prevention is the best cure. Insolvency and liquidation are very much the last resort, a dramatic and final turn of events is not the inevitable outcome for all ailing businesses.
In the majority of cases where a struggling business is saved, time has been a crucial factor. The sooner problems are identified and addressed, the sooner the appropriate financial and management resources can be installed to achieve a turnaround. If you think that there may be a problem, there probably is.
We at Gee Coopers have a track record of providing constructive and practical advice. Banks are prepared to go the extra mile if they can see that the company and its professional advisors have put forward a carefully considered and realistic plan to ensure the business survival. All our initial meetings are held in confidence and are free of charge to you and your client.
In the unfortunate circumstances where the company cannot be saved, Gee Coopers Associates is able to call a meeting of creditors to place the company into creditors voluntary liquidation or administration or agree a voluntary arrangement to achieve the best possible solution.
