The Corporate Finance team at Bishop Fleming Rabjohns has the experience, expertise and energy to help you.
Advising on and raising suitable finance is one of our key strengths. We can help you find a finance team with whom you can work, help you get the funding, making sure the price and other banking arrangements are right for you.
We specialise in assisting SME business owners in their relationships with the High Street banking and finance industry. Frequently working with other professionals (mainly accountants and lawyers), supporting their clients in one-off areas, when specialist advice is needed.
Our very large network of bankers and banks (some main board UK bank directors), are mainly UK based, but the reach extends to USA, Australia and Europe.
Many SME business owners with whom we work have little understanding of how the banks assess their businesses or the financials they produce. They often feel frustration with their bankers and can resent not being able to deal with decision-makers. Neither do they have feel for the banks’ pricing models. Many excellent business leaders have no idea how to communicate with their bank – we help them do so; sometimes translating the bank’s language. Much of this work is led by partner David Cornelius whose banking experience and knowledge, combined with having spent the last 9 years in the world of accountancy, makes him ideally placed to assist; even in an economic downturn.
Ask for our help, or simply guidance in putting a business plan together.
If you're looking to acquire a business, we can help you identify suitable targets and then carry out due diligence (and always "know someone who can" when non financial issues arise). We can also help when you want to sell your a business. If you're selling, we have a specialist and successful way of identifying potential purchasers; then we help you negotiate and structure a deal - supporting you every step of the way.
All flavours of buy-outs and buy-ins are also an important part of our expertise. Of equal importance, after completion, we can help you make a success of your new business.
