Corporate Finance Testimonials
"David Cornelius was introduced to me in 2007 by a mutual friend, a partner in a firm of solicitors based in Worcester.
I had approached my solicitor friend in the context of proposals by my bank to re-arrange my accounts, consolidate my overdraft into a loan, and take further security. I considered that I needed expert advice on the reasonableness of the bank's attitude, whether the terms could be improved, and on how to negotiate the best outcome.
David, who was for some years himself a bank manager, dealt with this slightly unusual assignment in a very professional and satisfactory way. He mastered the financial details and quickly established a rapport with the bank personnel involved, and was able to secure terms which were a massive improvement on those originally on the table. As a result I have been able to go forward with my practice in the confidence that I have a secure and sustainable financial platform.
David's charges were extremely fair. I have no hesitation in recommending him as an accountant who is very skilful in dealing with banks on behalf of professionals, particularly the self-employed."

"We were delighted with the help provided by Rabjohns. As an experienced plc director, I know we received a first class service during the Management Buy Out and will continue to use them."
John Kembery, Chairman of Eadie Industries Ltd, a £12.7 million turnover company bought by management from Eadie Holdings Plc in a £3.4 million deal. Rabjohns provided the taxation advice and "Whitewash" report as part of the Corporate Finance Team.
"Eversheds worked closely with Rabjohns (and in particular the Managing Partner, Ian Smith) acting for the Vendors of M&M Sports Limited to a management team backed by ECI Ventures.
The working relationship between Eversheds and Rabjohns was excellent and Rabjohns made a positive contribution to the sale process and kept up the pace with two of the big four accountants who were providing corporate finance advice to parties involved in the deal in terms of both technical advice from its specialists and commercial nous.
Rabjohns had been the personal financial advisers to the Vendors for several years, advising on business strategy, and were instrumental in selecting the other advisers to the Vendors and overall played a very important strategic role in the sale process".

"Having historically dealt mainly with the big four accountancy firms, Rabjohns has been a refreshing and encouraging change for me! It was great to find out that you do not have to be a multinational to get very good quality people working for you on a business acquisition, no matter what the size. The team at Rabjohns helped my husband and I buy our business by making sure we had all the bases covered, as well as basic due diligence work it also included mediation when things got tough and using network influences in the banking world.
All of this meant we had a good and workable package and then a successful deal!! Throughout the process the acquisition team worked closely alongside the tax team most effectively and they don't forget you when the deal is done...."
