Corporate Simplification
Many groups have entities within their corporate structure, which are no longer required, for example, dormant companies or duplicate companies performing a similar function. Removing surplus entities can release capital, mitigate recurrent costs such as audit, accounting and tax compliance, and reduce wasted management time.
A transparent structure can also help manage business risk and improve corporate governance. Whatever the scale of your business, whether owner-managed or listed, national or international, we provide, commercial advice focused on achieving the most efficient, cost effective and risk-free structure.
Our team will help you address issues of complexity, whether by simply eliminating dormant companies that are no longer required or undertaking a strategic redesign of the group structure encompassing active and holding companies. We provide project management advice and support as well as technical advice to ensure your project is efficient and has sustainable benefits.
We can also advise you on how to efficiently exit a non-core business either on a standalone basis or followed by an appointment as liquidators. A carefully planned exit is critical to managing reputational and financial risk as well as maximising the return to investors.
When undertaking a transaction, corporate simplification can also help simplify sell side due diligence and maximise value in a divestment. Post-acquisition, the elimination of redundant holding companies, dormant entities and duplicated activities can help maximise the value of an acquisition.
