Corporate Finance - Lead Advisory trigger points
“I’m thinking about the next steps” –potentially in need of a review of different options for the future.
“How do I value my business?” –could be for the purpose of sale, or other events such as relationship breakdown.
“I need to plan for retirement” – this could be a sale, passing down to family members or other options such as MBO.
“How does an MBO work?” –understand the reasons for the question and then refer to Lead Advisory for more detailed discussions.
“What is an EOT?” – understand the reasons for the question and then refer to Lead Advisory for more detailed discussions.

“We’ve had an approach” – might need to understand whether the offer is a reasonable one, and whether it would be worth going out to market for other offers.
“What do you think about the market?” – general conversations with lead advisory partners/directors can often lead to further work or useful introductions.
“I’ve just seen a similar business acquired” – clients who may not have previously considered their exit plan might do so based on word of mouth. Being able to offer advice at an early stage can make a big difference to the price they might get on exit.
“How do I sell my business?” – the Lead Advisory team would be able to provide useful, often sectorspecific information about different options for the client that they would not necessarily get from a high street accountant.
