Why 2018 is the time to seek exit strategy advice...
| 2016 was a record breaking year for us during which our peers recognised us with the awards of The Deal of the Year and Deal Maker of the Year as a testament to our success, expertise and quality of service.
We knew 2017 was going to be more successful due to our level of pipeline business but we did not realise just how good it was going to be and on the back of another record year we were awarded, for the second year in succession, Deal of the Year and we are hopeful that in 2018 we can make it a triple success. 2018 has already started with a flurry of activity and we currently have pipeline sales valued at £175Million and expect to close many more before the end of the coming year. Our Sales Director Matt Dillon has already been recognised by our peers and this year has been awarded the accolade of Sales Director of the Year UK clearly emphasising that La Salle Corporate is recognised by its peers as being the leading broker in the industry. We have been advising our clients for over 12 months that interest rates would increase and we were proven right at the end of last year. The Bank of England recently stated that interest rates would rise again far sooner than expected and went on to say that this would represent a steep rise clearly indicating that they were concerned about the economy. When interest rates rise investors seek a greater return on their investment and as a consequence company values drop. When factoring the effects of Brexit on top of interest rate rises, we are potentially facing a deep recession where investors flee the market altogether and the demand for UK companies falls to an all-time low. When selling, timing is everything and as experts in our field all we can do is give our clients the best possible advice. That advice is that if you have been contemplating a sale of your company then you should look at doing it now rather than leaving it and losing share value. Remember, you do not have to sell 100% of your shares. You can always do a part sale, bank money and retain a shareholding with a partner that would seek to grow the company thus increasing the value of your retained shareholding. La Salle Corporate have been guiding clients through this process for many years and our reputation and expertise speaks for itself. As such, we would be delighted to provide you with advice and guidance entirely free of charge and with no obligation on your part. Should you be interested in discussing our services, please do not hesitate to contact our Sales Director, Matt Dillon on 0161 975 1521, who looks forward to hearing from you. |
