Acquisitions

Acquisitions may be required for many strategic reasons (e.g. expansion) and may include the purchase of particular individual assets (e.g. commercial or horticultural property) or alternatively a company acquisition.

Kelt Capital Limited is able to provide specialist advice for Management Buyouts and Management Buyins. Management Buyout involves the management of a business purchasing the whole or part of the business. Management Buyin is little different from Management Buyout, in that the management team making the acquisition does not currently work for the business is it purchasing.

All significant acquisitions by a business will have a major impact on the business balance sheet structure (mix of debt and equity etc) and require the business to review the most effective source of funds and financial structure.

Kelt Capital Limited will advise on these structures and identify and implement the necessary funds to effect the acquisition.

Balance Sheet Restructuring

The demands of the current economic environment may require businesses to implement some form of restructuring or rationalisation to meet future strategic objectives. Kelt Capital Limited will identify and implement the appropriate level and source of both debt and shareholder's equity for this purpose.

Debt Facility Implementation

Kelt Capital Limited is able to identify and implement the optimum debt facilities for business requirements.

Joint Venture Company Structuring

A business may find that it is unable to exploit its full potential without additional equity capital. Additional capital may be required for numerous reasons, for example:

  • Acquire additional land and building
  • Develop new products or markets
  • The acquisition of a competitor or vertically integrated business

In such circumstances it may be appropriate to establish a Joint Venture Company (JVC) with a business partner to provide additional capital.

Kelt Capital Limited is able to provide advice on the structuring of a JVC and assist the promoter of the business in implementing the JVC.

Kelt Capital takes pride in delivering exceptional strategic advice and service to our clients.
