Do you know your options? Key to the team’s off ering is a personalised Options Report for clients interested in understanding what their business is worth and what an exit may look like; coupled with a deeper appreciation of the commercial, fi nancial and transactional risks and benefi ts of alternative exit options. T is provides a valuable foundation for exploratory discussions between their corporate fi nance specialists and the business owner to help them decide what’s best for them, their business and their employees. Paula added: “A lot of businesses we act for are family owned, or
ones built on long-term friendships, and as such, seeking external professional advice can help take the emotion out of a situation, meaning these relationships remain intact. Whether you’re buying or selling, it’s a complex process. So, knowing you have the support of professionals who have everything covered and are acting in your best interest is a massive weight off a business owner’s shoulders.” Stephen Watts, Managing Partner at TC Group added: “We’re
very proud our Corporate Finance team has been recognised with one of the biggest awards in the industry. “We’re one of the largest professional services firms in

Paula Carter, Associate Director at TC Group, said: “As Corporate
Finance advisors, we’re sector agnostic and keen to remain as such. Northamptonshire’s such a diverse market and we complement it well. Being on the patch is important to us, not only making it easier to develop relationships with local businesses, but we also fi rmly believe nothing quite beats that in-person meeting. “T at applies to collaboration with other professionals too. TC
Group has 11 locally based specialist services, and we regularly ‘white label’ our offering, including M&A, to other business advisory and accountancy fi rms both locally and nationally. We also understand the value of building relationships with local lawyers, banks and alternative lenders, and our clients have the confi dence that we are well-connected, respected and closely linked with other stakeholders.” Patrick added: “One thing that’s concerning our clients at the
moment is the political landscape and what eff ect the general election result might have on factors such as Capital Gains Tax and business legislation. What’s clear is that forward planning’s impor- tant, whatever the timescale, and it’s never too early to start thinking about the future – considering the tax elements, property issues, legal contracts, employee issues and more.”
