The financial review is the starting point when considering employee ownership
Before we measure the suitability of other aspects of your business, it’s important to ascertain that financial performance is strong enough to support transition to employee ownership.
As a starting point, our financial review assess whether the value of your business matches shareholder aspirations and whether projected profits are able to support a realistic payback period and any future stakeholder incentives.
If financial performance and operating structure is unable to support a transition to employee ownership, we can pause our fees and work with you to get your business ready for a future transaction.
Delivered by specialist corporate finance accountants, the financial review highlights the necessary historical and forecasted financial information required for a valuation of your business and the financial due diligence required by lenders. The financial review models different debt repayment scenarios which best suit your situation and objectives.
Outputs:
• Gain an understanding of historical financial reporting processes
• Adjust profits, to reflect the business changing hands
• Prepare both an intrinsic valuation, sanity checked with a relative valuation of your
business
• Formulate financial forecasts modelling a transition to employee ownership
• Model and forecast different debt repayment scenarios exploring future funding
options

If financial performance and operating structure is unable to support a transaction, our services can be paused until the financial position is improved.
