Shield Corporate Finance provides a unique combination of corporate finance and consultancy support internationally, all designed to help owners and managers increase the value of their businesses, and ultimately extract it at a premium and tax-efficiently when the time is right for business exit, whether by sale, merger or succession. Shield Corporate Finance was founded by David Young in 2001, with a determination to deliver remarkable results for sellers of businesses, irrespective of transaction size, in a world of financial advice increasingly biased in favour of acquirors. This has taken Shield's Merger & Acquisition team into fertile new territory, willing to work with clients for a year or two prior to sale, in order to achieve best possible outcomes. In addition to considerable expertise and success in handling sale execution mandates and the commercial aspects of contract negotiations, Shield delivers unique consultancy services in Value Building and Sale Preparation (featured in The Times, The Telegraph and Real Business magazine). We guarantee: •Senior professional attention •Total confidentiality •Objective advice, untainted by any conflicts of interest •A willingness to be helpful, irrespective of transaction size (Shield works with companies with operating profits of £500K>, and offers a free indication of value if a business fits this criteria)
