Rawlison Butler LLP has advised Goldsmiths Corporate Finance Limited on the establishment and structure of a network of corporate finance advisers based nationally. Abigail Owen, Corporate Partner, led the team.
Goldsmiths Corporate Finance Limited (GCF) has been set up to provide the marketing and the promoting of the corporate finance services of its members. It has a national presence and will primarily serve small professional practices which don’t have in-house M&A expertise as well as other introducers such as banks.
Malcolm Coomber, director of London based Hyde Corporate Finance and one of the original members of Goldsmiths Corporate Finance Limited commented “The private company sale market, generally companies valued at £1m to £20m, has been dominated too long by brokers and transfer agents who are aggressive at marketing their product but can often fall short in “doing the deal” and lack the skills to provide a complete service. All GCF firms will provide the complete package with professionally qualified staff not only marketing and getting the best price for a business, but also providing tax advice and all other skills which a vendor is entitled to expect. The expertise and responsiveness of Abigail Owen was of great assistance to GCF and helped in ensuring that matters proceeded smoothly and we were able to launch the new venture within the desired timeframe.”
Commenting on the transaction, Abigail Owen said: “We are very pleased to have acted for Goldsmiths Corporate Finance Limited on this exciting venture and wish them well.”
