Corporate Advisory Services
When you’re running a business, you rely on expertise and experience. You and your management team make most of the decisions. But if you’re considering major corporate changes, it’s wise to get specialist advice from your trusted adviser.
We offer companies corporate finance guidance and advice through a range of services which includes everything from assistance on stock marketing positioning to debt advisory and mergers and acquisitions.
Bank and debt capital market conditions continually evolve. Our constant presence means we can tell you the terms available to you, today.
We can provide advice and help with issues such as:
- Strategic direction for a business
- Raising money (debt or equity)
- Selling or buying all or part of a company
- Widening ownership base
- Ensuring working capital requirements are funded
If you’re uncertain about what’s best for your company – or you just want to see what’s possible – give us a call.
One bank, many opportunities
There may be occasions where other parts of the Investec Group in the UK or overseas may be relevant. For example, you may require balance sheet support in equity underwriting or help in identifying overseas M&A opportunities. We can assist in managing our wider group's potential capabilities on your behalf.
