Acquisitions and Disposals

In the modern commercial world, it is a rite of passage for most businesses to pass out of the hands of their original owners and into those of the next generation. There is any number of ways in which this can happen, but all give rise to the same concerns and opportunities.

Some will want to release the value they have built in the company; others will want to ensure a future for themselves of ongoing involvement; others again will want to avoid buying - or funding - a "pig in a poke". And in the midst of it all, for everyone, the business has to keep going strong.

McCormicks can give any participant in the process the advice and the tools they need to engineer the future they want from the deal.
