The Cockburn Group provide a tailored service on a global scale to the
commercial and corporate sectors and encompass all sectors of industry.
For the client who recognises the need for an independent appraisal of a
prospective acquisition we will provide a report and recommendation on the target
business. We will identify the issues ; financial, strategic and commercial that it is
essential to address, this will be coupled with recommendations as to how the acquisition
should be financed, and the new balance sheet constructed. e.g. cash/debt/equity.
On the other side of the coin we will undertake a similar function to
advise existing directors of options.
As indicated above we will become actively involved in the financial structure and assist
in placing the chosen mix of finance with appropriate institutions.
We also provide a 'matching' service bringing together business
angels/investors with suitable companies seeking additional equity capital.
In response to certain clients we will also address purely financial
considerations without becoming involved in the 'diligence'. With our extensive global
contacts within the finance industry we will place funding on a broking basis with the
most appropriate institution/s, as a guide we prefer a minimum of £200,000 within the UK
and £1m on an international basis with no maximum, we recognise that in business there is
no hard and fast rule, as such will respond to any enquiry.
The entrepreneur will always by their very nature take calculated risks
and with the best will in the world they sometimes go wrong. The Cockburn Group recognise
the problems that this brings and when things go wrong we can help in a variety of ways.
