In the life cycle of every business there comes a time where it needs external support, usually for a major transaction. You may need to raise significant capital for an expansion or for an acquisition of another business, alternatively you may be looking for an exit route either through a business sale or a management buyout, or you may be involved in a shareholder dispute. These are all areas that Shoesmiths are able to assist with.

Shoesmiths are co-founders of Concentus Limited, a company specialising in these types of corporate finance activities. Whilst Concentus is newly formed, its founders have a wealth of experience within these areas. We appreciate that these types of transactions often occur only once in a company's life and will probably be the largest single transaction ever made.

It is therefore vitally important that you receive the kind of support that we provide. Our focus is to understand your requirements and specific circumstances; so that we can best advise and assist you in the project. We pride ourselves in offering unrivalled support and service, working with you to ensure the right outcome is achieved. We will always establish and agree your objectives up-front and devise an action plan that meets them.
