Selling a business? Shield Corporate Finance are experts in selling companies:

Cambridge Pharma Consultancy was a specialist management consultancy to the pharmaceutical industry. The company had 110 staff with offices in Cambridge and New York. The owners decided to sell the business but were so unimpressed with the quality of advice from the major investment banks and accounting firms that they decided to run the sale process themselves. However, following a meeting with David Young, Chief Executive of Shield Corporate Finance, they made the decision to engage his services.

“We brought in Shield after we had received a takeover proposal. They helped us develop our growth story, generate competition and win the key negotiation points. The result we got for the sale of our business was outstandingly better than we ever imagined. Hiring Shield was probably one of the best decisions we ever made. Having built a business for thirteen years, in the last three months we managed to triple its value.”, Dr. Joe Zammit-Lucia, Founder, Former President and CEO.

Shield Corporate Finance was formed a few years ago by David Young, to bring the divestiture skill-set he had embled as JPMorgans European Head of Sell-Side M&A to the small-cap and mid market. Shield works across the transaction size spectrum, right down to £10m, with an emphasis on communicating the potential of a business for sale and generating and maintaining competition for it, to achieve remarkable results. Although Shield works well across the sector spectrum, David developed a particular expertise in the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors during his time at Wasserstein Perella and subsequently headed the European Healthcare M&A group of Merrill Lynch.

Operating internationally as well as throughout the UK, Shield has offices in London and Poole, representatives in New York, San Diego, Beijing, Singapore, Dubai and Johannesburg; and alliances with Soft Bank in Japan and Kingsway and Tianyi Securities in China. +44 (0)20 7031 8265 http://www.shield.uk.com/sell_a_business.html
