As a firm of Chartered Accountants, WNJ embraces its role as a key business advisory service for its Clients.  Our role is not simply to ensure statutory and tax compliance.

Business advisory

As such, we have a long proud history of identifying tax-saving and commercial opportunities for our Clients.

WNJ’s success in advising its Clients from a tax and commercial perspective is driven by excellent Client relationships and a fundamental understanding of its Client base.

Acquisitions & Disposals

Experienced professionals to assist before, during and post transaction

Whether your business is large or small, our experienced team will advise you if you are considering either selling your business or buying another.

When selling your business, we will:

  • Carry out a full review and valuation to ensure that you are aware of any issues
  • Advise you of a realistic deal price
  • Assist you in positioning your business so that you achieve the maximum deal price, and
  • Assist you in negotiating the best deal

When purchasing a business, we will:

  • Undertake due diligence on the target business to establish its financial position and to identify the key commercial risks
  • Assist you in obtaining funding for the transaction, and
  • Advise you on all matters that arise during the acquisition process

Our tax specialists will also be involved in any business sale or purchase agreement to ensure that our Clients’ objectives are fulfilled and that the deal is structured to minimise tax liabilities.

Corporate & Business Finance

Finding the right financial support

Whether your business is new, growing or mature, ensuring you have the necessary finance is essential for achieving your objectives.

One of the most common causes of business failure is badly structured or inadequate financing.  That’s where we can help you.

Our services include:

  1. Conduct a feasibility study of your projects
  2. Decide on the most suitable sources of finance
  3. Prepare the necessary business plan, forecasts and prospectuses
  4. Present your proposals to your chosen finance source
  5. Arrange a disposal, merger/acquisition, or management buyout/in

Commercial & Strategic Guidance

Exploring new direction in unfamiliar surroundings

Exploring the unknown can be dangerous but rewarding if you make the right decisions.

Embarking in a new strategy is not for the faint hearted.  Our business experts have experience derived from many Client scenarios and can use that skill to help you.

These include advising on:

  • Business valuations and shareholder value
  • Key management incentive schemes
  • Succession planning and development strategy
  • Exit strategies
  • Optimum financial structure
  • Business plan formulation/review

You will undoubtedly require assistance from third parties as your business grows.

Whether it be from banks, venture capital, stockbrokers or solicitors, our contact base will open the right doors for you by introducing you to leading experts.

We will be on familiar territory (even if you are not) and we can provide the additional resources when required.

Our expertise and contacts will help you open doors that may otherwise might have remained closed for you.
