Corporate Finance & Business Sales

EMC is the South East's leading independent corporate finance firm. Our expert team have been advising sellers and buyers of businesses in the region for more than 20 years and have well over 100 years of corporate finance experience between them.

We offer clients the sort of in-depth knowledge usually only expected to be found in City-based finance houses... but at affordable regional rates!

We have worked on everything from straightforward bank refinancing projects to the most complex international debt restructuring deals with listed companies. Four of our team specialise in distressed situations and we have a database of private investors looking for business opportunities.

Since our formation in 1989, we have helped almost 300 private business owners to reap the maximum reward from their years of hard work once they've made the decision to exit. Many have become multi-millionaires as a result.

Typical transactions fall within the £2m - £100m range, but our team has plenty of experience of working on and arranging deals with significantly larger values.

With offices in Crawley, Maidstone, Eastbourne, Brighton, Chichester and London, we are ideally placed to serve the mid-market sector in the South and South East.

Our key services include:

  • Exit planning
  • Preparing businesses for sale
  • End-to-end management of the sale process
  • Raising venture capital and equity investment
  • Debt funding and specialist asset-based finance
  • Financial packaging and restructuring
  • Pre-acquisition due diligence
  • EMC Exit Scorecard
