Take the next step to SME business growth. Aequitas Business Advisory offers these core solutions.
1
Commercial, Operational and Financial Review
Undertaking a commercial MOT is a prudent decision for your SME business. By working with an independent and experienced advisor, you can better identify ways to improve and grow organically.
​
How we work together
​
We first grasp your challenges. We then conduct an in-depth analysis of your financials (P/L, balance sheet and cash flow) before doing an operational review of the business, including sales, support, and back-office functions. The outcome is a detailed plan for change presenting an actionable roadmap ready for board approval.

M&A Advisory and Transaction Management
Growing by acquisition is an effective, rewarding way to expand your turnover but business purchases can be fraught with challenges. Similarly, selling your SME business requires considerable time and resources. Having an objective professional overseeing the transaction's progression to completion becomes crucial to maintaining clarity and perspective.
