We are more than happy to share our knowledge

Here at Dunkley’s we understand how external capital can accelerate product development, hiring, international expansion, and mergers and acquisitions (M&A). It can also help you professionalise reporting and governance, supporting sustainable growth. The trade-off is dilution and a closer relationship with investors who will expect evidence-based plans, transparent financials and measurable milestones.

Before you start any process, be clear about: what you need the money for, how much you really need, when you’ll reach break-even (or the next value-step), and what you’re prepared to give up to get there. Investors will ask the same questions. Read our extensive guide, which will help you better understand the process.

A company purchase of its own shares can be a highly effective tool for business owners planning an exit, managing succession, or restructuring shareholdings. However, to do it successfully, and tax efficiently, it’s essential to get the structure right and to apply for advance clearance from HMRC.
