Are you buying a business?
There is a lot to consider when buying a business. RJP can guide you through each step of the process to help clarify and simplify the issues you are facing. Our experts are on hand to assist with the due diligence and tax issues that will need to be dealt with.
Expert advice for clients looking to purchase a business
One of the fastest ways to expand a business, gain market share or diversify, is through acquisition. Buying an established business can strengthen your own business brand and expand your customer base, together with providing other benefits such as streamlining your internal processes and amalgamating costs.
RJP has advised many clients interested in purchasing a competitor’s business, a business in a complementary field, or in acquiring a poorly performing business and executing a turnaround strategy.
Whatever your plans, there are lots of questions that need to be answered to establish the performance of the business you hope to be investing in and whether it will be a shrewd decision.
Professional advice and guidance at every step
Having been established for over 3 decades, RJP LLP knows the Surrey and South London area and its business community very well. This, together with our experience in advising on acquisitions, makes us a natural accounting and tax partner for clients seeking to purchase all types of businesses, whilst avoiding many potential issues.
Our professional advice will help you to successfully conclude the entire process – from initial negotiations, to the valuation and due diligence process, right through to final purchase, with tax clearances, tax and VAT administration and Companies House submissions.
Once the purchase has completed, we can continue to advise. Whether you are looking for an outsourced finance director, quarterly management accounts, annual accounts, tax compliance or tax planning advice, we can help you to develop a business integration plan and successfully combine your businesses.

I just wanted to drop you a short note to say how grateful I am for the support that RJP has provided over the past 4 weeks while our Financial Controller was away. I struggle to comprehend how much work your staff get through during their weekly visits and they are always a pleasure to have around the office.
