Cheshire Cheese Company is a seller of cheese online and to wholesale. We had and a long-standing relationship with the client benefitting from Strategic, Tax and Financial planning services from the wider CN group.
We initially advised the client on the restructure of the business and its divisions as part of its growth plans, and advised the client throughout its growth phase. Transactional advice related to the majority disposal of the business to the Heler Group, incorporating CNCA tax advice to ensure tax positions were optimised. As part of the process, we supported with all elements of negotiations and assessment of key financial elements of the deal, assistance during the Due Diligence process, supporting with negotiations of the legal documents, assistance with the completion accounts preparation and negotiation, ensuring all shareholders with differing objectives achieved their optimum outcome.
What the client said – “When I was presented with the opportunity to facilitate a majority acquisition of one of my businesses, the first person I consulted for advice was Andy Baggott. Our professional relationship goes back 20 years, providing me and all my businesses with the best advice in tax, pension, and accountancy.
The outcome for each shareholder was significantly different. CNSA looked after each of us as individuals and genuinely cared about our financial outcomes. We enjoyed a personal level of detail and energy rare in most businesses.
Andy Baggott was not only an advisor but also worked hard to negotiate the best possible valuation and checked all the paperwork before we signed anything off. The Cheshire Cheese Company is now in new capable and caring hands and will achieve its growth potential. Its shareholders have benefited from a skilfully managed financial negotiation led by the team.
I would highly recommend their services”.
