Mergers and Acquisitions are an area we specialise in at Gortreagh Consulting. We support owner-managed businesses in Cookstown, Dungannon, Magherafelt and the wider Mid-Ulster area through buy-side and sell-side transactions, from first feasibility to completion accounts.
What we cover
Sell-side: vendor due diligence preparation, normalised earnings, information memoranda support, deal structure (share vs asset), tax on disposal and completion mechanisms.
- Buy-side: target review, financial due diligence, synergy modelling, funding requirements and post-deal integration planning.
How we work
Early involvement prevents fixing the wrong structure at the LOI stage. We clarify objectives, confidentiality and timeline.
- Dedicated project cadence with clear deliverables each week during active deals.
Sell-side preparation in Mid-Ulster
Owner-managed sellers in Cookstown and Dungannon often have informal arrangements that need tidying before due diligence: property in personal names, related party balances, informal leases. We run pre-sale health checks.
- Normalised earnings stories must be defensible. We help you present adjustments buyers will accept, not optimistic add-backs that collapse in diligence.
Buy-side integration
After acquisition, chart of accounts, payroll and VAT registrations must align quickly. We plan day-one finance tasks so the combined business reports cleanly.
- Earn-outs and completion accounts need ongoing tracking. We maintain models so disputes are minimised.
