East Anglia-based chartered accountant and business advisor Price Bailey has announced the formation of a new subsidiary, Price Bailey Strategic Corporate Finance Limited.

The new company is fully FCA approved and brings together the company’s established business strategy and corporate finance teams into a single unified unit, providing a unique combination in the mid-tier market.

“The strategy behind the formation of this subsidiary company is to emphasise to the market that any corporate finance activity should be part of a clear strategic plan, and to provide that service from a single source,” said Simon Blake, Strategic Corporate Finance Partner. “We believe that strategy and corporate finance transactions fit hand in hand. To do otherwise, creates much more likelihood of failure or missed opportunities.”

With a total of 17 advisers and analysts the team is probably the largest in the South East, and provides a broad range of strategy and corporate finance services including mergers and acquisitions, valuations, research, due diligence, sale mandates, financing, restructuring and strategic planning and execution.

This combined expertise has proven successful for many clients including Essex-based Windsor Integrated Services Group Ltd. Nick Mayhew leads one of the Strategic Corporate Finance teams that works closely with the Windsor team in defining and implementing their growth plans, which to date has included acquisitions, refinancing, new project opportunities and leadership development.
