BTG delivers accelerated M&A transaction to avoid formal insolvency proceedings

The Challenge

A specialist craft manufacturer faced immediate financial pressures requiring urgent intervention. Administration appointment was looming, threatening the future of the company and its 20-strong workforce. The situation demanded an accelerated transaction process given the need to preserve value whilst avoiding formal insolvency proceedings.

Our Approach

We launched a targeted M&A process, engaging early and working collaboratively with all stakeholders including management, shareholders, creditors, and potential acquirers. Our team identified a strategic buyer within the same industry providing natural operational synergies. By maintaining stakeholder communication throughout, we successfully structured a share purchase agreement that protected value and crucially avoided the need for administration appointment.

The Outcome

We completed the transaction in just 10 business days from introduction to completion, securing the future of company and preserving all 20 jobs and ensuring continuity for customers. Under new ownership, the business now has a strong platform for future growth.
