Our Head of Scotland William Devine reflected on the impact of the business insolvency peak in a recent article for The Scotsman. For businesses, access to funding remains a critical issue amongst other challenges such as inflation and supply chain uncertainty. ☑️ Nevertheless, William outlines that by fostering a dialogue with funders and championing regional development initiatives (alongside refinancing and debt restructuring options in some cases), we might help to begin averting looming concerns of insolvency. 💬 “Despite the prevailing headwinds, there's determination to weather the storm and emerge stronger on the other side.

Co-hosted a great panel discussion last night with Wiggin and Dana LLP and a group of local #Westport-area entrepreneurs! The discussion covered: 1) The M&A environment, how activity is picking up and recent trends in deal negotiations including risk allocation issues and key considerations for buyers. 2) Considerations for sellers in an M&A transaction, from #LOI to close, and post close, and key issues relating to #earnouts, rollover equity, seller note, and post-closing employment and restrictive covenants. 3) Pre-transaction planning: Assembling your team of advisors, evaluating income tax opportunities such as #QSBS structuring and stacking, and implementing estate planning vehicles, such as trusts and LLCs, to transfer wealth while taking advantage of #valuation discounts available at each stage of a business’s life cycle. 4) How to “always be ready” to sell, maintaining clean records, datarooms and corporate governance can set you up to be opportunistic if you’re approached by a buyer. wiggin(x) #entrepreneur #pretransactionplanning #wealthplanning
