Welcome to Series 3, Episode 7 of the Moorcrofts Means Business podcast.

In this episode, Corporate Partners Will Pearce and Barry Maytum explore the key considerations when approaching business growth through mergers, acquisitions, or purchasing another company.

They cover:

  • The legal process involved in acquisitions and mergers
  • Understanding your starting point and objectives — are you looking for a product, service, IP, key people, or a balance sheet opportunity?
  • The benefits of engaging advisers early and assembling the right professional team
  • The different types of acquisitions and what they mean in practice
  • Funding options available and how they work in real-world scenarios
  • Practicalities — assessing whether your business is ready, and how to manage the business post-acquisition to ensure smooth integration, cultural alignment, and long-term success

Whether you're actively exploring growth opportunities or just starting to consider the possibilities, this episode provides a practical overview of what to expect and how to get started the right way.
