M&A
Green Square provides corporate finance advice to the shareholders of independent media and marketing communications businesses. We typically advise businesses with enterprise values ranging from £1m to £50m. Specifically, our M&A focus is on the following transaction scenarios:
- Trade sales
- Private equity backed disposals
- Management buy-outs
We act predominantly for vendors so our ability to give independent advice is never compromised. Our remuneration structure is designed such that we are fully motivated to drive the most rewarding deal for shareholders.
We have strong M&A experience, having advised on numerous successful transactions, which gives us a rounded understanding of what makes a business an attractive investment opportunity and how best to structure and negotiate the optimal transaction.
Our exclusive focus on the media and marketing communications sector means we have an excellent knowledge of the global buyer landscape, both from previous transactions and from our ongoing research and networking.

Consultancy
Green Square provides consultancy advice to the shareholders and managers of independent businesses who are looking for assistance with preparing the business for sale, in either the short or medium term. Our service offering, which can be tailored according to specific requirements, includes the following:
Commercial review
Our commercial review is an objective assessment of the business from an acquirer's viewpoint. Applying our extensive experience of how they assess businesses, we identify areas for improvement and help the management team develop an action plan to address these.
Based on prior client feedback, an external perspective can be invaluable in directing attention onto the key issues that concern acquirers, away from the everyday concerns that absorb the team. It can also help ensure that all the team are pulling in the same direction.
Shareholder exit
There are a range of scenarios where an existing shareholder may need to be exited from a business. Perhaps they simply wish to leave to pursue other opportunities, or maybe the individual's contribution to the business has diminished.
We can provide impartial advice on an exit, oversee the process, undertake the sensitive negotiations and balance the different expectations of the parties involved.
