BDO Stoy Hayward’s corporate finance team helps maximise the value of businesses by advising on acquisitions, fund raisings, flotations and disposals.
Our clients are typically national and international medium-sized businesses and private equity houses focusing on transactions in the £10m-200m range. We work across a wide range of industries and our local knowledge on international transactions is underpinned by BDO’s international network.
The team is highly committed to achieving the strategic objectives of clients by taking a quality-driven, proactive and personal approach to transactions. This commitment is reflected in our track record and is the reason why in 2005 we acted on more AIM flotations than any other accountancy firm and were recognised as the Financial Adviser of the Year by the British Venture Capital Association.

We provide specialist advice in each of the following areas:
| Flotations | Mergers and acquisitions |

Cross-service teams
