Corporate Finance
Structural support for the moments that change a business: a sale, an acquisition, a buy out or a reorganisation. Handled quietly, at partner level.
Purpose and scope
Value, funding and the structure that holds them together
Corporate finance deals with the capital structure of a corporation, including its funding and the actions that management takes to increase the value of the company. Corporate finance also includes the tools and analysis utilised to prioritise and distribute financial resources.
The ultimate purpose of corporate finance is to maximise the value of a business through the planning and implementation of resources, while balancing risk and profitability. At Gaffney Murphy, we provide wide-ranging support to clients, helping them achieve corporate objectives and grow shareholder and personal wealth.
