DSG, a member of The Corporate Finance Network with offices in Liverpool and Ewloe, has advised the family owners of a property-backed trading business on an undisclosed deal which saw the company become part of a larger European group.
Andrew Moss, Partner at DSG, took the lead on behalf of the family owners, supporting them through the commercial, tax and structural considerations involved in the transaction. DSG also worked alongside Hill Dickinson and Steve Stuart CF as part of the wider professional team supporting the transaction.
A key element of the deal involved demerging a property from the trading company, helping the family owners retain value in the property while enabling the operating business to move forward under new ownership. Andrew also supported the review of Business Asset Disposal Relief arrangements and helped navigate EMI scheme considerations as part of the wider transaction planning.
Although the buyer approached the client directly, DSG assisted with the information memorandum and marketing materials, while also handholding the client through the process to completion. The deal was completed in April 2026, achieving a strong outcome for the family owners and positioning the business for its next stage of growth as part of a larger European group.
