Healthcare Sector Deals
Author(s)Tracey Seath, Commercial and Corporate Finance Team Leader.
Activity in the healthcare sector remains buoyant despite the credit crunch and warnings regarding further slowing of the economy. Many of the companies involved in the acquisitions in this sector have strong track records and have already secured the funding necessary for their growth strategies. This has left them in an enviable position of being able to continue to pursue deals where others have fallen by the wayside, giving them a strong negotiating platform.
At Birkett Long LLP our commercial teams have continued to assist our acquisitive clients in deals ranging from £400K to £8 million. Deals continue to include the acquisition of individual residential care and nursing homes, share purchases of care home owning groups, share and asset purchases of domiciliary care businesses and homes catering for learning difficulties. Our specialist knowledge of these sectors ensures we are able to progress these transactions efficiently and commercially.
The healthcare sector is also producing new groups of private investors, such as GP consortiums, who are looking to establish limited companies to enable them to tender for APMS contracts. Again our specialist knowledge has ensured that we can guide such groups through the plethora of legal issues associated with such an arrangement.
