Burgis & Bullock - Guide to Mergers and Acquisitions in the UKTIAG_Alliance
The UK is a highly attractive place to do business as evidenced by the large levels of inward investment into the country seen over the last few years. For overseas companies wishing to set up operations and trade there are a number of highly useful guides to doing business in the UK produced by the accounting and law firm members of the TAG Alliances (www.tiagnet.com and www.taglaw.com).
However, one of the most common methods for international companies to seek a presence in the UK is through acquisition. Having advised and supported overseas businesses to acquire UK companies we have observed there are many subtle, and not so subtle, variations in how different countries conduct M&A activity. This includes not just the obvious legal differences, but also variances in style, custom, market practice, the role of advisers, and the process undertaken.
This guide does not cover the strategic and commercial aspects of an effective acquisition strategy that would be common across the globe, such as defining your acquisition criteria, target analysis, valuations, negotiations, and post-acquisition integration. The document is designed to provide non-UK acquirers with an overview of the legal and regulatory regime governing M&A activity in the UK together with an understanding of the processes and transaction issues that are most commonly encountered in this country. It is no substitute for good quality professional advice, but should help buyers to plan their M&A strategy for maximum effectiveness.

Who Exports?
Many people believe large multinationals do not export because they supply their foreign markets from local production
However, some of the largest U.S international firms were also the nation’s largest exporters.

The survey showed that the top 50 manufacturers accounted for a minimum of 45% of the known export value while;
200,000+ small and medium-size firms were responsible for 31% of the known export value.
Why Export?

Benjamin Tsang is proposing an equity bond product that would allow investors to retire early through consistent returns of 20% annually over 50 years. The product targets the working population of the UK and would utilize Capita Hartshead's existing pension client base of 3 million members. Key risks include the collapse of companies within the stock portfolio. Initial funding of £386,000 is required for website development, online payment processing, staffing, and regulatory fees. The proposal argues this early retirement product has potential to generate income for Capita Group and tap into a demand in the market with little competition.

NOTES & CONDITIONS:
UK TRADE & INVESTMENT MARKET VISIT SUPPORT SCHEME
Conditions of the West Midlands Market Visit Support Scheme are:
1. Companies or businesses must be UK based and promoting UK goods and services. MVS is not
aimed at experienced exporters who are already established in a market and who, for example,
simply wish to visit existing contacts.
2. Only one representative per company or business may receive a financial package although others
are welcome to participate at their own expense.
3. The financial package will be available from the Chamber for companies based within the West
Midlands. Eligible companies must be new to the market or new to export (see section 8 above for
further details).
4. Companies outside the West Midlands may participate in the market visit, but will need to approach
their local international trade adviser for funding. Funding will be available under West Midlands
conditions and the same eligibility criteria will apply.
5. 5. UK Trade & Investment West Midlands will pay towards the total package costs from the UK. This
can include travel, in-market hotel expenses producing marketing documents for the market,
translation costs or attending the briefing, where there is a cost. Other suggestions will also be
considered.
6. Overseas representatives of UK companies are welcome to apply to join supported market visits but
will not receive a travel grant. Practical help and support is available.
7. In order for participants to be eligible for the financial package they must:
v. Have no more than 250 employees
vi. Have an annual turnover of no more than euro 50m (£34m)
vii. Not breach a limit of euro 200,000 of funding over the 3 years leading up to the issue of this
grant from any combination of sources. (See section 8 below)
viii. Attend a briefing meeting in the UK before travelling on the market visit.
ix. Attend a briefing meeting in the market or markets covered by the market visit. Our
overseas Embassies, High Commissions and Consulates normally hold these on the first
working day.
x. Observe a minimum stay in the market visit market(s). The organiser will notify the
qualifying period to you.
xi. Attend the reception in the market if held.
8. Within 8 weeks of returning to the UK provide written post visit feedback, provide proof of flight
details and an invoice in order to claim the grant.
9. Please note that under the Government initiative to improve the transparency of how public funds are
used, all MVS payments paid by BIS (including the identity of the recipient and the amount) will be
published from 1 January 2011 (details of payments over £500 have been published since April
2010.) By making an application to participate in the MVS scheme you agree that details of any
payments made to your company by BIS can be published.
Market visit support is classed as a state aid and is therefore subject to EU regulations governing state
aids. While the EU strongly regulates state aid to businesses we have the option to exempt some aid
under the EU‟s De Minimis block exemption scheme. This permits no more than euro 200,000 in total to
be received by an enterprise in a 3 year period. You must therefore use the table at the end of this form
to confirm that your business has not received more than that amount of state aid in the 3 year period
leading up to this application. You should use the table below to tell us about any state aid you have
received over the relevant period and include the grant for which you are currently applying in the table.
Companies who are receiving a travel grant from any other UK Government or national or local
government source or from European sources of funding in respect of this market visit may not claim an
additional financial package.
UK Trade & Investment reserves the right to withhold any or all of the financial package or require part or
full repayment of any financial package already paid if any participant: ceases trading; goes into
liquidation, administration, receivership or bankruptcy; becomes the subject of a proposal for a winding up
order or any other informal insolvency procedure; is or becomes indebted to any government department.
UK Trade & Investment reserves the right to withhold any or all of the grant or require part or full
repayment of any grant already paid if any participant: fails to comply with the conditions of the Scheme
or causes embarrassment to Her Majesty‟s Government, the host country or other participants of the
group.
Market Visit participants will be expected to arrange their itineraries to comply with condition 7vi. Variations
may be agreed only in exceptional circumstances and with the prior agreement of the organiser and UK Trade
& Investment. Please contact the organiser as soon as possible in case of real difficulty.
Although market visit participants are normally free, having observed these conditions, to arrange their own
business itineraries please note that the scheme is about group participation in the market. Members can
obtain real benefits from opportunities to network with each other. We hope that you will therefore participate
within the spirit as well the rules of the scheme and take part, wherever appropriate, in joint calls and
hospitality. The organiser can provide you with details. Your involvement in any debriefing session at the end
of the market visit also provides UK Trade & Investment with invaluable feedback.
Applicants are encouraged to take full advantage of all practical sources of help and advice in preparing for
this market visit. The better-prepared participants are the better value-for-money they will gain. Any UK-
based briefing meeting held before departure by market visit sponsors can help in this respect. Also, apart
from information held on our website, a wealth of help is available from our overseas network. You can
obtain details from:

Market Visit Support – Code of Conduct
By signing up to the package of support provided by your Advisor under the Market Visit Support

or full repayment of any grant already paid if any participant fails to:
