#12 CORPORATE FINANCE REALITY - How Deals Actually Get Done

This episode of Fresh Perspectives explores the current corporate finance landscape in the UK and what it really means for SME business owners navigating growth, investment, acquisitions and exit decisions.

Rob Brown is joined by Lee Humble, UK Head of Corporate Finance at Azets, to discuss why recent tax changes have slowed activity, how economic and political uncertainty is affecting decision making, and why opportunities still exist for well-prepared businesses.

They cover recruitment challenges, access to finance, rising overseas interest in UK businesses, and the importance of understanding the right route forward before making major decisions.

Lee also explains what corporate finance support actually involves, how strong advisory teams add value beyond transactions, and why informed advice matters most in uncertain markets.
