Growing your business

Growth is an essential ingredient to continued business success. While most businesses can achieve growth organically, this can require considerable time and effort. In order to grow sustainably, entrepreneurial businesses must consider all of their market opportunities including seeking out complementary businesses for acquisition, potentially divesting non-core businesses, outsourcing functions to increase cost efficiencies and potentially expanding into the emerging markets.

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) can be a great way to grow or diversify, but navigating the options can be challenging, especially for entrepreneurial businesses. KPMG Private Enterprise advisors can help you get the most value out of a deal by providing unbiased advice across all stages of the transaction – from strategy development and target identification to implementation. We’ll also work with you to evaluate financing options and structure debt solutions that may give you the financial flexibility you need to deliver on your growth plans.

Whether you’re contemplating an acquisition, a merger, or restructuring – understanding the relevant tax issues will let you take advantage of tax opportunities while reducing your transaction risks. If you’re considering an M&A outside your home jurisdiction, getting specialized tax advice can help you ensure your deal is commercially viable. Our advisors can work with you to understand the tax implications of your potential deals and help you to structure transactions in ways that are tax efficient.

The need for effective risk management and controls is crucial in an environment of increased scrutiny. It is important to minimize these risks in an entrepreneurial business, not only for the business itself, but also for the family, property holdings and capital. Implementing controls, securing new financing, efficient tax management and optimization can all have a positive impact on the bottom line of your business, and we can support you with those needs.

An effective, well-managed information technology (IT) system is one of the most valuable business advantages an organization can secure. The right technology, implemented properly, appropriately managed and monitored, can lead to significant gains in growth and efficiency. KPMG Private Enterprise advisors work with clients to analyze business technology issues within their businesses.

To manage your overall tax burden effectively, you need to understand how tax rules and changes may affect both your personal tax situation and that of your family. KPMG Private Enterprise advisors can work with you to assess the tax rules and tax issues that affect, or may affect, your personal and family taxes, so that you can better manage your overall tax burden while remaining compliant with all tax laws.

KPMG Private Enterprise advisors belong to member firms in 156 different countries, providing you with access to the resources and information you need to be confident in your expansion strategy. We’ll leverage our global experience through local professionals to help you understand your risks and how you can mitigate them – whether it be different regulatory rules and requirements, tax implications, and culture or language barriers.

When it comes to doing business, the status quo will not work for long. Our advisors can work with you to review your business model and help identify strategic initiatives that will support your objectives. We do this through facilitated sessions focused on helping you develop the right strategy for your business – and by helping you execute, monitor and make ongoing adjustments to your strategy.

From assessing the effectiveness of your business structures to helping you identify tax savings opportunities; our tax professionals can work with you to develop a comprehensive tax program that can help manage or reduce your corporate tax burden.

Whether you already have operations in different countries, or plan to expand as part of your strategic goals, understanding tax rules for multinationals is a critical step toward making sure your business is commercially viable and tax efficient. KPMG Private Enterprise advisors can help manage transfer pricing and assist you with creating a commercially viable global tax strategy – one that recognizes global issues while incorporating local knowledge and requirements.
