Emerging Giants lifecycle
As your business grows, you might need additional support along the way. Here’s how we can help you to navigate the ups and downs in your lifecycle.
Support as you grow
Working with Emerging Giants, we have identified four core areas where our clients really value external knowledge and support.
To help you source next-stage funding to progress and accelerate your growth, our Emerging Giants Centre of Excellence provides:
- Access to fundraising advice via KPMG Acceleris, our joint venture with specialist capital advisory firm Acceleris. It gives entrepreneurs access to an active investor pool for funding between £1m and £30m+, across most sectors, but specifically technology, life sciences and ESG-related activities.
- Debt advisory support when you need to refinance existing debt, fund future growth, raise capital to support M&A or address shareholder or balance sheet opportunities. Our debt advisory professionals can also help with liquidity issues or dealings with lenders in times of financial stress.
- Support with accessing and managing grants.
- Legal support for deals, raising debt and equity finance.
- Help with the claims process to make sure that your business gets the government-backed tax reliefs and incentives it is entitled to. These reliefs and incentives can provide funding for innovation or be used as part of your broader tax strategy to manage your effective tax rate.
Attracting, motivating and retaining high-performing people can be a challenge. As an emerging giant, we can support your employment strategy with:
- Payroll, compensation policies and solutions tailored for your globally mobile employees. Our People Services team can provide valuable advice on attracting and retaining top talent with relevant and enticing rewards and benefits.
- Connect on Board, our platform to identify the non-executive directors who are the right fit for your board.
As a fast-growing business, your aspirations are likely to extend beyond your core market. We can help you to:
- Scale up and branch out. Our global network of KPMG firms means we’ve got specialists in locations around the world, on the ground and ready to help as you expand into new markets or territories.
- Manage the complexities of international tax. Whether you are expanding your international footprint, investing cross-border or need help with identifying and managing tax risk in your current business, you can leave your international tax to us.
- Comply with your obligations under company law. Our company secretarial services help to keep you and your business compliant, reducing the risk of enforcement action, so that you can get on with your day-to-day activities and grow.
- Ensure that your business stays relevant and competitive with international business structuring.
As your businesses scales, we’ll help you to keep on top of your regulatory, compliance and governance obligations. We can support you with:
- All aspects of your tax affairs via our family office and private client services.
- Liaison with HMRC to resolve your corporate tax enquiries promptly and efficiently.
- Legal solutions to your regulatory, compliance and governance challenges, as well as your ESG responsibilities.
- Tax compliance in the digital age.
