Hong Kong launch for deals firm

LANCASHIRE mergers and acquisitions adviser BCMS has boosted its presence in the Asia Pacific region with the launch of a new office in Hong Kong.

It has taken occupancy at Causeway Bay’s Citicorp Centre as part of the Haslingden company’s ongoing international growth strategy.

The move adds to BCMS’s Asia Pacific presence with offices also in Sydney and Beijing.

The launch follows the establishment of BCMS Israel, increasing the overall number of the international advisory’s offices to 25.

BCMS Hong Kong managing director Barkis Ip said: “Large companies may have deep pockets, but they are also tough negotiators.

“Our business model is based on generating multiple offers for our Hong Kong clients, which typically creates a 2.5 times difference between highest and lowest offers.

“It has been key to our success in selling hundreds of small businesses around the world, and we are pleased to be able at last to bring this to Hong Kong.”
