Begbies Traynor Group completes David Rubin & Partners deal

Begbies Traynor Group has announced that its acquisition of David Rubin and Partners (DRP) has been completed for a cash consideration of £25m.

The insolvency practice purchase included an initial consideration of £12m, with a deferred payment of up to £13m dependent on the financial performance of the practice across the next five years.

It leaves the Group well-positioned to increase its market share and continue to grow its business recovery and financial advisory revenues.

“With the benefit of this and other recent acquisitions together with organic growth initiatives the Group is well positioned to deliver material growth in the 2021-22 financial year.”
