Energy

With offices in Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow we are well-positioned to support organisations working across the sector throughout Scotland. We work with oil and gas, renewable, wind, wave and tidal businesses.

Our support to this sector includes advising clients on the sale or acquisition of a business, business planning and financial projections work for clients considering capital expenditure in the sector, through to due diligence, finance raising and grant advice, as well as our core audit and accountancy advice. Our tax team are an integral part of our energy team and deliver sector-specific direct and indirect tax advice, including advice on the new Patent Box regime and Research & Development (R&D) tax credits.

We support businesses currently operating in, or looking to participate in the energy sector. We understand the issues and challenges that such businesses face and are well placed to advise clients on their future plans, be that growth, investment or diversification.

Access to funding, planning constraints, availability of a skilled workforce and renewable energy technology costs are just some of the key challenges for this sector that can only be addressed through collaboration and partnership working to maintain the development of the sector.

Our work in this sector

We work with businesses directly involved in energy generation, as well as those which are part of the supply chain. We also support farming and landed estates clients diversifying into wind energy, biomass systems and hydropower. We work closely with other professionals who have specialist expertise in the energy sector, including solicitors, funders, investors, banks and land consultants.

Testimonials

Henderson Loggie were recommended by LINC, the business angel network, as a key to unlocking finance and they certainly proved their worth in that regard. Henderson Loggie’s corporate finance team quickly showed their high calibre of advice and the commitment that continued throughout the financing of this particularly challenging marine renewable project!

Henderson Loggie provided thoroughly professional guidance for readying our company to present to investors by assisting in the production of an appropriate business plan, financial forecasts and an investor teaser document. They managed the corporate venturing process with equal diligence and presented us to several organisations who showed interest in the business plan, 2 of which eventually invested in our company. We were supported every step of the way with a personal touch that I feel has bound our businesses together for the future and will allow our company to grow rapidly, in so doing, achieving commercial success.
