| Comment | Funny wee story about that.
I know someone had an engineering company that was bought by Romec, owned by Balfour Beatty, many years ago.
A bit into the discussion he got cold feet and said so. He was told in no uncertain terms that they pretty much had folk in the HMRC who would take a sudden, aggressive interest in his business, and even if they found nothing it would be an intentionally drawn out affair.
Audits are a weapon.
(He sold to them, worked for a year to the day and left, and they ran it into the ground within months). |
