It has also appointed advisers Alvarez & Marsal to assess the takeover interests.
In a statement, MJ Hudson said: “In addition to demonstrating the value within MJ Hudson’s operating businesses, the board believes that such transactions would provide the best opportunity to strengthen the Group’s balance sheet by reducing its debt and to ensure that it has adequate working capital in the medium term.”
The firm did not provide more details on the potential sale.
MJ Hudson added: “Trading in all the divisions continues, although the latter part of 2022 saw a slowing of fund raising activity and general transaction work for our clients which also resulted in lower activity for the related business units.
