Is the value of your business increasing? Are you attracting interest from investors and potential acquirers?

If you're not, you may be operating at levels that carry too much risk for an investor.

Or perhaps you're not growing fast enough to catch the attention of Private Equity and Venture Capital.

But what if you could achieve the same benefits these funding routes can offer, without selling a large stake in your business?

What if you could quickly increase the value of your business and exit within the next 12-24 months?

This could be more achievable than you think.

So if you're an established founder who has demonstrated solid fundamentals in your business and a turnover of c£2m+, we'd love to explore what an equity partnership could achieve for you.

How can we help?

Growth

As an equity growth partner, we acquire a minority stake in your business before working alongside your existing team and infrastructure to increase shareholder value and optimise the key pillars of your business such as sales, operations, marketing and financial engineering to deliver growth. 

Mergers & Acquisitions

By working alongside your team as an equity partner we can identify and source synergistic M&A targets, and develop group structures that rapidly increase shareholder value, and attract larger industry acquirers.

Succession Planning

If you are already seeking an exit, we can discuss a realistic valuation for the business and offer a range of mutually beneficial, and flexible exit scenarios. Whatever route we pursue, we recognise that any decision to sell will come with a host of financial and emotional ties which we can seek to navigate through to a win-win scenario for all.

Who do we work with?

We would love to work with founders across all stages of their entrepreneurial journey, however we offer the most value to established businesses where the founders have a 1-3 year exit timeline. We also focus heavily on marketing and technology related businesses that meet the following criteria: 

1) £2M - £5M in annual revenues

2) 5 years + trading history 

3) Experienced management teams in place

How do we work?

1 Conversation

Engaging with any investor or partner in your business is often a big decision. That's why everything starts with an open and honest conversation, so we can understand your business journey, where you sit in the market, and any ambitions you may have to sell. We also discuss any challenges you are facing and identify areas where you may require support. This initial call helps to determine if there could be a good fit and whether there's any rapport from which we can build upon in the future.

Discuss With Us 

2 Assessment

If we decide to explore a potential partnership or acquisition we will request that you complete a confidential business assessment which will enable us to understand the business financials, it's operational structure and expected valuation.


3 Outcome

Following the business assessment we will discuss a range of options including a potential acquisition offer, investment criteria, and any proposed terms for forming an equity partnership. If the business does not meet our criteria we will actively seek to introduce external partners who are more aligned to your industry and/or objectives.


4 Exit

Our ultimate goal is to facilitate an exit for the founder. The structure and time frame for the exit will vary but we typically seek a maximum 3 year period from partnership to exit.
