As experienced operators and investors, we adopt a flexible and creative approach to each potential acquisition or equity partnership.

We join every discussion with an open mind, and appreciate that every business owner's journey and personal aspirations are unique.

You may be actively seeking a buyer for your company or perhaps you're more focused on growth.

Whatever the case may be, we can offer creative solutions and access to resources which may currently be out of reach.

Option 1 – Equity Growth Partnerships

 

Flat or negative growth is unfortunately quite common for mature businesses and this can often last for months or even years.

Our equity growth partnerships bring a combination of non-executive support and equity to the table, accelerating the business beyond it's current limitations and significantly increasing their exit valuations.

 

 
 

The solutions we propose depend on your business, but these may include::

 

 

  Financial investment and/or capital raising.

 

  Implementing growth initiatives and supporting management teams to reach key milestones for exit.

 

 

  Acting as Non-Exec Directors and Strategic Board Advisors.

 

  Acquiring equity into larger holding groups and forming synergistic group entities.

 

  Optimising business operations to remove barriers, and improve efficiency.

 

  Reviewing financial performance and introducing measures that will enhance exit valuations.

Option 2 – Introducing Our Partners

It may be that your business requires investment from a specific strategic partner, or at levels beyond our own capacity. In these scenarios we can review the business objectives and make introductions from within our network of active M&A partners both within the UK and Internationally.

 
 

The outcomes of these introductions will vary but possibilities include:

 

  Taking your business to the public markets and raising growth capital via our experienced partners.

 

  Putting you in contact with known industry acquirers and groups.

 

  Introducing you to private investors and acquirers in our network.

 

 

 In these scenarios we act as far more than ‘matchmakers' or advisors to a potential sale, we also help the acquirers overcome barriers to purchase during due diligence, and act as a bridge to achieve financial benchmarks that may need to be reached.

We will therefore remain firmly in the picture and do whatever we can to ensure a smooth transition from the business.

What do we not do?

Drag out due diligence

We aim to get things done quickly and smoothly, with as little bureaucracy as possible. Depending on the structure of our equity partnership, due diligence can often be concluded in just a few weeks.

Charge excessive fees 

As equity partners we have a vested interest in retaining profits and do not charge excessive consulting fees. 

Dance around the issue

As an experienced team of partners, investors and acquirers we are extremely solution orientated and do not get held back by issues which traditional firms may struggle to overcome.
