Our Approach
We understand the commitment that is an essential ingredient of business success. This is something often overlooked by outsiders and corporate advisers. But it’s what excites us most: the human element of our work. The forging of long term relationships. The connections we make between people who share an ambition.
It’s these insights that underpin our success. They are how we are able to match the passion of a founder with the vision of investor.
For Business Owners & Founders
- You are a passionate founder with a vision and ambition.
- You have an exciting brand, product or business that will be tomorrow’s champion.
- You have a track record of growing fast, and profitably.
- If you’re raising growth capital or selling a minority stake, you are wanting to raise at least £5m+.
- If you’re looking to sell, our typical deal size starts at £25m.
- Or you may be seeking ongoing strategic advice, assistance in executing a buy+build strategy, or some corporate finance support.
- We are experts in our field, just as you are in yours. Together we can deliver success.
For Investors & Corporates
- You are a private equity house backing category leaders and disruptors.
- You are a family office supporting the growth of tomorrow’s winners.
- You are a large corporate with an M&A agenda, driving a bolt-on strategy or rationalising the portfolio.
- You are looking to acquire or dispose of businesses in the UK or internationally, with an enterprise value typically of £25m to £250m, in one or a series of transactions.
- You may need discrete support on individual aspects of corporate finance, longer-term strategic planning, modelling or transaction execution.
- Or else you may just be looking for some fresh thinking on the consumer, media or tech sectors.
- We provide exceptional technical expertise combined with a deep understanding of the dynamics of buying and investing in brands.
