Our aim is to add value to an entrepreneurial business at every stage of its development, providing bespoke solutions and addressing questions and issues raised by clients. Typically this has included the following:

Selling a business

• How do I prepare my business for a sale?
• I have received an unsolicited offer for my business and/or I want to sell my business – what do I do next to ensure I maximise the proceeds and ensure that a deal happens?

Partial sale of a business

• I want to reduce my exposure – how can I unlock some of the value in my business but still retain some upside?

Buying a business

• I am part of a management team running a business and believe that there may be an opportunity to buy the business – how should I proceed?
• I want to acquire a business and may need to raise funding to facilitate this – how should I proceed?
• I want to develop a new product/service but need funding to do so – how do I raise the necessary development capital?

Strategic direction

• I want to develop my business but need to ensure that I ultimately maximise the value – how can I ensure that the strategy I follow will result in this outcome?
