For Entrepreneurs & Business Owners

We help ambitious tech founders realise the full value of what they have built by bringing expertise, clarity and precision to every deal. We understand this could be the most significant financial event of their lives, and we recognise it is a privilege to advise our clients at such an important time.

Our service is fully ‘end-to-end’, combining strategic advice with hands-on execution, including:

  • Assessing strategic options available and advising on the implications of each

  • Designing the optimum structure of a transaction

  • Preparing a business for a process

  • Identifying domestic and international investors / buyers

  • Marketing the business

  • Advising through diligence and legal negotiations to the close of a transaction

  • Advising high potential and growing businesses on raising primary capital from institutional investors.

  • Minority or majority private equity buyouts, enabling shareholders to partially liquidate some value in their equity, whilst retaining a share of the upside, and introducing an experienced, value-add partner. 

  • Advising on company sales to domestic or international strategic acquirers, navigating the nuances and complexities often encountered.  

  • Advising shareholders on the strategic value drivers 12–24 months ahead of a transaction, to ensuring the business is optimally positioned to maximise value and prepared for a successful process.

    This includes assessing the company’s current positioning, identifying relevant current and future buyers, understanding what drives their acquisition rationale and valuation, and recommending targeted actions to enhance value before a transaction.
