Our Process

1. Initial Assessment

We first begin with clients via initial consultation, in which we assess whether a private capital introduction is suitable for the business’s goals and needs.

2. Preparation

We support clients in preparing and structuring the business to be ready for a capital raise, through this process we produce the necessary raise materials with our marketing partner.

3. The Raise

Through our preparation we should have identified the ideal investor for the raise. We structure the raise in a way that reduces the impact on day-to-day operations whilst still ensuring a beneficial outcome. 

4. Exit Planning or Successive Raises

Post-raise we have the ability to support all clients on future raises or to plan an structure an exit plan even if it’s not in the near term.

Discretion

We always maintain the utmost discretion when handling any client interaction.

Efficiency

Consistently being the driving force behind a transaction, managing the timeframe and process.

Data

Utilising our in-house systems and 3rd party data suppliers to research and locate acquirers.

Performing a Valuation

Conducting a business valuation is the initial step in our client engagements, providing a foundational framework for all subsequent activities. The metrics we use for valuation vary depending on the specific type of transaction. For instance, when facilitating a private capital introduction or a minority share sale, we can often achieve a higher valuation. This is primarily because such transactions typically involve minimal changes to the management team, thus presenting less risk to potential investors.
