Corporate Finance
Our Corporate Finance Ecosystem
No Sector focuses
The focus and reputation of the corporate finance team is primarily directed at entrepreneurs in micro enterprises, small and mid-size private and quoted companies across all industries.
Strategic board advisory
A strong differentiator is the long-term partnerships we build with our clients, both directly through incubated corporate financiers and our Appointed Representative Firms.
Fund raising for micro-enterprises, small and medium enterprises is helping the backbone of the British economy, from working with Angel Networks to Private Equity funds as investors.
As an ecosystem we are frequently involved in advising on the strategic issues faced by the board.
We can:
• help to build value
• bring in ideas, expertise, and contacts.
How we can help with strategic issues
We provide hands-on support in:
- Securing new funding including through our partner and Appointed Representative Firm network
- Business valuations
Our ecosystem is made up of Corporate Finance experts from angel networks to venture capital funds, family offices and Private Equity firms including introducing companies to firms to take them public.
Professional advisors
We work closely with your other professional advisers (including financial and legal advisers) and build long term relationships that provide extra benefit to our clients. In this way we deepen knowledge and provide a more seamless and efficient service on transactions – where experience and close teamwork count for a great deal.
Funding companies
As a firm we are close to the market – from both a corporate finance and an investment management perspective.
Therefore, we are particularly well placed to work with angel networks to venture capitalists, private equity firms and banks, using our research to understand the market; finding acquisition targets; helping to manage portfolios through merger, disposal and acquisition; and providing strong transaction support and due diligence.
Transaction services
Our approach to due diligence often extends beyond conventional checks on forecasts, assets etc.
Using our extensive partner network, we can look more widely, for example at employee benefits, including pensions, tax and commercial reputation.
All of this is aimed at helping you to understand and reduce your risks when structuring a deal or changing strategy.
We identify, early on, the key issues likely to impact the successful conclusion of a deal. Where we do identify problems, we will always try to provide a commercial solution rather than leave a deal to flounder.
