PRIVATE CAPITAL AND M&A ADVISORY
We guide businesses through strategic growth, capital raising, M&A transactions and restructuring.
Perspective shaped by investment banking,
private credit and private equity.
We bring first-hand lending and investing experience to the strategic, financing and transaction decisions facing your business.
THE CHALLENGE
Business fundamentals are only part of the equation. How you assess value, approach the market and prepare for scrutiny can determine the outcome.
RAISING CAPITAL
Investment memoranda that do not clearly present the investment case, financial models that fail under scrutiny and unresolved risks can lead lenders and investors to decline an otherwise viable opportunity.
SELLING A BUSINESS
Without a credible valuation, the right buyers and a well-managed process, owners risk undervaluing their business or weakening their negotiating position.
MAKING AN ACQUISITION
Strategic fit is only the start. Earnings quality, cash flow, valuation and deal structure must support the price being paid.
SPECIAL SITUATIONS
An unclear liquidity position or delayed engagement with stakeholders can limit the routes available and erode negotiating leverage.
We bring clarity to the decision, rigour to the preparation and discipline to the process.
Discover the firmWHAT WE DO
We help founders and management teams, including those of early-stage and high-growth businesses, assess growth opportunities, funding requirements and strategic alternatives, and develop a clear plan for the next stage.
Explore this serviceWe advise on raising and refinancing capital, debt and equity alike, so that the financing proposition matches the business plan and the terms, maturities and covenants support it rather than constrain it.
Explore this serviceWe interrogate the investment case before a lender or investor does. We identify the questions that will be asked, resolve the issues that cause credit and investment committees to decline, and ensure management can answer each one with evidence.
Explore this serviceWe advise owners and shareholders on selling, from valuation and buyer identification through to completion, running a competitive process so the outcome is set by the market rather than by a single approach.
Explore this serviceAcquisitions are decided by price discipline and by what diligence uncovers. We advise corporates, sponsors, and management teams on target assessment, valuation and structure, and on the debt or equity required to fund the transaction.
Explore this serviceWhere a business is under acute financial pressure the options narrow quickly, and acting early preserves them. We advise businesses and stakeholders on the routes realistically available, whether that is an accelerated distressed M&A sale process, a restructuring, or a negotiated solution with lenders.
