Practice
Sell-side, part-sale and capital raises for mid-market businesses — run as a process, closed on the ground.
The thesis
A broadcast process tells the whole market the owner is selling and rarely surfaces the buyer who values the asset most. We run sell-side and part-sale mandates as discovery: a short, qualified list of strategic and financial buyers approached with a clear thesis.
The work is the same whether the outcome is a full sale, a part-sale to release capital, a recapitalisation, or a growth round. Position the business honestly, build a data room that survives diligence, manage the process, and structure a deal that actually closes.
We also take on founder fundraising and M&A mandates — raises and exits for growth companies. It is real work we are glad to do; it is not what defines the firm.
Engagement modules
An honest read of the business and a short, qualified list of strategic and financial buyers or investors — approached discreetly, with a thesis they recognise.
A data room built to survive diligence, an information rhythm that keeps buyers engaged, and process management that protects the owner's negotiating position.
Term sheets, structure and price, worked alongside your counsel and tax advisers. We frame the trade-offs; you make the call.
Diligence management through to signing, plus the practical transition planning that keeps the business intact after the deal.
