Capital Raising

We have experience in advising on raising either debt or equity between £2 million to £500 million.

Our network of capital providers covers UK and international investors and debt providers including private equity funds, pension funds, debt funds, hedge funds, real estate funds, banks, family offices and wealthy individuals. These investors and debt providers have the ability to provide growth capital, replacement capital (including cash-out), development capital, mezzanine finance and senior debt.

 

Navigating this market, understanding their investment or lending criteria, process and ensuring that you are dealing with the appropriate person can be difficult and time consuming for management and business owners. Our experience enables us to quickly identify which type of fund, bank, family offices or even wealthy individual would be appropriate for your circumstances.

 

Preparation is key to a successful outcome. We spend a significant amount of time with management and owners preparing your business for a capital raising event. In particular, we identify and deal with any issues, very early in the process, which could potentially jeopardise a transaction or cause a capital provider to significantly alter their terms, security or covenants. We also spend a considerable amount of time helping management craft a business plan as a basis upon which capital can realistically be committed.

 

The depth of experience of our Partners has resulted in us developing a global network with access to and relationships with potential investors and debt providers around the world. In addition to our global network, we also have an ongoing research programme to help us identify new funds raised and new entrants to the banking market.

 

Negotiating the terms of an investment or debt package can be very complicated. It is important that you select the best team possible with the relevant experience to advise you. As owners of our own business we empathise with you and approach every transaction with the same level of care and diligence as we would our own business, ensuring that you receive the exact amount of capital on the best possible terms under the most appropriate structure for their circumstance.

 

Our legal and tax partners are always on standby to get involved at any stage to ensure you are covered from both a legal and tax perspective.

About our services

 

Most of our business comes through referrals from other professionals and former clients.  

 

On a number of occasions we have sold businesses to people who in turn become long term clients of ours and we have even gone on to invest alongside some of them.

 

As professionals and business owners, the key to our success is earning clients’ trust and delivering results.

 

We are persistent in our approach, exploring all options, and we believe we go further than most corporate advisers in adding and creating value for our clients.

 

To maintain our reputation for delivering exceptional professional service we ensure that all client engagements are Partner led.
