Many successful businesses reach a stage where external funding is required to achieve their objectives. Specialist knowledge and relationships are essential when exploring potential sources, including private equity, debt, asset-based lending and angel investors.

There can be many reasons for seeking an exit and it is essential that the process is carefully and professionally managed throughout, from planning, to identifying buyers, to negotiations and structure, and finally, completing the deal.

Many of the key moments in the lifecycle of a business - such as making an acquisition, targeting growth, managing change or refinancing - require experienced and tailored support to develop strategies which lay the foundations for future success.

MBOs and MBIs can be complex and time-intensive transactions and management teams need to assemble a capable and resourceful team of experts around them in order to maintain control and momentum as the deal progresses.
