Arrange an introduction
If you are a successful industry leader and have either grown tired making money for others or working in an environment where you aren’t able to build what you want, we can help.
If you are a successful leader within a sponsor-backed business and wish to work in a climate where you set your own agenda and own upto 100% of the business you run, we can help.
If you are a senior leader in a successful owner-managed business and wish to take full responsibility for running the business you know so well, we can help you to buy-out the owner.
If you lead a company that is part of a larger listed group but don’t feel you get the support or capacity to develop your business to its fullest, we can help you buy that business from its parent.

Industry – Road haulage
We supported a seasoned industry CEO on leaving a highly reputable private equity sponsor, having taken the business from loss-making to significantly profitable over three years our client wanted to work for himself. We found, negotiated and funded a management buy-in for a seasoned niche haulier, which our client now owns 100%. We will continue to support him on a buy-and-build strategy to take the brand national.
Industry – Hazardous Waste
We enabled second line leadership to buy-out the 20yr incumbent owner. Having built and delivered industry leading growth and profitability, the vendor got a great price on exit and knew that his business (which felt like a family member) would be looked after. Management have now been liberated and fully rewarded to take the business onto its next phase of development.
Industry - financial services
With high-net-worth shareholders having taken majority control of our clients business, we led a refinance and capital restructure that allowed incumbent management to regain control. Our deal allowed management to widen the equity incentives offered to the remaining Board members, ensuring that key staff were retained and incentivised.
