In the last few years U.K. Private Equity houses have invested significant money in innovative companies set up to exploit their intellectual property. More mature businesses may also require new capital perhaps for an acquisition or to replace, in whole or part, the owner's capital.
Management teams seeking to undertake a buy-out or buy-in ("MBO/MBI") face many challenges including financing the acquisition and managing the changing relationship with their former employers. We can assist you in matching your needs with appropriate sources of capital. We maintain close links with a wide range of investors ranging from venture capitalists, corporate investors, institutions, banks and private individuals. To this we add our directors experience of running a listed company and raising capital to finance numerous M & A transactions.
The Buckingham Corporate Finance team will then manage the process through to a conclusion using our extensive experience to maximise the probability of closing a deal on the agreed terms.
We offer independent advice on who and how best to approach potential investors for companies which match the following criteria:
A funding requirement from £1m upwards
A good management team with a proven track record
Good growth potential, preferably owning the intellectual property used in the business
In a typical fundraising exercise, we act as lead adviser which involves:
Preparing the business plan
Structuring the offer
Identifying and introducing you to potential investors
