How we workEngagement models

One process. Several ways in.

A disciplined process for every transaction — and a choice of engagement models, so the way we work fits the deal rather than the other way round.

Advisory team in a meeting

The process

From first call to completion.

Six stages, adapted to each transaction. You always know where the process stands and what happens next.

  1. 01

    Confidential conversation

    A first, no-obligation discussion. We listen, ask the difficult questions early and tell you honestly whether — and how — we can help.

  2. 02

    Assessment

    We review the business or asset, the numbers and the realistic options: sale, partner, refinancing or capital raise. Non-disclosure agreements are in place before any detail is shared.

  3. 03

    Preparation

    Equity story, teaser, information memorandum, model review and data room — prepared to the standard serious counterparties expect.

  4. 04

    Market approach

    A curated list of investors, lenders or acquirers — approached in a controlled sequence that protects confidentiality and creates competition.

  5. 05

    Negotiation & closing

    We manage offers, term sheets and due diligence, and stay with you through documentation to signing and completion.

  6. 06

    Beyond the close

    Many relationships continue: follow-on financing, add-on acquisitions or the next stage of the company’s growth.

Two client channels

One side of the table at a time.

We work with those seeking capital and with those providing it — and confirm in writing, for every transaction, which side we act for. The fee basis follows the mandate, the jurisdiction and the regulatory requirements that apply.

A · Capital seekers

Sponsors, companies & owners

Project sponsors · Companies · Business owners

  • Paid transaction-readiness assessment
  • Fixed-fee structuring and documentation assignments
  • Retainer plus success fee for eligible advisory mandates
  • Co-advisory arrangements for larger transactions

B · Capital providers

Investors & acquirers

Family offices · Funds · Strategic investors · Acquirers

  • Investment-mandate sourcing
  • Acquisition-target identification
  • Preliminary opportunity screening
  • Dedicated origination mandates against defined investment criteria

Engagement models

Choose how we work together.

Every engagement is confirmed in a written letter that sets out scope, fees and confidentiality before any work begins.

Standards

What you can expect from us.

The terms change from deal to deal. These do not.

01

Confidentiality first

Non-disclosure agreements are signed before sensitive information is shared, and counterparties are approached only with your approval.

02

Transparent fees

Fees, fee-shares and introduction arrangements are disclosed and agreed in writing. No hidden retrocessions.

03

The right licence for the job

Where a transaction requires a regulated entity — for example to arrange a securities offering — that part of the work is carried out by an authorised partner firm.

Let’s find the model that fits your deal.

Describe the transaction in a few lines; we will suggest the most sensible way to work together.
