Equity solutions
We aim to take the hassle out of sourcing investment and finance for established businesses, either to fund growth or assist with cash flow issues or with distressed situations.
We specialise in working in highly charged and time sensitive environments and have an impressive record of successfully introducing equity investors to UK businesses.
Typically or team will help SMEs who require between £50,000 and £500,000. This can be for growth purposes or to assist with a stressed or distressed trading issue.
