Selling Your Business

We provide an end-to-end business sale service from discovery and learning the business, through to preparing materials, data room, target outreach plans, full deal negotiation, due diligence management and transaction/legal process support.

Using our network of financial, tax and legal experts, we have advised and worked with many PropTech firms over the years, often being referred by previous clients, industry leaders or Venture Capitalists. Being fully focused on PropTech, ConTech and BuildingsTech, we have a deep knowledge of the sector and know which trade buyers and private equity investors are in the market.

Selling Your Business

Acquiring A Business

We have advised and worked with major PropTech companies and investment firms in acquiring businesses or products in our space.

As part of a proactive buy-side approach, we offer guidance and support to clients seeking complementary acquisitions, including origination services, market mapping, long and short target listings, specfiic target unlocking, arms-length negotiation, and due diligence and transactional support.

Our experience, relationships, and contacts are invaluable in helping buyers and investors identify and unlock potential cross-sell opportunities, cement market positions and open up additional markets, benefit from acquisition synergies, and onboard technical talent and industry-leading technologies.

Acquiring A Business

Raise Growth Capital

We can help those scaling up, or established and later stage companies, to secure growth funding. Be it for new organic initiatives, opening up or expansion into new markets or product lines, funding an acquition strategy,  rationalising your cap table, or simply releasing some equity, providing liquidity and ‘taking chips off the table’, there is an investment strategy or structure for everyone.

Growing interest in PropTech, and the broader real estate and buildings technology sector, has drawn in several new funding sources, such as private equity, venture capital and VCT fund managers over the years. Many established real estate firms are also looking to invest in aligned proptech with a number establishing Corporate Venture Capital teams too.

We work with business owners, investors and leaders, on longer term business planning, and in sourcing the right structure and type of capital needed to fund these initiatives. Our practical experience and industry contacts ensure we have access to a broad range of options.

MBO

We can assist management teams looking to effect an MBO with the support of a private equity partner. We have a network of relationships within the small-cap PE firms, in the UK, US and Europe, who look for such opportunities to partner with management and operational teams, to provide on-going financial support for growth.

VCT and Corporate VC

As you reach product/market fit and look to scale on your growth journey, we can support you with finding the right investment partner. We have a network of relationships with later stage VC firms, VCT fund managers and real estate industry companies and CVC’s making minority investments into scaling proptech businesses.

Private Equity

Whether to fund expansion into new markets or product lines, fund organic general growth or inorganic growth through acquisitions, or simply to ‘take some chips off the table’, bringing on board a private equity partner to fund these initiatives is a well trodden path and a natural choice for many.

Advisory & Consultancy

While we specialise in selling companies and the broader M&A activity, we also provide strong advisory and consultancy services whether standalone, ad-hoc, or more often as part of a wider M&A process.

As part of nurturing long-term buy-side relationships, we work with investors and PropTech companies looking to better understand the market, specific verticals or companies, or to support them on a process with due diligence activity.

We also work with business owners and management teams, sometimes on an ongoing basis, many of whom have been with us for some years. Through our years of extensive operational, financial, accounting and strategic experience, combined with specific in-depth market and industry knowledge, we can help develop longer term strategies and keep leaders focused on end games.

Often simply used as a sounding board for entrepreneurs and business founders, we can give an honest and transparent, unbiased assessment of the business and work through potential opportunities and strategies. We are flexible and can tailor our advisory services to suit requirements.
