№ 02 — The Practice

The Enterprise & Investor Practice.

Sixteen disciplines, one practitioner, and a network of business professionals, entrepreneurs, investors and commercial landlords — assembled to meet the needs of organisations at every stage of their cycle.

A feather quill resting on aged ledger pages — the materials of careful counsel.

Pl. II  ·  The ledger

  1. § 01

    Business Acquisitions

    Sourcing, valuation and negotiation for principals seeking to acquire established businesses on agreed terms. Confidential approaches; orderly diligence; clean completion.

  2. § 02

    Business Sale & Purchase

    Discreet exit for owners — valuation, qualification of buyers, negotiation and completion, conducted without alarming staff, customers or counterparties. Equally, the buy-side mandate done with the same care.

  3. § 03

    Equity — Purchase & Sale

    Equity transactions structured for tax-efficiency, continuity and the preservation of relationships — among shareholders, with successors, across families.

  4. § 04

    Expansion Advice

    Counsel for owners of growing concerns — whether the next step is a second site, a first hire of seniority, or the acquisition of a competitor.

  5. § 05

    Start-up & Seed Funding

    Introductions to angels, family offices and patient capital for founders whose proposition warrants careful patronage rather than speculative investment.

  6. § 06

    Rescue & Alternatives to Liquidation

    Discreet, time-pressed support for businesses in difficulty — stabilisation, refinancing, and the orderly alternatives to company liquidation, where any alternative remains.

  7. § 07

    Restructuring

    Capital and operational reorganisation for businesses that have outgrown — or undergrown — their earlier shape. Cost, leadership, debt or model: identified, addressed, and put right.

  8. § 08

    Transformation

    For boards undertaking strategic change of substance — model, market or mandate — we provide steady advice and quiet board-level support throughout.

  9. § 09

    MBI & MBO

    Management buy-ins and buy-outs assembled with care — leadership, capital and counsel as one engagement, structured for an enduring outcome.

  10. § 10

    Commercial Credit Brokerage

    Loans and refinancing — working capital, asset finance, term debt and bridging — drawn from a panel of lenders chosen for terms, not commission.

  11. § 11

    Contract & Legal Assessment

    Preliminary review of the legal posture of a business or transaction, with referrals to suitable counsel for any subsequent instruction.

  12. § 12

    Property Acquisition

    Commercial property acquisition for trading businesses and investors alike — freeholds sourced, transactions negotiated, portfolios assembled.

  13. § 13

    Leasehold, Licence & Rental

    Lease, licence and rental agreements for trading premises — negotiated, restructured or terminated, with attention to the covenant on either side.

  14. § 14

    Franchise Development

    Advisory for franchisors building networks and franchisees evaluating opportunity — with attention to the unit economics that make either side prosper.

  15. § 15

    Qualified Opportunities

    For investors and operators alike — qualified business and investor opportunities, presented to mandate. We meet the principal, walk the floor and read the accounts before any introduction is made.

  16. § 16

    Management Advice & Consultancy

    Operational counsel where it is asked for and not where it is not — sharply scoped, sparingly delivered, and discontinued the moment its purpose is met.

Consultation

Tell us the matter, in confidence.

Initial consultations are without charge or obligation. We respond within one business day; mark urgent matters as such, and they shall be answered first.
