Our approach is to work alongside our clients as part of an extended team. We work time and again for the same clients, helping to build their business and its value. As required, we also work on single transactions, typically the sale of a business. We draw on knowledge, skills and research information from other parts of NYGT to provide a robust and rich service, delivered in an open, approachable, pragmatic and joined-up way.
Much of our work centers on supporting entrepreneurs and owner-managed businesses. We feel we understand the opportunities, threats, pressures and excitements that surround the mid-size private business - this is our core market. Typically, as the relationship develops, we might end up working closely with the client over a number of years and through different phases of growth:
To provide a more complete service we have, within our extended team, consultancy expertise to help with post-deal integration and investment managers to help grow personal wealth.
▲ TopTeams involved in management buy-outs and buy-ins face very specific challenges as they analyze the opportunity, negotiate the deal, take over the business and then work with new Board comprising investors with high expectations.
We work in these situations frequently and have the understanding and experience to guide the client. We also have the contacts and credibility to help secure finance and a well-negotiated end position. We then look beyond the signing of the deal and can support the client in handling management and growth challenges over the early years.
▲ TopWe have specific partners in supporting companies on AIM, SGX and AMEX and in bringing companies to AIM, SGX and AMEX. We understand both the complexities and the opportunities, such as introducing new incentives, reporting processes, governance structures and ways of managing investor relationships.
▲ TopAs a firm we are close to the market - from both a lender and an investor perspective. Therefore we are particularly well placed to work with venture capitalists, private equity firms and banks – using our research to understand the market; finding acquisition targets; helping to manage portfolios through merger, disposal and acquisition; and providing strong transaction support and due diligence.
▲ TopA strong differentiator is the long-term partnerships we build with our clients. We are frequently involved in the strategic issues faced by the board. We can:
When deals are done, we provide expert post-deal support, for example, to integrate an acquisition.
This takes the form of practical support to the board in areas such as people issues and planning and performance measurement.
▲ TopWe can provide the client with practical advice at every stage of the acquisition process:
If the client is considering disposal perhaps to streamline the operations, plan retirement, or just to respond to an attractive offer, we can help the client to assess options and optimize company's value.
If the client is not ready to sell yet but would like some advice about exit planning, we can help explore the options available and recommend the best strategy for the needs.
▲ TopManagement buy-outs (MBOs) and management buy-ins (MBIs) are complex transactions that require a high level of technical expertise and can be time-consuming.
If the client is considering disposal perhaps to streamline the operations, plan retirement, or just to respond to an attractive offer, we can help the client to assess options and optimize company's value.
Although exciting and with lots of potential, the transactions can also be full of risk for the MBO team. Our team will help the clients realize the deal on their terms and support them in the early months and years to address the many pressures that arise.
