Capital providers ยท Buy-side M&A and capital advisory

Capital for acquisitions and growth, matched to your criteria.

We introduce funds, family offices, sponsors and corporates to buy-side mandates and growth-capital opportunities that match their written criteria, after the information has been checked. Transactions typically $50 million and above.

Who this is for

Growth and credit funds, private equity and infrastructure sponsors, family offices and corporates that provide equity, co-investment or structured capital for acquisitions and growth, particularly in AI, digital and critical infrastructure.

What you tell us

Your mandate, once, in writing. We update it when it changes.

  • Sectors and sub-sectors you will and will not consider
  • Size range: cheque size and total transaction size
  • Control, minority, co-invest or structured capital
  • Geographies
  • Stage and profile of the buyer and the target
  • Return and structure requirements you want us to screen against
  • Timing and approvals needed
  • Who receives introductions

What you receive

  1. A fit note first. An anonymised description of the opportunity against your criteria. No company names.
  2. Your yes or no. If yes, both sides sign the NDA.
  3. A prepared package in an access-controlled data room: the buyer's rationale and funding plan, information on the target and the key documents.
  4. A managed process through diligence and negotiation to closing.

Every view of the room is logged.

How we screen

  • Identity, ownership and authority of the buyer
  • The target's ownership and the consistency of its financial information
  • Material contracts and change-of-control terms
  • Funding plan and who else is investing
  • Whether the transaction is realistic against your criteria

We do not replace your own diligence or investment judgment.

Fees

Our engagement terms, including fees, are agreed in writing before you commit. Fees are weighted toward completion.
