It’s always a pleasure to be able to help business owners take forward steps, whether small or significant. We continue to raise capital on behalf of business owners, many of whom are in difficult situations but are fully confident that new investment will allow them to achieve their goals, and without the need for any formal process.   We are sharing two examples of past completions where management buy-outs have successfully taken place and we are also sharing recent developments for our client in Legal-Tech.

We’re seeking one or two associates to grow our team at BYC! 
We are looking to take on Associates in the next couple of months and would be pleased to hear from anyone you recommend who you feel may be suitable. Most colleagues tend to be at the latter part of their career and like the idea of a self-employed role with an opportunity to turn the flow of work off and on, depending on their lifestyle and other work patterns. We see the years ahead offering a rich opportunity for key people who fit into our culture.

Shareholder buyout for London Restaurant   Our client has one of the busiest and most popular restaurant sites in borough market.   This was a buy-out of the non-active founding majority shareholder to help the hands-on driver of the day-to-day business who is also a founder shareholder but in a minority.   We found an ideal investor who not only was happy to offer full price to the outgoing shareholder, and the key entrepreneur gained a controlling interest in his business.

Acoustic Manufacturer turned around with £1,500,000 capital Trading since 1890, Our client is a leading thermal and acoustic insulation product manufacturer. They made several acquisitions in the 1990s, but turnover levels had stagnated at £14m and the business needed restructuring to be competitive and profitable.  Initially they sought a cash injection to rationalise current operations and to de-leverage the balance sheet to drive future profitability and growth, but the existing shareholders wanted out.   We delivered the right investor. The existing shareholders were bought out and new capital was invested in the business to deliver future growth.
