Venture
Advice
Our strategic and corporate finance advisory skills and
operational management experience combine particularly well
when we advise young, high growth companies. Our breadth of
business backgrounds and experience of operating with many
companies, particularly in technology and the media, enable
us to:
- Try to
ensure that the business plan does not contain the seeds
of failure
- Help
senior management teams
identify the key drivers of success
- Advise
on the unexpected blows which high growth companies seem
to feel more than most
- Make
available a range of high level contacts within other
businesses to create value
Through Barchester Group Limited we are able to advise on the more conventional issues such as raising
funds, relationships with investors and how to maximise the
financial value of the company.
In certain
circumstances, we are prepared to back our advice
financially by receiving payment for advice in shares in the
client. When we do this, our usual approach is to agree a
very long term and broad advisory mandate in return for a
once-off share of the equity of the client. Our venture
clients can then turn to us without feeling that the fee
clock is ticking.
In
such circumstances, we would not normally join the board of the
client. This preserves our impartiality and
objectivity.
