Every company tells a story

Every company tells a story

Every company tells a story; of how it was formed, who played a part in growing it - from investors to employees, past and present - and how the story ended.

Whether you’re starting out, growing or selling up, we’ve got the experience and expertise you need throughout the story of your company.

How we can help

Let's Make Your Investment Round a Success

The fundraising process has its fair share of highs and lows. Fortunately for you, we’ve experienced it all, having helped countless companies to impactfully grow.

Go
Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)

For many businesses, an exit represents the culmination of many years of hard graft.

Go
Corporate Governance

In many ways, corporate governance enables management and the board to effectively deal with the challenges of running a company.

Go
Share Options and Incentives

The marketplace for talent has never been more competitive. Vision, mission and culture are clearly key, but it's also important to consider how employees are incentivised.

Go
Advance Subscription Agreement

An Advance Subscription Agreement (or “ASA”) allows an investor to pay in advance for shares that they will receive at a later date.

Go
Shareholders Agreement

With great power, comes great responsibility. And, in the case of a company’s shareholders, that power needs to be carefully managed and defined.

Go
Convertible Loan Note

For early-stage businesses, cash is king. However, cash is also thin on the ground. Amidst the mammoth work of building a business, you’ll need to consider creative ways of securing finances - without incurring piles of paperwork.

Go
Support with Statutory Books

Statutory books are important records relating to a company’s legal and statutory matters. By law, every UK company needs to keep statutory books, and failure to do so can result in a series of legal issues.

Go
Incorporate a UK Company

You’ve tested your hypothesis, braved the unknown, and decided to launch your own business.

Go
Incorporate a Subsidiary within the UK

You’ve dominated your local market, scaled hurdle after hurdle, and have elected to go global: congratulations!
