Understand. Invest. Prosper.

Transaction Types

We provide capital and expertise to undertake a variety of transaction types whether you are buying or selling your business.

Are you selling your business?

Do you want to buy a business?

Do you want to grow your business?

Sell your business

If you are ready to sell your business, or a business in your group, we can buy it from you. We work with the incumbent management team, in some cases adding to it, to buy the business from you in absolute confidence. By selling to us you do not have to share with your competitors the intricacies of your business that you have fought so hard to protect.

Sell a part of your business

We will buy a stake in your business. You can:

  • Realise some cash value now in a known tax environment;
  • Maintain a financial investment and active participation in the business; and
  • Have access to capital and our expertise to assist in taking your business to the next level.
Buy your business

The time may have come to move from employment to ownership with the benefits that brings. We can help you initiate discussions with the owners of the business as this is our day job and likely to be new to you. Owning your own business is very different yet incredibly rewarding. If you have the aspiration and belief in the opportunity we can provide the capital and expertise to make it a reality. We work in partnership which is crucial at such a decisive step in your business life.

Buy another business

One of our areas of expertise is providing capital for growth through acquisition. Gresham can support established businesses to acquire one or more companies, either domestically or internationally, to create a valuable group of companies where the whole is worth more than the sum of the parts. This is a specialist area and Gresham has a demonstrable and successful heritage in executing these “buy and build” opportunities.

In the UK

If you want to grow your business by acquiring another company or simply want to grow organically, we can provide the capital to help facilitate it. As well as bringing funding, Gresham has a wealth of expertise having supported many different companies achieve their domestic expansion ambitions.

Overseas

We have helped a number of predominantly UK businesses expand internationally. Taking your business abroad can be extremely rewarding but also potentially daunting. As well as providing the capital, Gresham has a proven track record of internationalisation and can support you every step of the way.
