“All businesses reach a crossroads, in our case my business Partner of two decades was retiring and I had a burning ambition and opportunity to scale and internationalise our business. Seeking an investment partner is so much more than the money, it’s about finding an investor who shares your vision, values and has the necessary skills to complement your team. We chose the Grant Thornton to advise us through this process, they quickly understood our business and what we needed. They have a strong understanding of the investor landscape and were able to use this to find us ScaleUp Capital, who are the perfect partner at this critical growth stage. If as founder or CEO you are thinking of going through a process, I’d strongly recommend the Grant Thornton team, they’ll do lots of the heavy lifting, enabling you to focus on building your business. Importantly, as you’d expect, they understand the financial, commercial, and legal aspects of the deal, but they also really get the human-side, that’s a great quality to have on your team through an M&A process”
