Early stage

Entrepreneurial businesses in their initial development phase are typically focused on product/service refinement, market validation, establishing their commercial model and talent recruitment. These businesses are inherently risky but offer high potential rewards for angel investors and venture capital funds. Successful early-stage companies compete effectively for external investment, are inherently innovative and adapt quickly to market changes.

SME / growth

SMEs (Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises) are a vital engine for economic growth and innovation, often driving disruptive change by introducing new technologies, services and creative content.

SMEs are typically looking to scale their businesses through new customer acquisition, new product/service development and geographical expansion. They are often seeking growth capital for specific projects (primary) or private equity to support succession (secondary). We provide our SME clients with relevant, timely advice to allow them to focus on their strategic objectives.
