Business plan acceleration

By providing access to new capital, joint venture products will allow you to accelerate medium to long-term business plans involving either product or geographical expansion.

Long-term partnership

In providing equity, we appreciate the need for long-term commitment. Accordingly, we will match your commitment to creating value over a substantial period, differentiating us from most other equity providers. We believe that an investment in our target sectors should provide joint venture partners with annual returns. We also believe it should be capable of realisation through refinance or exit within a period of up to 10 years.

Process and cost efficiencies

Having access to the full range of financial products through a single transaction team is a key benefit. The negotiation process and project costs are streamlined as a direct result.

Reduced weighted average cost of capital

The structure of the joint venture vehicle often avoids the requirement to fully consolidate the venture's results in our partners' accounts. The returns achieved through a successful joint venture often combine to reduce the weighted average cost of capital of any core business. In part, this is due to the leveraged nature of the joint venture vehicle.

Reputation

We have an enviable reputation for innovation and our ability to deliver in the corporate finance market. When you embark on a joint venture with us, you can have absolute confidence, both in the quality of our service delivery and the added value we bring.

Exit strategy

We have a flexible approach to exit strategy. Our extensive market contacts mean that, while we may introduce exit opportunities for you to consider, any exit is ultimately driven by our partners.
