Business Angels
In addition to funds, angel investors can often provide valuable management advice and important contacts. This is particularly relevant in the so called turnaround market, where additional experience and management expertise can be as important as the capital required for the business.

fund raising process ourselves or pass you through to our sister

The size of insolvency practice you may need will usually be determined the size of your borrowings with your bank and/or asset based lender.

Specialised Property Maintenance Contractor Our client provides any maintenance or refurbishment services for care homes, in particular for those for troubled children. Contracts are in place with a number of companies delivering provisions for the public sector.
Whilst the profits were good the business has always been under-capitalised, and was being constrained in its growth by a severe shortage of cash. By early 2009 it became clear that the normal avenues for borrowing money were not available to our client until they had addressed the underlying weakness in the balance sheet (Our client had built-up the company from nothing to a turnover of over £1million in three years on an initial capital investment of just £30,000!).

Manufacturer Of Extruded Plastic Products Our client is a plastic extrusion moulding business founded in the 1950s. Under the second generation of family management, turnover had dropped to £2,000,000. Despite an Invoice Financing facility of £200,000 and the Managing Director having injected more than £600,000, the business faced acute problems. The business was losing money and losing clients. Limited sales effort meant the factory was operating at only 30% capacity. It was near breaching an agreement for late payment of £45,000 of VAT.
Beer & Young quickly found three separate interested parties. The successful investor had interests in the sector and was confident he could bring new business into the firm. £220,000 was injected into the business Continue Reading
Targeted Advertising In Surgeries And Hospitals At our initial meeting with the MD it became very clear that the situation they were in was very serious and that the company urgently needed to install more screens, greatly improve advertising sales and take drastic action on costs. They were already taking some action to reduce costs, but were nevertheless 'burning' cash at the rate of at least £35,000 per month.
Having considered all the available options (Investment, CVA or Pre-Pack Administration) we felt that this was a business that would be attractive to investors and we therefore quickly prepared our Business Summary for approaching selected investors and issued anonymous details of the opportunity via our weekly Stop Press, which is circulated to our entire network. Meetings were rapidly arranged with four interested investors and the client quickly ended up with two offers. The investment was in excess of £500,000 and key staff were retained and absorbed into the new company. Continue Reading
