What we offer
A way to de-risk
Launching a business is exciting, but it is a big step in moving from a steady pay cheque to the uncertainty of entrepreneurship. We can provide the security of having your initial costs covered as the business gets on its feet – whilst also having the investment to build critical mass and gain momentum.
Business planning and budgeting
We can help you prepare a business plan and with budgeting. Modelling your numbers and scenario testing will give you the confidence that you are in control, allowing you to react quickly to market changes, both good and bad.
Patient capital
Recruitment businesses are cyclical, and fee income can be lumpy and unpredictable. We understand the sector and have experienced this. We invest patient capital, seeking sustainable growth without looking to set aggressive and unrealistic targets.
A trusted advisor network
High quality advisors can make the difference in the early years of a business but can be very difficult to find. Our network of advisors can provide the foundations, minimise the controllable risk and maximise profitability.
A way to maintain autonomy
We're not here to tell you what to do. We invest in people we like, with ambitious plans. We support your vision and will only get involved if we believe we can add value.

“Graham believed in us and has been a driving force in our journey so far. It’s not just the investment that has helped us come into our own, our long-term partnership and the quality of the advice has been invaluable. We’ve benefited from the balance of support and stretch, and the depth of knowledge around strategic planning, budgeting and corporate finance. Any start-up is challenging, but it has been a really fun and rewarding experience, working with like minds.”
