The same can be said for the M&A sector, albeit with more obstacles lining the path to success – after all, there’s much to be said for name recognition, and a recognised brand when it comes to organising or managing deals of any size. Venture Corporate Finance has swiftly made its mark on the incredibly competitive arena by endeavouring to deliver clear, expert, transparent M&A advisory services that, simply, delivers, meeting – if not exceeding – expectations. Here, Gary offers more insight into the firm’s competitive edge, “We offer the most effective M&A solution within our niche marketplace that places the shareholders first and foremost enabling us to deliver exception service, as well as effective M&A solutions and transactions that conclude within 7 months.” This niche industry in which Venture Corporate Finance operates is the IT, Telecoms and Software as a Service (SaaS) markets, and more specifically those businesses that achieve £1m to £20m of turnover. “We do not engage with a seller until we have all agreed the valuation of the company and the readiness of the business for sale. Ultimately, we deliver what we promise to our clients. When we engage with a seller we know that we are highly likely to complete a transaction and we do not charge a penny until we deliver on that outcome.” By building a reputation through transparency and efficiency, Venture Corporate Finance is securing its position as one of the most promising new businesses to enter the global M&A market in quite some time. Its success speaks for itself, as Gary concludes. “In our first year of operation we have started from a zero start to completing 7 transactions within a 12-month period. Proving our model, our service and reach.” Best Communications Business Sale 2022 (UK): ADSI Ltd. - ADSI Limited Business Sale UK Jul 07, 2022 We first met with the client in January 22 and quickly won the sale mandate over competitors who had been in the sector for 15+ years. Our process was very clearly communicated, our fees were competitive, and we set a very clear timetable for each stage. T M&A is a difficult industry to gain a foothold in. By all regards, it’s not common for a business to enter the industry and immediately make an impact. But that’s exactly what Venture Corporate Finance has achieved. Following its success in the 2022 programme, we spoke with Managing Director Gary Smith to find out more. Oct22613 Venture Corporate Finance
