Rose Equity Partners possesses a deep understanding of the challenges businesses of this size face, having been in this position ourselves and helped many successful start-ups overcome these challenges. Crucially, we also know the exact steps that are needed to build a repeatable sales process and scale revenue from ~£2M to £7M+.

We will work alongside the existing management team as growth partners to develop effective and actionable playbooks, implement effective growth strategies and help the founders achieve measurable milestones to significantly increase future shareholder value.

 

 

 

 

Preparing for an exit and/or founder succession

Common Challenges

The business has reached a mature level of profitability, but growth has plateaued and the founder is looking to either:

  • Scale beyond their existing limitations.
  • Grow through acquisitions.
  • Exit the business.

Team Size

Typically more than 25 f/t employees, with existing management teams in place.

As active members of the M&A community, we understand the intricacies that come with preparing for a successful exit or positioning the business for growth funding.

With a focus on optimising your financials and operations, along with close collaboration with your existing management team, Rose Equity Partners will work to develop compelling exit narratives and position your business favourably in the market to maximise value.

This may include:

  Fine-tuning your sales operations.

  Introducing additional revenue streams.

  Optimising your business for profitability.

  Aligning with potential competitor acquirers.

The final acquisition can be made by our network of SME investors, a third party with industry experience, or directly to Rose Equity Partners.
