Our investment funding is more than providing money. We enable entrepreneurs to start and build their businesses to achieve sustained growth over the long term. James Caan CBE and his investment team each personally invest when you do, making our investment a true partnership.
Mentoring is a critical part of the development of an entrepreneur. Our partners benefit from leadership advice from James Caan CBE, our senior management team, and other CEOs across the portfolio who have experience in successfully building their own businesses.
All aspects of finance are supported by our team of specialist finance professionals from accounting, to payroll, budget forecasting, and monthly management reporting. The finance team delivers ongoing operational support, as well as coordinating and overseeing the annual audits conducted by BDO.
A brand and marketing strategy is critical in launching your brand in a saturated market and gives our partners a competitive edge in winning business. We support each of our investments through choosing a company name, branding, designing a website, growing your social media audiences, and delivering impactful marketing campaigns.
We've invested in world-class, fully integrated CRM, HR, and back-office technology platforms to support all recruitment and marketing activities, that are customised to deliver for each business. Each portfolio partner is also supported by our IT team who keep things running smoothly, securely, and efficiently, regardless of whether you want to work in an office or remotely.
We have a dedicated operations function to support the business and negotiate group deals with key suppliers to reduce individual business costs. We implement best-practice strategies, platforms, and processes to ensure everything runs efficiently, allowing our partners to focus on running their business.
Our in-house team of legal professionals provides a full suite of services to support our portfolio partners in setting up and scaling their business. They offer advice on a wide range of matters, and are able to review restrictive covenants, assist with M&A terms, and are the first point of contact for any difficult HR matters.
We are committed to supporting our businesses to find the best talent through our best in class headhunting function. We assist all our portfolio partners in attracting top talent and have helped them make numerous senior hires that would usually be out of reach for a start-up. Our management team uses its extensive network to support you in building both your candidate and employee talent pool.
A significant part of achieving growth is training and development. All consultants within the portfolio businesses receive tailored training from accredited recruitment experts and leadership training is provided for the rising stars. Founding partners attend offsite management days and James Caan CBE, himself, as part of their development.
