Why use Five?
- What you see is what you get. Partners work exclusively on deals, so we won’t delegate your transaction to less experienced members of the firm. We are all business owners ourselves and have invested in many of the companies we have helped others to acquire. We recognise there is no substitute for experience and commitment.
- We are independent Corporate Financiers, which means we won’t try and sell you additional services such as audit or tax and we avoid conflicts of interests. It also means we are able to develop excellent relationships with the best complimentary professional advisors such as Lawyers, Tax Consultants, and providers of Due Diligence services to help assemble the right team of advisors for you.
- We don’t have long reporting lines which means we cut out the bureaucracy and focus entirely on our clients.
- Our fees are mostly contingent on a successful outcome and in acquisitions and fundraisings we are often happy to invest alongside our clients.
- We have excellent relationships with a broad spectrum of debt and equity providers to make sure we can source the right financial structure for any transaction.
- Many of our clients retain our services post transaction and in some cases we have been invited to join the board as Non Executive Director to help with the further development of the business.
