Whether you’re looking to sell all or part of your business, it’s a big decision, with considerable emotional investment. You’ve put so much into building the business and making it a success, so it’s only natural that you want to find a buyer who is as committed to the business as you have been.  

Livingbridge has more than 20 years of experience investing in outstanding fast-growth businesses. Our team takes time to understand where our perspective or expertise can best add value and we focus on empowering management teams to build the best business in their market. 
Being aligned on what that journey looks like is a crucial indicator for success, so we can afford to be fairly flexible in how we structure a deal. We take both minority and majority stakes and work with entrepreneurs to structure the plan that best suits them. 

There are many reasons you may be considering a sale: perhaps you’re looking to fund your retirement, raise capital for a new investment, bring in fresh experience, or move on to a new challenge. Whatever your motivations, we’ll plan a way forward that’s right for you and the business.

But running a business can be lonely, and full of risk. Bringing on an investor. gives you a sounding board and a new perspective, as well as access to new networks and expertise. Many entrepreneurs choose to sell part of their business as they want to retain control but de-risk their financial position.

If you do want to stay on in your business, we’ll empower you to deliver on your ambitions. We won’t tell you what to do, but we’ll make sure you have the tools necessary to make bold decisions for the long term. To achieve this we have designed an in-house team of experts to equip our investees in areas such as M&A, talent or technology.
