Guiding
Ambitious CEOs

as you fund, scale and sell your business

Bean Partners guides ambitious CEOs to drive their valuation. For non-traditional CEOs looking for a new way to become champion of their success. 80% of businesses who enter a sale process fail to sell, over 80% of CEOs who work with Bean Partners achieve an offer at least matching, often exceeding their expectations. The image of the skydiver demonstrates the courage our CEOs have, and the parachute represents the support we can provide.

Antony and his Executive Team came to Bean Partners Ventures Limited for support with a capital raise, and the subsequent deployment of that capital in preparation for, and execution of, the business sale. The team’s objectives were to sell to a great buyer, achieving a good outcome for investors and the Executive Team. The business sold to YouGov, achieving all of the teams objectives.

“As Chair, my role is to deal with competing stakeholder priorities, and the buck ultimately stops with me. Bean Partners Ventures Limited helped me personally to be a better diplomat, and more broadly really guided our team through the process. We were able to pin every decision back to the evidence provided by the intelligence, giving us confidence and clarity in our decisions and stakeholder communications."
