“With a very strong balance sheet, we had the desire to raise finance and capital to grow the business and were introduced to Paul Kaiser and the UNW Corporate Finance team to do an option analysis, who then provided us with a wide range of options. We eventually decided to go with the Business Growth Fund (BGF) and UNW led the process to a success conclusion. We eventually decided to enter an off-market deal with Novacap, a major French company. As managers, we needed to concentrate on the day-today running of the business and UNW’s support was invaluable. It’s been a fantastic working relationship!”

I bought a dental practice for the first time and really needed good help and advice. I found the dental business unit team at UNW to be extremely knowledgeable in all aspects related to the purchase and they were able to guide me through the process very easily. They were particularly helpful in drawing up a robust business plan and calculating a suitable price to offer the vendor. Alan Suggett was always contactable if advice was needed and he also introduced me to very experienced people in areas such as banking, insurance cover and legal matters.

As part of the process of divestment from non-core activities Gentoo engaged UNW as advisers in early 2015. We have worked closely with them on three transactions and have been impressed with their insight, professionalism and dedication. The team were hands on and quickly got to know the businesses and the key drivers behind the transactions, this approach proved to be invaluable as the transactions have progressed.
