Approach
The Ark team has over a century of combined investment and commercial experience that includes a stellar portfolio of capital funding projects, mergers and acquisitions, MBO's, complete buyouts, recovery capital and equity release transactions.
We are passionate about our specialist sectors and is why our approach is uniquely tailored to help the business owners realise their commercial aspirations.
STRATEGIC ACQUISITION
Ark Invest specialises in helping one company identify and purchase another with a view to amalgamate their combined operational capabilities to both minimise infrastructural overheads and to maximise profits. Acting as an independent consultancy facilitating the interests of our clients, the Ark team assist with all facets of the acquisition through to completion.
MANAGEMENT BUYOUTS
Ark Invest work in partnership with management teams to purchase a business outright and to provide revised ownership structures and incentives for new shareholders. Management buyouts are an efficient vehicle by which to transfer ownership from retiring or inactive founders, or from a corporate parent to the current management team.
LIQUIDITY RELEASE
Business founders, owners and shareholders can raise significant capital by selling a proportion of their shares, whilst still maintaining control of the company. Ark Invest help devise and implement liquidity release strategies to ensure stakeholders can realise both their professional and personal ambitions without losing ownership of their businesses; these include acquisition growth or retiring shareholder pay-off.
STRATEGIC ADVICE
Drawing on the extensive experience and advice of the Ark team, we help businesses prepare for acquisition, investment or sale. Throughout this critical preparatory phase, our consultants supports the management teams by devising customised strategies which both strengthen company value and enhance the opportunity of realising the business objectives and aspirations.
