The clients we work with – and why
The clients Initium can help the most are ambitious entrepreneurs who are looking to deliberately build the value in their businesses. Their reasons for sale are generally growth and change oriented.
Whatever sector you operate in, and regardless of the type of business you run, our experience of hundreds of completed transactions tells us this: if you’re on the path to exploring your growth and exit options, it’s highly likely you’ll agree with one – or more! – of the following statements:
- I can’t keep up with current client demand
- I want to change my work/life balance
- I want to realise the full value from the business I have built
- I want to take some chips off the table and de-risk the future of the business
- I want to secure the legacy of the business for my staff
- I want to do something different, and pursue new opportunities
Business? It’s all about people!
Working with an advisor is not just about finding someone with the technical ability to deliver a transaction for you. It’s also about the ‘people fit’. Let’s be totally honest: selling a business can be a hard slog, and you’re almost certainly going to experience some challenges, and testing moments along the way. As well as trust, fundamentally you need to have rapport with your advisor. You need to like them, as well as respect them.
Here’s how we’d describe our ideal customer – does this sound like you?
You’re ambitious – you’re looking to maximise the full potential of your privately owned business
You’re entrepreneurial – a disruptor… forward thinking and focused on growth
You’re committed – you want to build a legacy for your business, find the best home for your staff, and the best service for your clients
You’re open-minded – you know your business, and we know ours. Embracing different ways of thinking, and new approaches is the key to us working together
We share values – as a business we’re committed to supporting our clients, colleagues and the wider community, to create enduring positive outcomes for all
You want a partner, not a service provider – we believe that business is all about people. We look to build lasting, long-term relationships with our clients, who become friends when working with us, and stay friends long after…
