VALUE REALISATION
Maximise the value you’ve built – now and in the future
Building a valuable business that delivers great work for clients is only part of the journey
Realising the value you’ve created in your firm — whether through a leadership transition, an exit, a merger or some other capital event — requires strong preparation and solid execution.
In our experience, the path to maximising returns starts long before you reach the deal table. Achieving maximum value requires much more than a great set of financial numbers. You need to understand what investors are looking for and what drives valuations. You need to anticipate potential pitfalls and get ahead of them early.
At Garwood Growth, we help professional services firms realise value by preparing for and navigating capital events. We help you build a compelling story of past performance and future potential, all backed up by sound evidence and a credible team.
Perhaps most importantly, we give you and your team the confidence and skills you need navigate processes successfully and lock in the value you’ve worked so hard to build.
How we help leaders and investors realise value
Long-term preparation
Ideally starting well in advance of a capital event, we help assess business readiness and address gaps that could reduce valuation or disrupt a transaction.
Pre-transaction value enhancement
We help leaders take early action to increase your valuation and build your investment story. Using the Garwood Value Builder, we help you strengthen areas that will increase your EBIDTA and multiple and avoid common valuation drags.
Transaction support
We provide hands-on guidance through capital events, from creating market interest to preparing investor materials, supporting due diligence and structuring deals.
Post-transaction value delivery
After a deal has closed, we help businesses deliver on the promises made in the investment case and create value during the next phase of growth — both organically and through further M&A.
