Sam Macalister-Smith's viewpoint on helping your clients grow
with investment
13/05/10

I believe there are businesses with growth plans in the
Rhondda Cynon Taf area that could benefit from Finance
Wales' funds and experience.
We're investing in more and more businesses across Wales.
Many of those businesses are referred to us by advisers, such as
yourself, helping their clients find investment.
Are your clients:
- Developing new products and services?
- Planning to expand into new markets or locations?
- Planning to move premises?
- Considering buying a business?
If your clients have robust business plans, we may have the
funds to help them realise their plans.
Working with the experts
You have the local business knowledge. You know what makes
businesses you work with tick.
We have a strong track record of working with business advisers,
banks and accountants in structuring investments.
Working with Finance Wales could help your business grow as well
as your client's.
Type of investment
We've completed a number of development
capital deals across Wales.
We have a strong track record of completing management succession deals. We've helped
businesses continue trading after an owner retires, or when one
shareholder wants to buy out others.
We often co-invest with banks or other commercial or private
investors. We've also structured syndicated investments
for business that have received grants.
