Commercial Interior Design and Consultancy - Case Study

Location: Re-located to the UK from Portugal
New Capital: Equity (Amount Not Disclosed)


Beer and Young's client company was based in Portugal and provided interior design and consultancy services to the local commercial market. However, a number of its customers had suffered in the economic downturn and they were consequently unable to pay their bills to our client. This resulted in their business being exposed to severe cash flow pressures and with little prospect of being able to continue to trade.

This was a challenging situation, however, one which we were delighted to take on. Our client wanted to return to the UK as they recognised the market here still presented opportunities for his business.

Within a few weeks of engagement the client was offered acceptable terms by one of our investors, who owns a complimentary industry sector business and a good strategic fit was the key driver to a successful completion. A new UK corporate entity was formed as the most appropriate investment vehicle and a full financial package has been provided to fund budgeted working capital requirements.
