Beer & Young (B&Y) were invited to speak at a major regional event and out of 10 speakers were the only intermediary amongst nine specialist turnaround funds.
Within the industry, the minimum deal size for most investment companies is £2 million whereas Beer & Young’s maximum deal size is £3 million, putting B&Y in a unique position in the sector. B&Y have a distinct focus on the SME sector, particularly those SME’s that require turnaround funding that can’t find funding through traditional sources for example banks and ABL and would value the input of an investor with prior experience.
B&Y have in excess of £1,000 high net worth investors the majority of who on an individual basis want to become involved with the business. Fund investors are driven by the rational objective assessment of the financial outcome and risk, whether the existing management are efficient or need changing and to work to a substantial exit multiple, whereas the angel investor is typified by B&Y’s type of turnover, individuals, fast decision makers with an affinity to the business and a deep desire to use their hands on skills to protect and grow their investment.
Beer & Young are the only company in the market who combine angel investors with smaller than average investment amounts and only in the SME sector, which makes them very niche.
Consequently at the end of the meeting a large amount of visitors to their syndicate room wanted to talk to them and they fully expect to engage in dialogue and commitments with a number of individuals and firms on all levels on an on-going basis.
