We share mandates with partners we know and trust.
A widely circulated information memorandum does not serve the seller and costs you time. For each file we approach a limited number of parties whose profile, decision speed and sector preference we know.
If you would like to be considered, we record your profile once. After that you hear from us only when something fits.

Frequently asked questions
How do I raise growth capital?
By approaching a limited number of investors who already understand your sector, rather than circulating a broad memorandum. Meridian & Partners prepares the file, selects those parties and runs the talks through to the agreements on control.
Do I lose control if an investor comes in?
Not necessarily. With a minority stake, control stays with the entrepreneur. Which form fits depends on the amount, the purpose and the horizon, and that is a choice you make up front rather than discover afterwards.
What does an investor want to see?
A result that holds up, an organisation that does not hang on one person, and figures that withstand scrutiny. The last of those is more often the obstacle than the story itself.
Does Meridian & Partners also work for private equity and family offices?
Yes. We work for both sides of the market and choose one side per file: our client’s.
