Our Service

A dynamic, powerful team, delivering outstanding results

A successful deal requires the right strategy and a bespoke approach.  There is no such thing as a standard deal so you need a specialist adviser who understands your business and your market and can tailor the advice to your specific needs and objectives.

FirstCapital has been advising technology companies, their founders, CEOs and shareholders, and corporate M&A teams since 1999.  In a market where only 1-2% of requests for venture capital funding, and approximately 60% of mergers and acquisitions are successful, we have a success rate of transaction completion that exceeds 90%.

We advise on:
  • Company Sales
  • Corporate Acquisitions
  • Raising Capital
  • Strategic Advice
Our senior directors, who have years of international technology investment banking experience, personally lead each engagement with every client from start to finish. Our comprehensive service includes:
  • Review and commercial assessment of business strategy and financials
  • Insightful market and competitive positioning for value maximisation
  • Identification, qualification and targeting of investors or M&A opportunities
  • Intensive preparation and coaching for meetings and discussions with investors/M&A targets
  • Thorough due diligence preparation and management
  • Robust transaction negotiation and support
  • Knowledgeable and creative deal structuring, both price and terms
  • Rigorous, end-to-end project management to drive transaction close

What Our Clients Say

“FirstCapital’s comprehensive approach meant that our shareholders could be confident that we got the best possible offers from the market – something we could not have achieved had we tried to keep the fundraising process in-house. All our objectives were achieved: not only was funding secured within a short timeframe but the price and terms negotiated by FirstCapital were excellent.”

Adam Kingdon, co-founder and Managing Director i2O Water
