ABOUT BOXINGTON

In 2010, as an ambitious and hard-working M&A advisor in my thirties, I saw a space in the M&A market for an advisory house that would be dedicated to company Founders, and independent and free from conflicts of interest in its advice to them.

At that time, there was a clear need for such a new advisory house because M&A advisory firms tended to work for, and so owe their allegiances to, big corporates and Private Equity. Founders, as individuals doing one-off transactions, were considered in M&A to be far less important than institutions. Sixteen years or so on this is all still the case.

So Boxington came into being in late 2010, first from the proverbial back bedroom, then quickly to hot-desks, then to an office of our own in the first couple of years. For those people who have done something similar in a new venture, you will know what I mean when I say special memories.

And over the years since 2010 we have stayed true to our origins  as a Founder-focused expert M&A advisory house, and without conflicts of interest, as we never work for big buyers and Private Equity. All of which makes us special and differentiated in our market-place.

But along the way, we have evolved and developed what we are able to do for our Founder clients.

 

Firstly, whilst we began in 2010 working mostly with service-based companies, we now work across a range of tech-enabled services, software-as-a-service (SaaS), and of course services-based companies.

We have also widened our advisory services from exit advisory to include raising growth capital and some buy-side projects. We have enjoyed responding to the needs of our Founder clients and their business strategies in this expanded way.

Our sector focus too has broadened out over time as we have been asked to assist in new, often adjacent sectors. We now focus on six sectors, which are in many ways commercially and strategically connected and overlapping. This sector focus allows us to produce M&A research such as our regular MarketTracker reports and other published insights.

As for the small number of new clients who we engage with for the first time each year, we look to work for Founders and Management Teams who are open and straight-forward with us, who are positive yet realistic in their objectives, and who are looking for expert and unconflicted advice.
