We are highly-experienced and well-connected investors, with complementary skill sets and broad, genuine expertise. At Marlborough Scott, we understand the myriad of stresses and pressures that business owners face, having owned and managed several business ourselves.
Collectively, we possess and have access to unrivalled expertise in business cost management, operational improvement and driving sales growth. We leverage these skills to improve business performance in ways that are difficult for long-term owner-managers to achieve by themselves due to their closeness to the day-to-day operations and limited wider industry contacts.
As acquirers of businesses, we are neither financial intermediaries nor marketers of businesses, and consequently we are able to make an appropriate offer for your business, following initial assessment. The time taken to complete can achieved be within two months.
