What do we do?
How was 2015?
2015 was a very active year for our clients, with a good number of deals and a lot of interest carrying forward to 2016. The main area of activity for us was capital raising, unlike previous years which have been predominately led by business sales and management buyouts.
It started very positively and by the mid point in the year it was very strong. Ending the year, as so often happens, on a slow quarter as Christmas in the UK traditionally sees deals drag over in the next year.
