John Foundling MCSI, CF

I am a highly experienced deal-maker and lead adviser from a corporate banking background. I am both creative and tenacious, with a track record of successful deals. The corporate finance advice that I provide is focused on enabling SMEs to complete deals in the range £2m-£50 million.

Broadly I advise on three areas as follows:

• Acquisitions: negotiating transactions, and obtaining the funding from a wide range of sources, including private equity.
• Disposals: finding the right buyer, and getting the right valuation.
• Development capital: finding the right investor from a very broad contact network, and excellent relationships across private equity.

I specialise in deal origination, corporate acquisitions and disposals, working with management teams on management buy-outs/buy-ins. I am experienced in raising senior debt and acquisition finance, including equity (venture capital/private equity).
