WHO WE WORK WITH

Business Owners & Founders

Planning your next phase? Advisory for owners growing, acquiring, or stepping aside.

We sit on your side of the table. We get to know the business and shape the right capital or deal around it.

LETS START WITH THE OUTCOME

Where do you want the business to be in five years?

You don't need to know yet whether the answer is debt, investment or a sale. We'll lay out the options and what each one means for you.


You built the business.
So every big decision is personal as well as commercial.

You might want to grow faster than your bank will fund. You might have found a company to buy. Or you might be starting to think about what comes after you.

We help owners of lower mid-market businesses make those decisions and see them through. We act for you, and only you.

 When Owners Come to Us

You want to grow, and your bank won't lend enough to do it.

You've found a company to buy and need to fund it.

You're thinking about selling, now or in a few years.

A shareholder wants to leave, or you want to step back.

You want to hand the business to your management team or your family.

Trading has dipped and your lender is asking questions.

One decision often leads to the next. We can help with each of them.

HOW WE HELP

Tell Us What You Want to Achieve. We'll Work Out How.

You don't need to know yet whether the answer is debt, investment or a sale. Start with what you want for the business. We'll lay out the options and what each one means for you.


Fund Your Growth or Your Next Deal
Debt can fund your plans without giving away shares. We find the right lender and negotiate terms that fit the business.

Sell Your Business, or Buy One
We run the sale so you keep running the business. If you're buying, we help you find the company and fund the deal.

Funding for Special Situations
When trading moves and your capital structure doesn’t, the right funding buys you time. We find the refinancing, debt or equity to get you through.

We act for you.

We're advisers, not brokers. We don't just collect term sheets. We stay with you from the first plan to completion

We give you straight advice.

We tell you what each option costs you, in interest, in shares and in control.

We stay with you as the business changes.

Today it might be funding growth. Later it might be a sale. You don't have to start again with someone new.

We're small, with global reach.

Our teams in the UK, Europe, India and Asia reach lenders and buyers beyond your home market. That matters most when your plans cross borders.

We have the deals to show for it.

Over 13 years advising on debt across sectors, stages, and cycles.


Is Fuse Capital Right for You?

Your sector doesn't matter. Your plans do.

We work best with owners who have a clear ambition for the business and the energy to get there.

If you need a simple loan, your bank may be the quickest route. We're most useful when the deal is larger, more complex or crosses borders.

If you only want someone to shop your deal around for term sheets, we're not the right fit. We work on your side, through the whole deal.
