Entrepreneur owners of small businesses generally work longer hours and for less pay and with more debt than their employed counterparts. They often take great personal risks supporting their employees and their business.
Dealing with red tape, taxation changes, regulations, health and safety and employment law changes, at the same time as trying to get a good night's sleep can be a constant struggle. To top it all off, when you want to sell the business, finding the right buyer, who'll look after the staff and customers AND give you a price that you deserve, is like finding the proverbial 'needle in a haystack'.
Fairmountain's Founders know this well as we have all set up and run our own companies. We have a collective 330 years of experience and want to help SME owners to maximise the value of their business by helping increase turnover, reduce costs and ultimately help you to sell the business for more money than you ever could on your own.
How do we do this? By building a group of like minded SME owners. You become a part of a much larger group, but still keep your company name, control, branding, culture. We invest in your company and help you to grow so that we can join you in the upside returns. Speak to us to find out how you can increase your business value today.

What if I want to sell but stay in the business?
