Consulting Case Study
Consulting
The Project
We worked with a group of clinics in London to prepare for private equity majority acquisition, positioning the brand for success.
Our Client
Our client was a highly reputable clinic chain in London, offering bespoke, high-end care.
The Challenge
The clinic group had grown steadily over several years but lacked the internal expertise and bandwidth to prepare effectively for a competitive sale process. Key financial data was dispersed across multiple systems, operational reporting was inconsistent, and the leadership team had limited experience in articulating their growth story to potential acquirers. In addition, the business had several founder-dependencies and legacy practices that needed to be addressed to make the opportunity attractive to institutional buyers. Without a clear strategy, robust information pack, and forward-looking plan, there was a risk of undervaluation and prolonged due diligence.
Our Solution
We supported our client through a programme of value creation, including growth strategy and execution over a period extending to over two years. Our executive search team supported through a succession project for the CEO role and built a robust leadership team to underpin the growth. This integrated approach ensured our client had a multitude of support from a single accountable consultancy - led by a Director who also worked one to one with the Founder & CEO.
The Result
The business was acquired by a leading healthcare private equity fund in a eight-figure deal.
