halkin ventures Information

A handful of moments decide what happens to a business over the next ten years. Moving into a new market, raising the capital to get there, selling or handing it over. They don't come around often and they're far less forgiving than the decisions made day to day. Halkin Ventures is the strategy and transactions arm of Halkin, working with owner-led businesses through three of them. Grow: strategy and business modelling, market entry, franchise models, ESOPs. Raise: capital strategy, funding instruments, investor mandates, the pitch. Exit: valuations, succession planning, deal management. You know your business better than anyone will after a fortnight of due diligence. An investor or a buyer doesn't, and they won't ask for the context you've got. Turning what you know into something they can act on is a lot of the work, and it's usually the difference between the price you hoped for and the price you get. Every recommendation sits on a model built from your numbers, not a template borrowed from a business that looks a bit like yours. The tax, accounting and HR teams are already inside Halkin, so nothing gets handed to a stranger halfway through. It usually starts a few years before you think it needs to. Timing is the one thing you can't buy back.
