Letter from the Founding Partner

Hello,

My name is Chris Grove, and I am the founding partner of Archer Fleming, a corporate finance advisory firm specialising in the sale, acquisition and strategic development of privately owned businesses.

If you have found yourself wondering what your business might be worth, who the right buyer might be, or simply whether the timing is right to begin thinking about an exit, those are precisely the conversations I have been having with business owners for the better part of two decades.

We advise on full exits, partial sales, management buyouts and growth fundraising. Our clients tend to be founders and owners who want the thing done properly, by someone who has sat at enough deal tables to know the difference between a good outcome and a genuinely excellent one.

If any of that is relevant to where you find yourself, I would be very glad to have a conversation. There is no obligation, and everything we discuss is strictly confidential.

Do feel free to get in touch.

With kind regards,

Chris Grove

Founding Partner
