Business development

A typical Threadmark client is looking to grow. They may be seeking to raise a materially larger fund than last time around, or planning to create a new business line, or get going as a new market participant. We have helped build fund management businesses from the ground up. Whatever the situation, we have the experience and relationships to deliver success.

Our clients place great trust in us, not just in achieving success but also in enhancing their brand. We know what it takes to be successful in private markets and have a deep experience of investors’ expectations. We can guide our clients through the process of structuring their business and their offering, staffing the venture appropriately and securing the right investor base.

With our detailed knowledge of investors and markets, we can help our clients refine their offering to maximise appeal and highlight points of differentiation.

We can help a client define its investment processes, improve its organisational structure and establish its regulatory frameworks, while at the same time articulating key messages effectively to investors.

While capital is critical, not all investors bring the same long-term value. For some of our clients, it is the value beyond the pure financial which matters most. If we can pair a client with a partner that brings significant strategic enhancements at the same time as delivering capital, then we will have delivered a truly special relationship.

For some clients, partnerships can include company-level capital solutions or ownership change, such as minority equity stakes. We can introduce potential partners and advise managers on how to achieve their strategic goals, whether that’s unlocking fast-track growth potential or mapping a long-term succession path.
