Finding a good home.
Whether you are an owner, manager or adviser, we provide transparency, certainty of execution and — most importantly — aim to preserve the legacy of the business.
What we protect.
Your legacy
You've built a great business, a strong team, loyal customers and good products. You want to see all of this continue. We typically do not integrate businesses except for low-value administrative functions — your business will largely remain intact, but with more capital and institutional-grade rigour.
Business growth
We understand the challenges of growing a business with limited resources and capital. We provide the capital and resources required to help it grow.
Create liquidity
You want to remain in the business but want to see some liquidity for all your hard work.
How we work with you.
Transparency
We are open and transparent with our views on the business, our due diligence findings and our valuation. We won't waste your time (or ours).
Speed
We can close deals in under nine weeks from signing an LOI. More than three-quarters of our transactions have completed in under a quarter.
Certainty
We invest our own money alongside long-standing investors. We don't need to raise capital or go through complicated board approvals.
“We were impressed with the speed, transparency and professionalism exhibited by Tern during our engagement. This allowed us to complete the purchase in less than four months from our first meeting with management.”
