"Bluebox Corporate Finance was founded in 2012 by James Caan and Paul Herman. Our business tackles the sad reality that almost 90% of businesses marketed for sale, fail to sell.

Our professional team works alongside our clients delivering market-leading, pre-sale planning services to our clients from up to three years before their exit. The team then provides market-leading advice on the sale or fund raising exercises themselves.

At the heart of our offering is the award-winning ‘Blue Diamond’ programme. It is a highly structured approach for business owners that focuses on enhancing both the value and salability of a business. We estimate that the programme can enhance the value of a business by more than 40%.

The Bluebox team has worked with over 500 clients and sold more than 100 businesses. We have expertise across many sectors but describe ourselves as sector agnostic. We pride ourselves on an exceptional reach to both domestic and international buyers.

We work with clients where their exit is likely to generate a value of more than £5m. We encourage extensive referencing and have honesty and trust as two of our fundamental values.

We enjoy very significant exposure to the UK’s ‘mid market’ and now invest our own fund in selected clients as well as providing advisory services to them. We target exciting, high growth, UK-based businesses with good management and demonstrable development opportunities."
