I had a brilliant day yesterday (albeit a very cold one) at my first "FORE" Business meet of 2025 at Leamington Golf Club. ⛳ It was great to hear about some fantastic businesses, and witness some impressive shot-making from my playing partners Lewis Jenkins, Matthew Williams and Greg Bishop (who between them pipped me twice to nearest the pin prizes - as you can imagine I was thrilled for them on both occasions). One of the many topics we touched on during the day was when is the right time for businesses to look for investment to scale up, take that next step, and when to consider an exit. There's not a one-size fits all answer to those questions, which is why having the right advisers in place to help navigate those decisions and provide a picture of what certain outcomes might look like can be invaluable. If you or your clients are facing decisions around taking on new investment, or looking at potential exit strategies, please do get in touch for a chat, I'd love to hear from you. And if any contacts are keen for a round of golf, or might be interested in joining me at a future networking day, feel free to drop me a message. Thanks to Jacob Lee ACA for organising the day, and congratulations to the prize winners! #WrightHassall #BusinessGrowth #Networking
