All the winning ingredients & what’s next for Hawksmoor! 🥦 High five to the tips! Turner would be entreated “back off the ledge” by Beckett and Tim Besley-Gould, the general manager at the time, who is now Hawksmoor’s group chief operating officer. Beckett credits much of Hawksmoor’s success to the provenance of the ingredients it uses. “I just cannot articulate how much time we’ve spent on the stuff we buy. Who are the farmers providing our meat? Who are the fishermen; the winemakers?” A US expansion will probably be funded by a new investor. Graphite Capital, a London-based private equity firm, invested £35 million for a minority stake in 2013. Beckett said any new investor will need to have experience of the US market and bring “energy” and “contacts” as well as cash to the table. #smallbusinessowner #growth #expansion #provenance https://lnkd.in/eMYENR4D

**PRO TIP** Remember that term sheets are nothing more than paper. Deals DO NOT close more than they do. As founders looking for capital, remember that a term sheet is just a serious expression of interest, and sometimes not all that serious. Sometimes term sheets are meant to lock you up from a competing investor. Fund raise all the way until the closing ink is dry. We are super proud to say that at InvestBev we have closed every term sheet we have written. Often times, desperation for capital leads to hurried decisions. You can always be slow and smart!

Top tip for whisky investors: Know the impact of the angels’ share As whisky ages, some evaporates, reducing the quantity but enhancing the flavours and character. This natural process can boost the value of your cask over time. Understanding this helps you gauge yield and profitability, adding to the mystique of cask investment. #Whisky1901 #CaskInvestment #WhiskyInvestment #whisky #whiskylover #whiskygram #instawhisky #whiskylife #scotland #WhiskyTasting #dram #instadram #AngelsShare #WhiskyAging
