Advising Ambitious CEOs and Investors
to better outcomes, always backed by Data and Intelligence
Data and Intelligence Led
We found traditional corporate finance too transactional—often unpredictable and inconsistent. So we set out to build a smarter approach: developing proprietary knowledge and systems, always underpinned by data and intelligence, to drive higher success rates and deliver better outcomes from transactions.
With so much company value tied up in investment portfolios—and in a market where 80% of businesses fail to sell once they enter a sale process—we’ve consistently reversed the odds.
For over 20 years, our approach has delivered higher success rates and above-benchmark outcomes, unlocking meaningful value for investors and founders alike.

Antony and his Executive Team came to Bean Partners Ventures Limited for support with a capital raise, and the subsequent deployment of that capital in preparation for, and execution of, the business sale. The team’s objectives were to sell to a great buyer, achieving a good outcome for investors and the Executive Team. The business sold to YouGov, achieving all of the teams objectives.
“As Chair, my role is to deal with competing stakeholder priorities, and the buck ultimately stops with me. Bean Partners Ventures Limited helped me personally to be a better diplomat, and more broadly really guided our team through the process. We were able to pin every decision back to the evidence provided by the intelligence, giving us confidence and clarity in our decisions and stakeholder communications."
