WHO IS BOSHAM CAPITAL ADVISORS (“BCA”)?
BCA is an independent financial boutique. We provide both investees and
investors alike the full spectrum of merchant banking services, including
strategic advisory, corporate finance, M&A, capital introduction and ongoing
advisory/board services post investment. Importantly, at BCA we ourselves are
investors first and foremost, with access to both partner capital and to a
significant global network of Institutional, FO and HNWI capital.
We act as investors at every stage of our process, putting our own capital on the
line in the vast majority of deals that we manage. Even when we choose not to
invest we undertake the same rigorous due diligence in order to ensure that the
investment proposition is watertight before introducing the idea to potential
investors. We have been investing in both unlisted and listed companies for over
30 years and have substantial experience in the capital formation process.
Currently we manage a global portfolio of 6 investments across the Consumer,
Disruptive Tech, Digital Media and Real Estate sectors.
