  • BGF can invest for the long term giving you the flexibility to make long term investment decisions in your business;
  • BGF has flexibility in the way investments are structured i.e. ordinary shares / loan notes;
  • BGF has no drag rights i.e. cannot force you to sell your company;
  • BGF has a focused due diligence process in order to minimise costs and distractions to your business; and
  • BGF can make available to you its internal resources in areas such as manufacturing, IT, HR and PR as required, as well as providing access to its Talent Network of over 2,000 experienced director-level contacts.
