Allow us to introduce ourselves:
Pearson + Partners supports executives and entrepreneurs to raise private capital.
Human connection, business growth and clear direction are at the core of what we do. This means we build relationships that work for leadership teams, investors and businesses. The type of partnerships that go deeper than number crunching, we unlock deals through people and ideas.
Our People
Without partnership we simply would not exist. Built on decades of human understanding, Pearson + Partners is a network of seasoned business leaders from across the UK, Europe and US. We are well-connected, and we put those connections to work by bringing people together.
We help build relationships that balance ambitions with discretion, and accelerate growth. Delivering successful capital partnerships that work for you.
Our Practice
As partnerships are fundamental to who we are, Pearson + Partners has developed strong connections with private equity firms.
Our trusted relationships with selected funds enables us to streamline capital raising for businesses and entrepreneurs. Supporting deal origination and transactions, we facilitate investment that ranges from large cap (over £1 billion enterprise value) through mid-cap and small-cap (£20 million to £1 billion enterprise value), and into venture capital. Through our commitment to capital relationships with human connection, we also enable access to a wider network of hundreds of funds.
A note from our founder
“The real difference between success and failure in business can very often be traced to how well the organisation brings out the great energies, ideas and talents of its people.
We love to listen to business leaders and understand their ideas, plans and ambitions, so we can pair them with like-minded investors who can fuel their enterprise.”
- Jonathan Pearson
Our Principles
-
We are ambitious to be ethical and do the right things. We are far from perfect. We want to be humble and thoughtful about the effects of our actions. We want to leave things better than how we found them. We want to treat others in the way that we would like to be treated.
-
People make us who we are. Our work is carried out in conditions which support the honesty and wellbeing of our people. We help each other to learn, develop skills, make better decisions and take pride in our work.
At Pearson + Partners, we treat our clients, our partners, suppliers and each other with a mutual respect that enables us to nurture strong relationships.
-
Capital relationships are only fair when there's a mutual benefit for all parties involved. At Pearson + Partners, this relational capital drives us to develop financial relationships that involve the sharing of risks, because risks and rewards should always be bound together.
As transparent people we always pay our fair share of taxes, and ensure our staff and suppliers are paid fairly, honestly and promptly.
-
Delivering successful capital relationships affords us the opportunity to help diverse communities in the localities our business operates. One way we do this is through a charity that is at the heart of our business, with The Reuben Trust being a 10% owner of Pearson + Partners.
We believe a healthy, sustainable world for future generations is the responsibility of everyone in the here and now. But we know there's still work to be done. That's why our ambitions and capital relationships strive for a world of better health, resource use and innovation.
We will not work with businesses who predominantly focus on alcohol, tobacco, gambling, pornography, offensive armaments or pay day loans.
