Fortune favours those who are prepared

Our reputation as a reliable partner has allowed us to build longlasting relationships with entrepreneurs

The entrepreneurial journey encompasses many moments where decisive action can make a dramatic difference to business and personal outcomes. Planning your personal finances is especially important when running and selling a business. Our vision is to provide a platform where entrepreneurs and investors meet, connect, and create new business coordinated by their trusted adviser, acting as a single point of entry to the entire Rothschild & Co Group.

the entrepreneur's Journey

1. Founding

The starting point of your entrepreneurial journey can either be the founding a company or assuming control of a family business. Our support at this stage focuses on making valuable connections within our network and understanding your business. It makes sense to partner with an adviser early on to avoid common pitfalls in structuring and planning.

2. Growth and consolidation

As businesses mature and develop, we assist entrepreneurs with access to investors in the venture stage, Private Market investments through our Merchant Banking  division, including Private Equity & Private Debt, and the worldwide reach of our leading M&A advisory platform through the Global Advisory division. 

3. Sale

The sale of your business can lead to life-changing consequences. Our Global Advisory division accompanies you with targeted expertise on the path to an IPO or trade sale. In the meantime, our Wealth Management experts support you with matters of liquidity, security and opening the right accounts in advance. 

4. Investing for the future

Following the sale, while keeping your entrepreneurial mindset, you should consider strategic investment decisions to preserve your hard-earned wealth. Our range of Wealth Management services tailor to your personal situation and needs.
