Corporate Finance & Fundraising

Fundraising and deals run by a partner, priced as a fixed scope and closed on time

Investors move fast and expect your lawyers to keep up. We turn documents round the same day so the round closes on the timetable, not the quarter after.

How we work

Investment rounds: Term sheets, shareholder agreements and articles negotiated with the investor’s counsel, with you briefed in plain English at every step.

Acquisitions and loans: Buying, selling or borrowing, with due diligence, warranties and completion handled as one fixed-scope project by one partner.

One fixed fee for the whole transaction, agreed in writing before we start. $410M of transactions completed since 2009.

A supplier dispute had dragged on for a year. Northgate settled it in six weeks, without a court date.
Tom Vidal
Owner, logistics company
The same partner handled our lease, our fundraise and our acquisition. Northgate never passed us down the line.

CEO, manufacturing group
Our Series A closed on time because Northgate turned every document round the same day.
