SETTING UP YOUR OWN RECRUITMENT BUSINESS

Over a 25 year period, we have launched over 20 new recruitment entities, from IT, Accountancy, Sales, Marketing, Social Care, Locums, Education, Construction, Technical and Engineering and specialist professional services. Combined, these businesses would have revenues in excess of £300m, and net fee income of over £35m.

Typical Situations

  • You have built up a successful career in recruitment, have management experience, leadership qualities, and yet have a yearning to “do it your way” without the restrictive parameters of corporate life.
  • You have been unable to speak to principals about an equity interest in the business you have built up and help manage.
  • You want to be the boss.

Who collects the cash? Who does our accounts? How much will it cost? Legal requirements, restrictive covenants, finance, cashflows, compliance, who designs the web-site, who creates the corporate branding, how do we grow quickly and successfully, competitive tendering and marketing tool kits, databases, what do we look
