Green Square provides corporate finance advice to shareholders of independent media, marketing communications and marketing technology businesses. We typically advise companies with enterprise values ranging from £10m to £50m.
A one-day workshop which helps shareholders and management identify key actions to improve the performance and value of their business. It is a very effective way to formulate a plan to drive the next stage of a company’s development and maximise value.
Business leaders need confidential guidance, support and focused inspiration. Someone to brainstorm and plan with, but also be challenged by. A place where they can get independent and experienced input to some of the tough decisions and strategies that determine their company’s future. Without someone who ‘gets it’, an owner can miss opportunities or simply waste time going round in circles.
We're exceptionally thorough and professional. But we're not cold fish.
Our advice is always carefully considered, well researched and has the benefits of our collective experience. We stay up to date with the latest industry trends and understand our clients' businesses in depth.
We bring enthusiasm and a spark to everything we do. We provide lighter moments and the odd flash of genius.
We like and respect our clients. This is reflected in the strong relationships that we build with them. Most importantly, we always act in their best interests, providing them with a balanced assessment on their options.
And this is why the vast majority of our business is referred.
We had been approached by several potential acquirers and were uncertain how to establish suitability and whether we would benefit from a wider market process. Green Square quickly understood our business, people and culture, and worked with us to determine the best fit for Given and its team on a strategic and personal level. Working closely with our team, they negotiated an outcome that was great for all parties involved. Andrew and the Green Square team were a pleasure to work with and we always felt they were on our side, working openly with other advisors, and the buyer, to find solutions to the inevitable challenges that arise during this type of process. Green Square’s clarity and direction made a real difference to how all of us experienced the process and, critically, their expertise enabled us to get a better deal."

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again. You’ve been true pro's, a rock, stable, reliable support. You’ve also become trusted friends. You kept on believing when we maybe had our moments of doubt. It’s a skill what you guys do and you’re bloody good at it. Thanks for believing (or faking it when you didn’t). MASSIVE RESPECT. We couldn’t have done it without you (or your incredible patience!). Thank you for the calm advice over such a long time. Thank you again for your incredible hard work and resilience to get us there in the end.”

I cannot recommend working with Barry and the team at Green Square highly enough. We absolutely couldn’t have done this without them. It’s been a journey and they’ve been with us at every step of the way. Their counsel has been impeccable and not least, it’s been a total pleasure. Barry’s strategic and financial acumen is second to none, only matched by his calm. He has been a true inspiration to me and the team and long may that continue.”
