The Guardsmen Group
Our model

The Guardsmen Model

A repeatable, five-stage approach that takes a business from conception to a growing, listed company, applied with disciplined capital markets execution.

Five stages

From conception to listing and growth

  1. Conception

    Originating opportunities: identifying well-run businesses and assets with the fundamentals to succeed as listed companies.

  2. Funding

    Securing early and growth capital, drawing on the founding team’s long-standing investor relationships.

  3. Structuring

    Designing the corporate, capital and governance structure the business needs to be ready for public markets.

  4. Build out

    Assembling the board and management team and developing the assets and operations that underpin the investment case.

  5. Listing & growth

    Bringing the company to market through an IPO or vend, then supporting its growth as a listed business.
