This includes access to capital for investment and financial management support, enabling strong financial security, profit-share and long-term asset growth within a business you love.
The Leightons Joint Venture is deliberately designed to provide flexibility in regards to the initial investment. The incoming partner typically purchases a percentage of the business, represented by equity or shares. The buy-in amount is based on the agreed-upon valuation.
For example, if the business is valued at £500,000 and the incoming partner buys a 30% stake, their buy-in would be £150,000, plus the equivalent % in asset value. Profit-share would be distributed equally to the shareholding.
