Beauty Leaders Breakfast: Scaling Beauty & Wellness - M&A, investment and exits for Founders

The beauty landscape has changed. Mergers and acquisitions are no longer just an endgame for massive corporations. Today, taking on investment or seeking a corporate partner are some of the most powerful strategic tools available to scaling beauty and wellness brands.

Whether you are thinking about future investment or an eventual exit, navigating international expansion, expanding into new channels or sectors, or simply building a business with the potential to create significant enterprise value, understanding the mechanics of M&A is essential to help create, accelerate and realise value.

Join us on 5th November at Michelin Star restaurant Hide, in London’s Mayfair, for this exclusive, peer-to-peer roundtable that will bring together ambitious beauty founders and CEOs with experts and investors from consumer brand platform Avenir Collective to demystify the M&A and investment process.

At this engaging and informative event, you will learn:

• When founders should begin thinking about investment or an eventual exit
• How to make your business attractive to buyers and investors
• What investors and acquirers look for when assessing a business
• How to practically prepare your business for investment or exit
• Common misconceptions and mistakes founders make when approaching M&A
• What lessons can be learned from those who have been through the process

Guests will leave the event equipped with the knowledge to make better strategic decisions about the future of their business, long before a transaction is on the table.

The event will be held under Chatham House rules to allow for a transparent discussion among guests.

You will also enjoy a delicious breakfast at one of London’s most desirable Michelin-starred restaurants and receive a luxury Diptyque gift as a thank you for attending.
