The Business Growth Institute supports owners and shareholders of UK private companies to unlock significant value through strategic corporate structuring.
Our focus lies in areas often underexplored by traditional advisers — where shareholder arrangements, tax position, and long-term planning intersect. The outcome is frequently transformational: enhanced commercial value, increased succession readiness, and reduced long-term tax exposure.
Our structuring work consistently delivers substantial results, from shareholder realignment to generational transition and value extraction — all with full HMRC clearance.
“£49.6M in value — BGI is incredible!”
A strategic restructuring programme unlocked nearly £50 million in shareholder value through intelligent ownership reconfiguration and forward tax planning.
“That’s amazing — a £2.6M difference. BGI has given me the single biggest return on investment of my entire career!”
Comprehensive restructuring led to a multi-million pound benefit — a direct result of rethinking how shareholder value was held and realised.
“The expertise and dedication enabled our smooth succession while safeguarding the company’s success. I am thrilled.”
A complex mid-term succession project, designed to ensure leadership continuity and extract £5.5 million in value, all with HMRC clearance and seamless operational execution.
Bespoke modelling of group, shareholding, and ownership structures to maximise value and resilience.
All recommendations are underpinned by technical rigour and formal HMRC clearance — ensuring certainty and compliance.
Structuring for generational handover, investment-readiness, or sale — always with a focus on protecting and enhancing long-term shareholder value.
Our background includes decades leading professional services firms, but our current focus is deliberately narrow: shareholder value, succession structuring, and intelligent tax strategy.
We work with a select number of companies each year, typically those with significant net assets and a desire to professionalise ownership structure, reduce long-term exposure, or prepare for transition.
We offer confidential exploratory conversations to help shareholders and leadership teams understand the commercial potential of intelligent structuring.
