Why we built this for Boxwood, and what running it would look like.

01 What we understand about your mandate
You advise middle-market business owners and private equity groups on sell-side and buy-side mandates, primarily in franchising, consumer, business services, food & beverage, and industrials. Recent mandates skew towards franchise systems and multi-unit operators, with engagements like Franchise FastLane, Stretch Zone, AdvantaClean, and Monster Tree Service. You have closed 80+ transactions since 2015, with aggregate transaction value near $7 billion.

03 Signals we'd track for you

Six categories. Forward-looking. Tracked across your universe.

None of these are claims we've already detected anything. They're the patterns we'd watch for, daily, on the universe of companies we'd build for you.

Leadership changes
New senior hires (CEO, CFO, Chair) commonly precede transaction processes by 6 to 12 months.
Watch: Companies House officer history, LinkedIn role changes, press releases.
Hiring pattern changes
Rapid senior team builds and sustained downsizing both correlate with capital events. The shape of the hiring curve is often more predictive than any single hire.
Watch: LinkedIn employee growth, posted job listings, departure patterns.
Capital structure events
Debt refinancings, charges register filings, and equity rounds signal upcoming inflection points and often precede a process by 9 to 14 months.
Watch: Companies House charges register, public funding announcements.
Founder activity signals
Public framing about "next chapter", succession, or sustained retirement language predicts owner-led exits more reliably than any structural signal.
Watch: LinkedIn posting patterns, trade press interviews, third-party adviser engagement.
Capacity and geographic moves
Site expansions, planning applications, and new regional offices commonly precede growth financing or sale processes.
Watch: planning applications, Land Registry filings, press announcements.
Sector activity
Peer transactions reset valuations and unlock founder thinking. Tracking the bracket matters more than tracking any single account.
Watch: trade press deal coverage, sponsor exit announcements, public filings.
