SERVICES

Epoc Venture Partners utilises the extensive knowledge, skills and experience of its high calibre management team and extensive network of professional associates to deliver tangible results for its clients.

Whatever the business sector and company size, Epoc can provide flexible, high level strategic and practical assistance in the following core areas:

 

Corporate Finance

Epoc draws from an extensive network of relationships at every level of the investment community, from seed, venture, private equity and mezzanine investors, to customized debt sources, to help companies secure short and long term financing for successful business development.

Epoc helps partner companies choose the right time to bring in investment capital as well as determine the scale of investment necessary to maximize value.

We also manage financing processes from inception to delivery so our partners can focus on running their business operations.

 

Corporate Development and New Market Penetration

Epoc's corporate development program is about building value to validate technology and market acceptance through new business opportunities.

Our in-house expertise and extensive network of executive level relationships enable our partner companies to land new clients, quickly accumulate referral customers, build business value through sales acceleration, and implement strategies for continued success.

Epoc's transatlantic presence and international business experience reduces the risks associated with new market selection and penetration.

Our market intelligence and direct exposure enables the simultaneous evaluation, prioritisation and creation of multiple new market opportunities for optimal success.

Providing a strategic bridge between Canada and the UK, Epoc is especially well placed to assist companies looking to develop operations here and in the hugely significant neighbouring markets of Europe and the USA.

 

Mergers, Acquisitions and Sales

When a partner company is ready to grow through acquisition, or achieve a liquidity event through a sale or other exit, Epoc helps it develop and execute a transaction strategy.

Obtaining maximum value on a sale, or executing a successful acquisition, requires a disciplined process to ensure success.

Epoc's integrated approach allows us to work on M&A transactions, implementing our strategic planning and business development efforts, to significantly enhance exit values and business success for our partner companies.

 

Strategic Planning and Execution

Epoc helps companies chart a path to success.

This process begins with an analysis of the potential possibilities and culminates with experienced advisors helping senior management choose a course of action, based on relevant risks and opportunities and an assessment of the company's capabilities.

Epoc's strategy work includes planning as well as implementation.

We work with early and mid stage companies to expand team capabilities in the short term and source key talent to help companies internalize those skills in order to grow.

 

Technology Optimization, New Product Assessment and Launch

Epoc can define functional requirements and specifications for new technology.

Applying our combination of technical and commercial expertise we can assist with proof-of-concept development, including prototype testing, and convert invention and innovation into commercially viable products.

Epoc works with partner companies to conduct due diligence, develop business plans, validate markets, assist with product protection, secure financing and conduct investment and sales negotiations.
