Launch Your Own Consulting Practice — With the Backing of One of the UK’s Leading Investors
Hamilton Bradshaw, the private equity firm founded by James Caan CBE (Dragons’ Den, serial entrepreneur), is inviting experienced consultants to co-found their own firms. This opportunity is for professionals ready to move from delivering for clients to building their own consulting business — with investment, infrastructure, and strategic support behind them.
A Unique Opportunity for Ambitious Consultants

Whether your background is in management consulting, strategy, transformation, technology, HR, risk, or specialist advisory — if you have the expertise and a compelling proposition, we’ll help you turn it into a scalable firm.
We provide:
* Equity & Growth Capital – Launch your practice with funding behind you
* Strategic & Operational Support – Get expert input on finance, operations, legal, and governance
* Market Positioning & Branding – Build a brand that reflects your niche and ambition
* Compliance & Regulatory Guidance – Focus on clients while we support the backend
Why Hamilton Bradshaw?

* Track Record – Successful investments in consulting, legal, financial, and specialist advisory firms
* Senior Expertise – Access to a core team of specialists in business growth and operations
* Long-Term Focus – We back founders to build sustainable, high-impact businesses
Who Should Apply?
You are an experienced consultant or leader with:
* 10+ years in management consulting or a specialist advisory field (strategy, HR, tech, compliance, etc.)
* A defined consulting offering or a unique market niche
* A strong personal brand and trusted client network
* An entrepreneurial mindset and vision for building your own firm
* An existing pipeline, project base, or team you want to grow
What You’ll Gain
* Equity Ownership – Be the founder, not the employee
* Capital Investment – Avoid the funding and bootstrapping barrier
* Infrastructure Setup – From regulatory compliance to financial controls
* Strategic Mentorship – High-level input to accelerate your growth
* Commercial Acceleration – Branding, marketing, and sales support tailored to your niche
