INTELLIGENT Capital Limited, the Glasgow-based wealth manager, has changed hands following a management buyout led by director David Bremner.
The deal was backed by Clydesdale Bank, which provided funding worth “six figures” to support the buyout.
Intelligent Capital, which is based on Glasgow’s Morrison Street, provides advice on financial planning matters such as tax, investment and pension advice. The firm, which has 13 staff, has a corporate division, offering advice on employee benefits and group pensions.
Mr Bremner, who acquired the business from Graeme Forbes, joined Intelligent Capital in 2014, since when its turnover has grown by 25 per cent. It expects to have turned over more than more than £1.5 million in its current year, which closes this month.
Mr Bremner said: “It’s encouraging to start the new year having completed the MBO and we are looking forward to continuing to support our customers and grow the business.
“We are grateful for the support and assistance provided by Clydesdale Bank SME Cashflow Finance team.”
Mark Young, director of SME Cashflow Finance at Clydesdale Bank, said: “At Clydesdale Bank, SME Cashflow Finance can enable profitable businesses, such as Intelligent Capital Limited, to implement their strategic goals through provision of innovative funding packages.
“Identifying suitable funding to facilitate growth, acquisition or succession within a business can at best delay or potentially prevent business owners implementing their strategic goals and curtail the evolution of the business.
“We are passionate about supporting SMEs.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
