Corporate Finance & Funding Partners
The entrepreneurs in our community are making the biggest financial decisions of their lives. They need advisors they trust.
Raising capital, restructuring debt, selling a business, negotiating with creditors. These are not just financial transactions. They are life-changing decisions made under enormous emotional pressure. Fortitude Foundation supports entrepreneurs through exactly these moments, and they are actively looking for professional guidance. Partnership with Fortitude Foundation puts your firm in front of business owners at the point of maximum need and maximum willingness to engage.
Why This Partnership Works
Corporate finance advisors need deal flow. Fortitude Foundation's community includes entrepreneurs considering exits, those who need emergency refinancing, founders exploring their options after business difficulty, and business owners proactively planning for the future. Every one of them is a potential instruction.
Trust is the single most important factor in choosing a corporate finance advisor. Entrepreneurs do not select advisors from a directory. They ask people they trust for recommendations. Being visible within the Fortitude Foundation community positions your firm as recommended by a source the entrepreneur already trusts.
The emotional intensity of corporate finance transactions is widely acknowledged but rarely addressed. Fortitude Foundation fills that gap. By partnering, your firm demonstrates an understanding that selling a business or raising capital is not just a spreadsheet exercise but a deeply personal experience.
The Numbers
- •The average success fee on a mid-market business sale is 3-5% of deal value. A single client acquired through Fortitude Foundation could cover decades of partnership fees.
- •Over 10,000 UK businesses were sold through corporate finance advisors in the past year.
- •Entrepreneurs who receive emotional support during transactions report higher satisfaction with outcomes, regardless of deal value.
How Fortitude Foundation Partnerships Work
Fortitude Foundation exists for one reason: to support entrepreneurs in crisis. That mission is non-negotiable, and it shapes everything about how we work with partners.
Our partnership model is built on a simple principle: organisations that genuinely help entrepreneurs should be visible to the entrepreneurs who need them. We verify every partner to ensure they offer legitimate, high-quality services. We do not accept partnerships from organisations whose interests conflict with the wellbeing of the entrepreneurs we serve. And we will never allow commercial relationships to influence the support, guidance or resources we provide to our community.
Partnership fees fund Fortitude Foundation's core mission: free peer support, crisis resources, and community for entrepreneurs who are struggling. When you become a partner, your contribution directly enables us to reach more founders, provide more support, and keep every resource free for the people who need it. That is the primary purpose of every pound we receive.
In return for funding our mission, partners receive visibility within our community as a verified, trusted organisation. This is not advertising. It is a curated, editorially independent directory of organisations we believe can genuinely help the entrepreneurs we serve. We will never pressure, incentivise or direct entrepreneurs towards any partner. We present options. Entrepreneurs make their own choices.
As a Fortitude Foundation Partner, you receive:
- Listing as a verified Fortitude Foundation Partner on our website, with your profile, logo and a direct link to your services
- Inclusion in Fortitude Foundation's resource library, so entrepreneurs seeking professional support in your area can find you alongside our independent guidance
- Opportunities to contribute genuinely useful content to our community: educational articles, guides, Q&A sessions or webinars that help entrepreneurs make better decisions. All content is editorially reviewed by Fortitude Foundation to ensure it serves entrepreneurs first
- Visibility across Fortitude Foundation's newsletter, social media and events as a supporting partner
- The knowledge that your partnership fees directly fund free crisis support, peer groups, and resources for entrepreneurs who have nowhere else to turn
We are selective about who we partner with because our community's trust is the only thing that makes Fortitude Foundation work. If you share our belief that entrepreneurs deserve better support, we would welcome a conversation about working together.
Be the advisor that entrepreneurs turn to for the biggest financial decisions of their lives.
