Vergence Consolidated Merchants

The Process

From first conversation to shared value.

A clear path for founders considering succession, partial liquidity and a continuing role in something larger.

How it works

Vergence is not a conventional buyer. We create a considered path into the group, structured around the business and the founder behind it.

01Start

Get in touch

Every relationship begins with a confidential conversation. Tell us where the business is today, where you want it to go, and what you want life after the transaction to look like.

02Assess

We explore the fit

We assess the business, its financial profile, the founder’s objectives and the value Vergence can add. There is no one-size-fits-all transaction; the structure follows the circumstances.

03Prepare

Build the next chapter

Where a business needs further preparation before joining Vergence, one of our feeder agencies can help strengthen its brand, systems, growth engine or operating foundations.

04Structure

Agree the transaction

Together we shape the consideration mix, founder role and transition plan. Founders may receive cash, Vergence equity, or a combination designed around alignment and long-term participation.

05Join

Become part of the group

Once complete, the business enters a wider operating community. Founders gain shared capability, commercial connection and the opportunity to participate in value created across the portfolio.

06Realise

Participate in the long term

Vergence is being built for durable scale. The objective is to create strategic options for the group and its shareholders over time, while founders continue to benefit from collective growth.

Any future listing, liquidity event or realisation is subject to market conditions, board and shareholder approvals, regulatory requirements and the circumstances prevailing at the relevant time. No outcome or timetable is guaranteed.
