An entrepreneur looking to buy, operate and grow a small or medium UK business.
The entrepreneur
My name is Raul Jacob. I grew up in a very entrepreneurial family with businesses in manufacturing, business services, retail and agribusiness. Then, throughout my career, I worked in consulting, capital markets and private equity.
Contrasting the private equity methods with my family business views, I saw the need for a different type of buyer. So I raised capital from investors and founded Farnam to buy a UK business with a different approach.

Approach
With an entrepreneurial mindset, I can offer what other buyers simply cannot:
Legacy
Farnam builds on the existing business and team strengths, avoiding aggressive cost cuts that damage the brand and culture you created.
The business remains independent of private equity portfolio decisions or large corporate goals.
Independence
You can step out of daily operations after a short transition.
Succession
I will be dedicated full time to running and growing the business.
Focus
Farnam can truly think about what’s best for your business in the long run because none of my investors have predetermined “exit” dates.
