Hamilton Bradshaw is a mid-market private equity firm with headquarters in London, England. The company was founded in 2003, by UK serial entrepreneur and Dragons' Den panelist James Caan. Hamilton Bradshaw's main offices are located in Mayfair, London. Hamilton Bradshaw (HB) can be segmented into private equity, venture capital, recruitment, and real estate. Hamilton Bradshaw's focus is on acquiring companies that have unique selling points (USPs). In Caan's book, "The Real Deal", he affirms that, “If you don't have a Unique Selling Point – you're dead in the water."〔Caan, James. The Real Deal. London, UK: Virgin Books, 2008. Print.〕 To ensure that this is present in business opportunities that Hamilton Bradshaw evaluates, one of the first things that its investment team does is assess the business plan. ==History== Hamilton Bradshaw was founded in 2003 by BBC Television's Dragons' Den panelist and CEO James Caan, along with Tristan Ramus and Deepak Jalan. By 2002, Caan had sold off his stakes in Humana International, Recruitment International, and Alexander Mann. These sales allowed Caan to take a "gap year", studying advanced management at Harvard.〔http://startups.co.uk/james-caan-dragons-den-alexander-mann-and-hamilton-bradshaw/〕 The sale of Alexander Mann also led to James Caan forming a company that would focus on private equity. Caan says that his success at Alexander Mann has "given me the opportunity to do what I do today." One of the things that makes Hamilton Bradshaw quite unique is that unlike a lot of private equity firms...my company only invests my own money. So the good thing is that when they work, all the return is mine. The sad thing is when they don't work, unfortunately, I lose all my money. Hamilton Bradshaw employs staff in finance, media, investment, and operations. Tristan Ramus is a Managing Director and is Hamilton Bradshaw's non-executive director on company boards and is directly involved with the executive leadership of many of Hamilton Bradshaw's holdings. Caan's past experience is reflected in Hamilton Bradshaw's holdings in recruitment. Caan's first company, recruitment pioneer Alexander Mann, became one of the UK's most successful recruitment firms of the late 20th century.〔Caan, James. The Real Deal. London, UK: Virgin Books, 2008. Print〕 While Hamilton Bradshaw has a diverse range of investments, its CEO's experience in recruitment has led the company to invest in these types of businesses. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hamilton Bradshaw」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
