Flexible Engagements
Every Company is different. No two companies face the same challenges, and no two advisory relationships should look exactly alike.
Depending on a client's stage of growth, objectives and the nature of the engagement, McNeill Bay Growth Partners offers flexible engagement structures designed to align interests and provide practical, long-term support.
McNeill Bay Growth Partners is not focused on individual transactions alone.
Our objective is to become a trusted long-term advisor throughout a company's lifecycle, from formation and early capital raising through strategic growth, acquisitions, public markets and eventual exit.
Many of the strongest relationships begin with a single conversation and evolve over many years as companies grow, mature and encounter new opportunities.

-
For certain mandates, particularly strategic introductions, capital raising advisory, mergers and acquisitions and other transaction-based engagements, compensation may include a success-based component aligned with the successful completion of the transaction.
*Where appropriate, and subject to applicable minimum fees or retainer payments, legal and regulatory requirements.
-
Where appropriate, McNeill Bay Growth Partners may accept a portion of its compensation in the form of equity or equity-linked instruments.
We believe this approach can align incentives, demonstrate long-term commitment and allow us to participate alongside founders in creating lasting enterprise value.
-
Where appropriate, we may also selectively invest alongside founders, existing investors and strategic partners in businesses where we believe our experience, network and long-term partnership can contribute meaningfully to long-term success.
Co-investment decisions are made independently and are not a condition of any advisory engagement.
-
Many engagements combine multiple compensation models.
For example:
Monthly retainer plus transaction success fee
Monthly retainer plus equity participation
Fixed-fee project plus ongoing advisory retainer
Cash and equity hybrid arrangements
The objective is to create an engagement structure that aligns with the company's stage of growth, objectives and long-term strategy.
