About Mayside Partners Limited

Mayside Partners Limited is a venture-capital firm that backs practical, cash-generative businesses and stays involved after the cheque clears. We provide funding (not loans) and partner with founders on corporate governance, communications, and go-to-market strategy so companies can scale with discipline and transparency. Our in-house and affiliated services cover PR and media (via WireNews), marketing and digital build and hosting (via MEADHANAN), trademark protection (via OMNIQUOR), and board-level oversight, including Non-Executive Director support where appropriate. We have been investing for more than 45 years, bringing a straightforward ethos—do what we say, and stand by our commitments—to every mandate. This long-term, hands-on approach allows us to combine capital with practical execution: fund well, improve steadily, and compound value over time.

Investment Approach

  • Founder-led businesses with clear unit economics
  • Capital-efficient growth with near-term paths to profitability
  • Operational levers: pricing power, process automation, and channel expansion
  • Structured downside protection and aligned governance

We focus on businesses where performance can be measured, understood, and improved. We prefer companies with identifiable customers, repeatable revenue models, and transparent cost structures. Clarity precedes capital.

In particular, we are drawn to businesses demonstrating product–market fit, recurring or highly predictable revenues, strong gross margins with room for operational refinement, and leadership teams who value disciplined governance and accountability.

Our approach is not passive. We work alongside management to identify operational leverage points that drive sustainable enterprise value, including pricing optimisation, supply chain efficiency, technology implementation, marketing precision, and capital structure refinement.

Where appropriate, we introduce structured reporting frameworks and board discipline to align incentives across shareholders and management. Growth must be profitable, or clearly on a defined and near-term path to profitability. We favour capital structures that protect downside while preserving meaningful upside participation, often deploying capital in stages aligned with performance milestones.

Mayside Partners Limited does not execute NDAs for initial discussions. We are pleased to review non-confidential materials and may consider a mutual confidentiality agreement if discussions progress. Our full policy is available in PDF format.

Non-Executive Director Services

Independent challenge, clear oversight. Our principal, Bill White, is available to serve as a Non‑Executive Director, providing seasoned guidance and constructive challenge for start‑ups, companies preparing for a stock‑exchange listing, and established businesses seeking an experienced external voice on their board.

With 45+ years of leadership across food services, finance, journalism, marketing, book publishing, real estate, Internet, and adult education, Bill brings depth, clarity, and integrity to board deliberations—balancing strategy, governance, and practical execution.

Fees: £35,000 plus VAT per annum, payable quarterly in advance, under the terms set out in our Non‑Executive Director Agreement.
