Director & Deal Adviser
Jamie Busby
I help business owners grow or exit without selling out.
As a strategic partner, buyer, and consultant, I work with founders who are bottlenecked, burnt out, or scaling fast, and need experienced support to unlock the next chapter. Whether through clean-up strategies, bolt-on acquisitions, or full exits, my role is to make businesses scalable, investable, and sellable.
I’ve advised and closed deals across multiple sectors and continents, from UK to USA, partnering with founders, funds, and family offices on transactions ranging from strategic bolt-ons to 8-figure exits.
I also speak internationally on M&A and business growth, and my insights have been featured in interviews, magazines, blogs, and published guides.
If you're a business owner and want help to grow, exit, or create optionality, feel free to reach out. I work with people I’d do a deal with.
Research & Strategic Partners Director
Ben Crayston
Ben has spent much of the past 20 years of his career in financial services gaining an understanding of the owner-manager’s psyche and financial situation in order to help them achieve their objectives.
From providing flexible financing arrangements to fund new business ventures or to purchase luxury residences, through to providing bespoke investment strategies and portfolios tailored to each individual business owner's risk appetite and investment objectives.
Ben has passed numerous financial and investment exams and previously held the Chartered Investment Manager designation with the Canadian Securities Institute.
At Precision Ben conducts extensive research to identify potential strategic buyers for projects followed by confidential outreach, coupled with business development and client servicing activities.
Associate Director
Andy Griffiths
With over 20 years of experience in financial services, Griff developed a deep understanding of financial markets, risk management and strategic decision-making, which equipped him with a unique perspective on asset valuation and market dynamics.
As the co-founder of a successful UK-based firm, he gained invaluable experience in leading business strategy, operations and teams, culminating in the sale of his shares following the company’s success. This experience also provided him with firsthand insights into the complexities of business valuations and exits.
Today, he leverages his knowledge, training in financial management and analytical approach to provide consultancy services, more specifically helping the rest of the team with strategic partnerships that benefit both our partners and SME owner-managers with EVs in the region of £5-50m seeking a successful exit.
