Kingsworth has chosen to focus specifically upon family businesses, shareholders of privately-owned companies and entrepreneurs. This focus stems from the experience of John Buxton who has spent more than 20 years focusing upon this niche of the broader corporate advisory marketplace.

These clients typically fall into three categories, namely:

• companies which have been owned by successive generations of the same family;
• companies which are owned by two or more business partners from separate families; and
• family companies which also have external shareholders, whether individual angel investors or private equity investors.

Being independent, Kingsworth can be entirely objective about the advice which it provides with no danger of any conflict arising with other professional advisers who may be providing related advice, for example, in the areas of wealth management or legal services.
