CMR's origins date back to 1984, when Mike Downey founded The Chiltern Investment Group with the objective of providing a forum for private investors to meet, review submitted business proposals, and perhaps syndicate investment in suitable propositions. The Chiltern Investment Group continues to thrive, and now forms part of the CMR investor base.

A highly imaginative, patented, new way for small to medium-sized companies to obtain bank loans - where the collateral security, interest costs and loan capital repayments are provided from cost savings. Utilising CMR's massive buying power and spread of procurement sources, truly significant cost saving are achieved - these are used to underpin the bank loan (minimum £200,000), pay the interest, plus repay the capital. For more information click the button!


CMR's Revolutionary new way to have bank loans that are effectively interest-free and with only 50% of the loan to be repaid! This apparently impossible feat is achieved by linking CMR's enormous buying power to the loan input, using the resulting cost savings to underpin the loan, pay the interest, and partially repay the capital. Click here for details.


Funding support, worldwide licensing expertise, commercially experienced executives to work alongside - these are the special resources CMR has to help inventors, innovators and universities to make the most of their ideas and intellectual property. CMR charges no fees, and only benefits from achieving a successful outcome by taking a minority equity stake.

CMR provides a global business exchange especially listing opportunities from smaller, innovative and high-growth businesses. By clicking here you will see the current opportunities that are available NOW directly through CMR. This part of our website is being dramatically updated over the next couple of month


CMR has the widest spread of expertise and connections, giving the greatest opportunity base for acquiring business partners, acquisitions or buyers. By asking CMR to handle your project you secure the best possible team of experts to ensure a success outcome quickly. For Company Sale clients, CMR is also able to input its team of cost reduction/procurement specialists to achieve profit improvement prior to the disposal and better prepare the business for salefs


This is a special CMR programme to help SME owners plan the sale of their business, whilst also maximising the financial returns obtained. We do this by helping to plan the whole exercise to optimise the business and tax circumstances, We then input our cost reduction and procurement teams to drive costs down and profits up, to greatly improve the attractiveness for potential purchasers. We then handle the actual sale or merger, seeking the widest possible range of suitable buyers or partners

This highly imaginative programme provides SME owners with a progressive, rather than immediate, outright sale. It allows the owner great flexibility whilst maximising the financial price obtained. It works by inputting a team of CMR executives to work alongside the owner, and to eventually take-over from him or her, on an earn-out basis. Ideal for all business owners wanting to retire or move onto other things


This is corporate recovery or turnaround with a big difference! This is not just a simple turnaround service (although we do that too), it involves making sure the troubled business not only survives through, but it puts its owners/directors in a much stronger and more profitable position than they were before. This is achieved not only by looking at financial resource needs with our associated investors.

If there is one thing we are good at - it's helping companies through the input of our highly skilled executives. With real cutting-edge experience at senior level, they can bring a depth of management experience that most SME's can only dream about. Often available at relatively short notice, we are able to match the requirements of the business to the skills available - often resulting in the client having access to exactly the specific industry or discipline skills needed

RMC is positioned as the CMR Group's General Business Services and Consultancy Division. It provides many essential services for SME's - click the link for more information on each.
