What we do

Three practices,one team.

Three practices covering the full life of a transaction, from the first question about value to the day funds are received. Advice on a sale is sharper when it is informed by what we see in capital markets, and the reverse.

01 · What we do

M&A Advisory

Sell‑side and buy‑side advice for owners, boards and acquirers, from preparation to completion.

Full and partial salesWe prepare the business for market, identify the buyers whose strategy and capital genuinely fit, and run a controlled, competitive process through to signing and completion.
Acquisitions and buy‑and‑buildFor acquirers, we find and approach targets that are not openly for sale, test the investment case and negotiate terms that hold up after the deal.
Management buyoutsStructured so the team can own what it runs, with the funding and the shareholder arrangements to match.
Mergers and joint venturesWhere two businesses are stronger together, we shape the terms, the governance and the path to completion.
Carve‑outs and divestmentsSeparating a division cleanly, with the numbers, the people and the contracts a buyer will test.
Exit preparationThe work in the year before a process that decides most of what the process can achieve.

Private Capital

Equity and debt from the investors best suited to the business and its owners.

Growth and minority equityCapital for the plan from investors who understand the business, on terms that protect what matters to the founders.
Debt and structured financeSenior, unitranche and structured facilities from banks and private credit funds, matched to cash flow rather than to a template.
RecapitalisationsReleasing value to shareholders while keeping the business properly funded for what comes next.
Investor targetingFamily offices, private equity, strategic investors and private credit funds, chosen for fit rather than for a list.
Term‑sheet negotiationThe clauses that decide control, economics and exits, negotiated before they become expensive.
Shareholder liquidityPartial sales and secondary transactions that give some shareholders an exit without forcing one on the rest.

Strategic Advisory

Work that increases value and readiness before, during and after a transaction.

Transaction readinessReporting, key‑person dependence and the issues a buyer would find, resolved before a buyer finds them.
Value enhancementThe handful of changes that move the multiple, identified and sequenced in the year before a process.
Valuation and options reviewsA clear view of what the business is worth to whom, and of every route that is open to its owners.
Succession planningOwnership transition on the family's timetable, with the business protected and the next generation ready.
Shareholder arrangementsAgreements that anticipate the moments shareholders disagree, written while everyone still agrees.
Board advisoryAn independent view at the board table on strategy, capital and the decisions the business makes least often.
