Shelbourne Advisory

What we do

M&A Advisory

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

  • Founders planning an exit
  • Shareholders seeking partial liquidity
  • Management teams buying the business
  • Acquirers building scale

What we do

We 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. For 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.

In practice

Where m&a advisory is needed.

  • 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.
