Our highly-experience deal advisory team offer a tailored, strategic approach to guide you through every phase of the deal cycle.
We offer truly independent advice and adopt a client-centric approach to each engagement, ensuring every decision is in your best interests and right for you. We understand the challenges and pressures faced by entrepreneurs and business owners. Putting humanity and empathy at the heart of what we do keeps us grounded; gives us focus and more often than not, wins the day.
Our strong track record speaks for itself, with a particular emphasis on advising SMEs and entrepreneurs throughout the UK and Ireland on M&A and growth capital activity. We have consistently ranked as one of the most active advisory firms across the Northern Ireland and Scottish markets, regularly topping the Experian M&A league tables.
We offer a full range of deal advisory services including:
Company Acquisitions and Disposals
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are transformative moments for any business. If you’re considering selling a business or a division, we help prepare for and manage the entire sales process, from market positioning to final negotiations, ensuring the best possible outcome for stakeholders. Our team assists clients in identifying acquisition targets, performing due diligence, and negotiating deals that maximise value.
Private Equity
We work closely with private equity firms and businesses seeking investment to facilitate growth or restructure. Whether you’re raising private equity capital, seeking an acquisition, or preparing for a sale, our deep industry knowledge and relationships within the private equity community ensure you access the right funding partners at the right time. We support clients in structuring deals that balance the interests of all parties and drive long-term value creation.
Management Buy-Outs (MBOs) and Buy-Ins (MBIs)
Whether you’re a management team looking to take ownership of a business (MBO) or an external management team seeking to acquire and lead a company (MBI), we provide expert guidance throughout the process. From valuation and financing to negotiation and structuring, we support you in every stage of securing the right deal for your management buy-out or buy-in.
Partial Realisations
When it’s time to release value from your business while retaining control, partial realisations offer a flexible solution. We assist companies and shareholders in structuring partial exits that unlock liquidity without fully divesting ownership. Our team ensures that you achieve the right balance between financial reward and continued involvement in the business.
Growth Capital
Raising growth capital is a critical step for businesses looking to scale operations, enter new markets, or fund strategic initiatives. We work with entrepreneurs and businesses to identify and secure the right growth capital solutions, whether from private equity, venture capital, or debt financing. Our team ensures you have the necessary capital to achieve your growth ambitions while maintaining control over your business direction.
Project Finance
For large-scale infrastructure and capital-intensive projects, securing the right financing is essential to success. Our project finance advisory services help businesses structure, negotiate, and secure funding for projects across sectors. We assist with both debt and equity solutions, working to align your financial strategy with the specific requirements and risks of your project.
