Sell-Side M&A Advisory
You built it. We help you hand it over
on the right terms.
Selling a business you built is a decision about legacy, people, and timing — with money attached. We lead the whole process: positioning the business, building the story buyers respond to, running a competitive process, and negotiating terms that hold up after signing. We're also willing to tell you the timing isn't right, because half the value of a sale is decided before it starts.
What we do:
Equity Story Development
Shape the equity story and the materials that carry it.
Buyer Mapping
Identify and approach the buyers most likely to pay for what you've built — strategic and financial, local and cross-border.
Competitive Tension
Run a disciplined process that creates real competition rather than a single conversation.
Deal Execution
Negotiate price, structure, and the parts that get forgotten until they bite — earn-outs, conditions, transition terms.
Transition Support
Stay involved through closing and the handover that follows.
The earlier we start, the more value there is to protect.
Fundraising (Equity & Debt)
Going to market is a readiness problem before it's a capital problem.
Growth-stage companies rarely struggle to find investors — they struggle to walk in credible, with numbers that hold, a story that survives diligence, and a clear ask. We get the business genuinely investor-ready, build the model and data room, match you to the right equity or debt from our network, and run the raise through to terms that fund your next stage.
What we do:
Investor Readiness
Get the business genuinely investor ready before any outreach.
Fundraising Materials
Build the model, the narrative, and the data room that stand up to scrutiny.
Capital Matching
Match you to the right capital — equity or debt — from our investor network.
Deal Execution
Run the raise and negotiate terms that fund the next stage without giving away the cap table.
We'd rather send you in a quarter late and strong than early and stalled.
ERA - Exit Readiness Analysis
Know exactly where your business stands — before a buyer does.
Most owners believe they're ready to sell. Most find out otherwise in the middle of diligence — too late to fix what a buyer has already seen. ERA is the diagnostic that gets you ahead of it: an 8-dimensional assessment that scores your business across everything a buyer will test, maps the gaps that move value, and gives you a roadmap to close them while there's still time.
The 8 dimensions, in four groups:
Value Foundation
Financial Health · Valuation Alignment.
Organisational Resilience
Operational Maturity · Team Strength & Succession.
Deal Architecture
Investor Fit & Buyer Mapping · Strategic Fit & Market Positioning.
Human Readiness
Shareholder Structure & Tax Efficiency · Emotional & Cultural Readiness.
Each dimension is scored, and the eight combine into a single readiness band — from Exit Ready to Early Stage. The score is the start of the conversation, not the end of it.
What you receive:
ERA Scorecard
Your score across all eight dimensions, your readiness band, and the flags that matter most. The honest picture.
Gap Analysis
Which gaps actually move deal value, what a buyer sees when they find them, and the likely impact on your valuation. Not every gap is worth fixing; we tell you which ones are.
Roadmap
A concrete, time-bound action plan for each priority gap: what to fix, who needs to be involved, and what ready looks like. We don't hand you a problem list — we hand you the steps to close it.
It's where most sell-side conversations start — and it costs a fraction of a process that stalls.
