What clients usually ask
What does an M&A advisory firm actually do?
An M&A advisor helps plan, structure and execute acquisitions, business sales and other ownership transactions, covering valuation, counterparties, diligence, negotiation and closing.
What is the difference between buy-side and sell-side M&A advisory?
Buy-side advisory works with the acquirer, from identifying opportunities to negotiating the purchase. Sell-side advisory works with owners looking to sell all or part of a business.
When should I bring in an M&A advisor?
Ideally, before approaching buyers, sellers or investors. Early involvement gives enough time to assess the opportunity, prepare the business and shape the transaction properly.

Yes. Our capital advisory covers equity, debt and structured capital, including positioning, investor or lender discussions, deal terms and coordination through closing.

Fees depend on the mandate and are agreed upfront. They may include a working retainer together with a success fee linked to completion of the transaction.
How do I know if my business is ready for an M&A transaction?
A business is usually better prepared when its financials, ownership, growth story, key contracts and transaction objectives are clear before approaching the market.
What should be prepared before approaching buyers or investors?
Financial information, business performance, ownership details, growth plans and key commercial documents should be organised before serious conversations begin.
How is a business valued during an M&A transaction?
