Deal Advisory
Our Deal Advisory team supports clients through every stage of the M&A process. Whether selling to a trade buyer or private equity, or acquiring a business, we provide tailored advice to achieve the best outcome. Our services include transaction services, debt advisory, strategic support, and lead advisory.
From identifying targets and buyers to conducting financial due diligence and arranging acquisition finance, we deliver clear, practical solutions to help clients navigate complex transactions with confidence.
Your partners through growth and transition
Our Deal Advisory team works with owner managers, entrepreneurs, and management teams of private companies. These are either privately owned or backed by private equity.
We support businesses in their strategic planning, often leading to a sale, covering business valuation, financial modelling, data analytics, strategic planning, and business funding.
Lead Advisory
Our Lead Advisory team supports companies and shareholders through every stage of a transaction. We advise on trade sales, management buyouts (MBOs), private equity investments, acquisitions, and accelerated M&A. Whether you’re selling, buying, or seeking investment, we guide you through complex processes – on both the buy and sell side. Our expertise ensures value is maximised, timelines are met, and the right outcomes are achieved, even in high-pressure or time-sensitive situations.
Debt Advisory
Our Debt Advisory team delivers tailored funding solutions to meet your business goals. Key areas include growth and working capital, restructuring and acquisitions when we work closely with our Deal Advisory and Tax teams to structure the most effective plans. We have a wealth of experience across asset-based lending, property finance, cash flow lending, invoice discounting, stock finance, trade finance and asset finance so can often provide a number of different funding solutions. We always offer bespoke solutions ensuring the right funding, at the right time, on the right terms.
Transaction Services
Our Transaction Services team supports clients throughout the deal cycle – from acquisition due diligence to refinancing and sale preparation. We specialise in financial due diligence for corporate and private equity clients, vendor due diligence, readiness assessments, and vendor assistance. We also provide financial due diligence and data analytics to support transactions or enhance management information. Our expert insights help you make informed decisions, maximise value, and navigate each stage of the transaction with confidence.
Strategic Support
Our Strategic Support team works with businesses across the full deal cycle – before and after a transaction. We help owners develop clear strategic plans, prepare robust financial information, and support investors post deal. Our services include strategic review workshops, financial modelling, live deal support, business valuations, and data analytics. Whether you’re planning a transaction or navigating its aftermath, we provide the insight and tools needed to drive informed decisions and long-term value.

Tax
Corporate finance deals often have complex tax implications. Whether it’s structuring a sale, managing capital gains, or navigating VAT, our Tax team ensures your transaction is as tax-efficient as possible and fully compliant. Early tax planning can protect value and avoid surprises later.
Business Recovery
Integrated with Deal Advisory, our Business Recovery team provides strategic turnaround solutions that enhance business viability and investor confidence - crucial before transactions, refinancing, or restructuring. This ensures informed decisions and maximises value throughout the deal lifecycle.
Accounts
Up-to-date, accurate accounts are essential in any deal. Our Accounts team prepares clean financials, management reports, and forecasts to support valuations and inform decisions - keeping you deal-ready and compliant throughout the process.
