Be retrieved when an owner starts thinking about a sale.
Owners research advisers long before they call one. We make your deal types, sectors, deal sizes and completed transactions explicit enough to be matched to what they search for.
The retrieval problem
Owners search by sector and deal size. Sites list services.
An owner of a £20m engineering business asks who advises on selling a company like theirs. Most corporate finance sites list M&A, MBOs and fundraising in general terms. The adviser retrieved is the one that states its sectors, its deal sizes and the transactions it can publish.

Common questions
Our deals are confidential. What can we publish?
Only what you can already disclose: deal types, sectors, size bands and tombstones clients have agreed to. Retrieval depends on clarity, not on confidential detail.
Our clients come through accountants and lawyers.
Those introducers search for advisers by sector and deal size. So do the owners they introduce, before the first meeting.
