After doing an undergrad degree in accounting (India) and reading for an MBA in finance (USA) - in addition to taking professional exams in Cost & Works accounting and in Banking - I decided that this is all too complicated. So I spent 35 years buying and selling small businesses, and running them.

My full time occupation now is UK Business Brokers where I assist lower mid market businesses (generally £2m - £50m in t/o) navigate their way to an equity event. I act as a first stop advisory on strategy and help business owners find the right business broker, M&A / corporate finance firm or boutique investment bank to fit their individual needs & exit goals - from MBO to IPO. It's a minefield out there!

I maintain the UK's only database / knowledge base on all the talent in this industry - sector specialisations, fees, fee structures, FCA status, cross border transaction experience, awards won, feedback and reputation ...all sorts!

Here's why it's nearly impossible to find the right firm without my help and here's my LinkedIn profile if you fancy getting in touch.

I'm well connected in the world of corporate finance / investment banking / corporate law, and I love introducing people. Let me know if I can open any doors for you or answer any questions you have about my world.
