M&A Advisor in Dublin Seeking Businesses Upto USD 25 million

We have a single goal in mind: to provide SME business owners with the representation they truly deserve. Too often, we saw passionate entrepreneurs overlooked by large institutions, unable to access the high-level service reserved for large corporate businesses. As a small business owners, we understand that your business is not just a line item on a spreadsheet it is your baby. It is your life’s work. We also know that you typically only sell your business once, meaning there are no second chances to get it right. We started this firm with to bring that institutional-grade expertise to the SME market.

we have moved away from rigid, one-size-fits-all contracts. Instead, we offer a tiered engagement structure. We break the transaction process into clear stages from initial valuation and preparation to going to market and closing. This gives you total flexibility and control; you can move through the process at your own pace and assess the value we deliver at every milestone. We pride ourselves on absolute transparency. We charge both upfront and success fee depending on business requirement.

Investing in a Business

We believe in starting every relationship with honesty. The hard truth of M&A is that a business is only worth what a buyer is willing to pay for it. Our job is to help you see your business through an investor's eyes before they do. We are open to conversations with business owners across all sectors. However, we are rigorous in our assessment of risk. When we evaluate a business, we look for specific factors that we know from years of closing deals can drive valuations down or kill deals entirely.
The "Red Flags" We Help You Navigate.
Investors and buyers are risk-averse. We look for the following friction points so we can help you address them:
1. Operational & Structural Dependencies.
Key Man Dependency: If the business cannot function without the owner, buyers see enormous risk. The more the business revolves around you, the less transferable it is.
Employee Concentration Risk: Similarly, if critical client relationships or technical expertise sit with just one or two employees, that creates a major vulnerability.
Supplier Dependency: Over-reliance on a single supplier, or a supply chain that is fragile and difficult to replicate.
Owner Lifestyle Integration: Businesses where personal and business assets, expenses, and operations are deeply intertwined are difficult to disentangle and value cleanly.
2. Financial Health & Discipline.
Poor Cash Collection: Long debtor days, overdue invoices, or inconsistent cash flow signal operational weakness and tie up working capital.
Excessive Debt or Complexity: Overleveraged balance sheets, director loans, intercompany transactions, or convoluted corporate structures create friction and uncertainty. Lack of Financial Transparency: Incomplete records, aggressive personal expense claims running through the business, or inconsistent reporting will erode buyer confidence immediately.
Declining Margins: Revenue growth means little if margins are compressing. Buyers want to see pricing power and cost discipline.
Deferred Maintenance: We look for businesses that have cut costs to inflate short-term profit at the expense of long-term capability (e. g. , outdated technology, deferred capex).
3. Commercial & Market Position.
Customer Concentration: If 30%+ of revenue comes from a single client (or a small handful), the loss of that relationship could be catastrophic. Buyers discount heavily for this.
Stunted or Declining Growth: A plateauing revenue line raises questions about market saturation, competitive pressure, or a lack of ambition.
High Customer Churn: Even if revenue is growing, if you are constantly replacing lost clients, it signals underlying service, product, or relationship issues.
Market Headwinds: Operating in a declining, commoditized, or structurally challenged market makes it harder to present a compelling growth story.
4. Legal & Intellectual Property.
Unclear or Unprotected IP: If the value sits in proprietary knowledge or software but is not formally documented or protected, buyers will question what they are actually acquiring.
Regulatory or Legal Exposure: Pending litigation, compliance gaps, unresolved HMRC issues, or reliance on regulations that may change.
