About
A founder-led firm built around introductions that matter.
What we do
Origination, qualification, introduction.
Many good private businesses never come to market through a formal sale process, and many capable acquirers struggle to find them. We work in the space between: identifying businesses whose owners may be open to a transaction, understanding what qualified acquirers are looking for, and connecting the two when there is a genuine fit.
The firm is founder-led. Each mandate, each business and each introducer relationship is handled personally, with a deliberately limited number of active engagements.
Principles
How we work.
- Confidentiality
- Information is shared only with consent, on a need-to-know basis, and normally under a confidentiality agreement.
- Selectivity
- We take on mandates and opportunities where we believe we can be useful, and say so plainly when we cannot.
- Alignment
- We are paid on a success basis, under terms agreed in writing in advance. There are no membership or listing fees.
- Clarity of role
- We make introductions. We do not give legal, tax or regulated investment advice, and we never hold client money.
Geographic focus
UK, Europe and MENA.
- UK owner-managed and founder-led businesses, and the acquirers active in the UK lower and mid-market.
- European acquirers and opportunities, including cross-border transactions into and out of the UK.
- Gulf and wider Middle Eastern acquirers and family offices seeking UK and European businesses, and opportunities within the region.
Our role in a transaction
Buyers and sellers negotiate and complete transactions through their own lawyers, accountants, banks and other professional advisers. Transaction consideration passes directly between the parties; Alkhazaleh Advisory invoices any agreed fee separately. No outcome is guaranteed, and every party should take independent professional advice.
