Deal Advisory

Why Gerald Edelman?
Our team offers a full suite of Deal Advisory services for business owners and entrepreneurs at each stage of the business lifecycle. We draw on decades of experience managing corporate deals across a broad range of industries, during which time we’ve built a substantial network of buyers and investors at both local and international level.
Unlike other Deal Advisory services in London and across the UK, we offer complete transparency over costs and the majority of our fees are payable at completion. That means we only take on deals and transactions that we believe hold a high chance of success for our clients, something we can usually determine from our initial free consultation.

Finding the right partner is essential to help guide you through the process of selling your business or raising funds. Our team draws on decades of expertise to ensure saleability is enhanced and value is maximised.
We are very selective about the clients we work with, focusing on those with a greater than 80% chance of success and our fees are structured accordingly. Our success rates are extremely high!
Our processes generally last for four to six months, but every transaction is different. We often work with clients for up to 2 years in advance of an exit, and sometimes a process does take a lot longer.
