M&A advisory
Fundflow advises founder-led companies on the sale of their business, with the discipline of a large-cap process. A sale is the one process a company cannot rerun: we prepare the business to institutional standard, approach a curated universe of strategic and financial buyers in parallel, and evaluate offers on every dimension, cash at close, earn-outs, rollover equity, and execution risk, not the headline number alone. A dedicated banker leads the mandate from preparation to funds flow, on success-based fees.
Discuss a potential sale in confidence.

Situations
When a sale could be the right move
An inbound approach
A buyer has come to you. The answer to one offer is a process that finds the others.
A founder exit
A full sale after years of building, run once and run right.
Buy and build
Acquiring competitors or capabilities, with the deal and its financing run as one process.
A distressed sale
When time and cash are short, a tight process protects value and certainty.
Not ready to sell outright? Debt can fund growth or partial liquidity without giving up control. We advise across both, so the recommendation fits your goals, not our fee.
