About me
Why I do this work.
Selling a company is often one of the most important decisions in an owner's life. It deserves the same rigour applied to large transactions, and that rigour should be within reach of an SME, not only a large corporation.
My background is that of a transactions analyst —a Master in Finance from IE Business School and CFA Level II passed— with work on real valuations alongside the Alantra team and in investment analysis at AFI.
I work alone, and only for you. No products to sell, no crossed mandates and no third-party commissions. Only judgement, independence and discretion.

Questions
What's worth knowing.
Short answers to what owners ask most.
Does valuing my company force me to sell it?
No. The valuation is independent of any decision.
It works just as well to plan growth, bring in a partner or prepare succession. Many value only to know where they stand. The decision is always yours.
Why an independent adviser and not my bank or accountant?
Because I work only for you, with no product to place.
My only incentive is that you decide well, with analysis you can cross-check with your accountant, your lawyer or your bank. No third-party commissions. On request, I share an anonymised report as a sample of the work.
Is the process confidential?
Completely, at every stage.
A confidentiality agreement is signed before anything sensitive is shared, and no counterparty receives information without your go-ahead.
Do you only advise on sales?
No. I cover the main corporate deals an SME faces.
Valuation, financing, bringing in partners or investors, restructuring, and sale or succession. We start with what you need today.
What do I need to start?
Less than you imagine: your accounts and little more.
With the accounts and ownership structure we begin. You don't need everything on day one; I tell you what we need at each stage.
