You have closed deals most owners will only ever read about.
I have never sold a small business myself. Does that matter?
No. Your value is deal judgement, buyer relationships, and the confidence your name gives a first-time seller. The sector knowledge sits with our specialists and our exited-operator partners. You bring the institutional weight, and the doors.
How much time does this actually take?
As little as your name on the page and the odd call. Some partners never go beyond that. Others choose to work deals. Your call, every time.
Do I have to get involved in deals?
No. Lending your name and the occasional introduction is a complete and welcome version of this.
What is in it for me beyond the money?
You stay in the deal flow without a full-time seat, you lend your name to something with real momentum, and you earn on the network you spent a career building. Many of our partners simply enjoy being close to live deals again.
Will my name be on anything I cannot stand behind?
You approve your own bio and quote. We never use your name in buyer-facing materials without your written permission.
Is this properly set up?', answer:
You have sat across from every kind of buyer.
Private equity, strategics, family offices. You know how they price, where they push, and when they are bluffing. Owners do not, and it costs them.
Your pedigree reassures the room.
A first-time seller, their lawyer and their accountant all relax when the adviser on the other side of the deal carries an institutional name.
Your network is the asset.
A warm line into an acquirer that takes you one message saves us months of cold process. That is where deals are won.

See how the partnership works
What an Advisory Partner actually does. And does not.
Light touch, or lead the deal. Three qualitative bands. No percentages on the page.
Every engagement is by invitation and agreed in writing before you lift a finger, so there is never a debate afterwards about who did what.
You are paid only when a deal you touch completes and our fee clears. The full tiered fee schedule sits inside the Advisory Partner Agreement.
In practice, that is five to six figures on a completed deal, typically paid within weeks of close.
Who the programme is for, what we ask, and how Advisory Partners get paid.
"I've known Joe for four years and I'm one of the shareholders backing what he's building. He's honourable, a true gentleman, and what's coming in Building Services, Facilities Management, and Healthcare M&A is genuinely exciting. I've spent thirty years building my network, and when an owner I'm speaking with starts exploring a sale, I make a warm intro to Joe and the team so we can work the process together."
