About us

Convex is the UK’s leading sell-side only M&A advisor, with unrivalled expertise in advising entrepreneurs, founders, and owner-managers on maximising their equity value through sales to global strategic acquirers.

Convex was founded in 2010 by entrepreneurs who had experienced the journey of starting, building and ultimately selling their own businesses. We recognised that unique entrepreneurs with exceptional businesses deserved independent, trusted advice from likeminded founders whose knowledge could make a difference.

We have since worked with some of the UK’s best entrepreneurs, advising on more than 100 deals with an aggregate value in excess of £3bn. Making Convex arguably the most successful sell-side only M&A advisors in the UK.

Our accomplished team is best in class, work meticulously and is full of tenacious dealmakers. Every deal is led by our owners who have genuine skin in the game.

Our APPROACH

We understand the decision to explore the sale of your business is a momentous event. One easy to get wrong without partnering with an advisor who has walked in your shoes, can navigate the complexities of a deal and recognises how to deliver on the immense value you have built.

What separates us is our ability to see beyond the numbers, understand your unique identity and the potential synergies created with the best acquirers.

We specialise in bringing global strategic acquirers to the table and creating a controlled narrative which boosts competitive tension, whilst recognising the importance of discreet approaches to maintain confidentiality.

We are incentivised by outcome, and fully contingent on success. We only ever get paid if we deliver on our promises, which makes us fully aligned with your objectives and incredibly motivated to succeed.

Our passion is creating remarkable outcomes which represent life changing events for our clients.

Don’t take our word for it

Hear from the many exceptional entrepreneurs we have created value for.

We hope you will one day be eulogising about our work.

Personally and as a management team, we were very impressed with Convex and their approach from start to finish. The quality of work, from the initial introductory teaser through to the last paperwork in the deal was exceptional.

Three things stand out 1. their truly accomplished and experienced team, 2. knowledge of the potential buyers in our sector and international reach and 3. the strength of a level mind to remove emotion from the deal.
