Accredited advisors

We work on a partnership model and we explain what that means: the outcome of a transaction depends on who sits opposite the owner, and you are entitled to know that in advance.

What the partnership model is

A transaction is led by a specific person.

Some of those people work at MAXCAPITAL; others are independent specialists who have passed our accreditation and work under our name on specific transactions. Most consulting and law practices in the world are built this way: each partner has their own clients and their own specialisation, while the firm provides the technology, the standard and accountability for quality.

What the advisor does

Leads the relationship with the owner, takes part in negotiation and makes sure you are understood. They know your sector and your region — and often know the buyers personally.

What MAXCAPITAL does

Valuation, financial model, memorandum, data room, buyer outreach, the legal structure of the transaction and quality control. Your contract is with the firm.

Who is accountable

The firm. The advisor works to our standard and their work passes internal review. The mandate is signed with MAXCAPITAL.

Why this is better for the owner

A person rather than a department

Selling a life's work is a personal conversation. It goes to someone who understands your business from the inside.

Sector knowledge

An advisor in manufacturing and an advisor in logistics are different people. We select the one who already knows your sector.

Their own buyers

A specialist with twenty years in a sector holds contacts that sit outside any database. That often decides who ends up buying the business.

Region

The first meeting takes place where the business is.

How accreditation works

Advisor status follows screening and an interview. Time from application to decision: ten working days, and a decline always carries a reason.

1

Screening

Identity, sanctions lists, bankruptcy, disqualification, litigation, conflicts of interest. The same procedure we apply to parties to a transaction.
2

Interview

A conversation about specific companies and transactions. A professional is visible within the first ten minutes.
3

Agreement and code of conduct

Signed before the advisor gains access to clients and materials, and before their page appears on this site.
4

Annual confirmation

Status is renewed with repeat screening. Accreditation is withdrawn unilaterally with the page removed immediately.

Three rules that end an accreditation immediately

Promising a price or guaranteeing a sale to the owner · working with a client around the firm after an introduction through it · disclosing any information about the business being sold.

We publish this because an owner is entitled to know what to require from a person who presents themselves under our name.

Why the list is short

We show the people who are running transactions. An advisor whose activity pauses for twelve months moves from the page into the archive: a shopfront of names assembled for volume is misleading.

If you work on transactions yourself

We accredit the specialists owners approach first with the question of what to do with the business: business sale consultants, former corporate bankers, auditors and tax advisers with their own practice, sector experts and finance directors.

You gain a valuation, model, memorandum and data room in weeks rather than months, a buyer database, a legal pack and a name that makes the conversation easier. We gain transactions that would otherwise have reached us later. Remuneration is a share of the result, and entry is free of charge.

Discuss accreditation

Accredited advisors are independent specialists and work outside an employment relationship with MAXCAPITAL. The services agreement is entered into with the firm, which is accountable for the quality and result of the work.
