Company valuation and M&A advisory · Kuwait and the GCC
Deal-ready advice for companies the big firms are too big for.
Valuations, sell-side and buy-side M&A, and fundraising for founder-led and mid-sized businesses — led by an operator who has built, scaled and taken companies through transactions, not just advised on them.
Mid-market deals fall between two stools — we built a practice for the middle.
01
Too small for the Big 4
Large firms price for big-ticket mandates and staff them with junior teams. A business worth a few million dinars rarely gets senior attention.
02
Too complex for a broker
Listing a business is not the same as preparing it. Buyers and investors discount whatever they cannot diligence.
03
Too important to guess
A transaction is often the largest financial decision an owner makes. The price, terms and counterparty deserve a proper process.
Four fixed-scope engagements, quoted up front.
