“At Dyer Baade & Company, we predominantly work with owner-managed businesses seeking a private market capital event, i.e. a sale of their business either to a trade buyer or private equity investor.
As a result, most of our deal values tend to be between £15m - £150m and we would almost always work directly for the main decision maker and/or principal of the firm.
Working directly for CEOs, entrepreneurs and professional investors on mid-market transactions, we have developed a deep understanding of their specific needs. We know how to guide them through some of their most important strategic decisions and how to create and capture value through M&A. Through our focus, we have built an exceptionally strong track record of achieving market-leading results for our clients, which is something we are very proud of.”

What our clients say
“Daniel and the team were flawless from start to finish.”
“Dyer Baade & Co helped us run a very efficient process with a great result, twice with two separate deals. In both cases, their advice was very clear and led to an outstanding result for the shareholders at completion: however, they remained by our side thereafter too, providing invaluable on going guidance; 6 years on from the first deal, their service stands the test of time. Having been involved in six other major M&A deals, I can attest that they are more than just an M&A adviser. I would now refuse to use anyone else, whether I was buying or selling. Highly recommended!”
“We’ve worked with the Dyer Baade team on a number of transactions. Their industry knowledge and dedication to achieve a great outcome is exceptional. We have no hesitation to recommend them to buyers and sellers.”
“Dyer Baade & Company have been a long standing and trusted adviser of our firm on a number of M&A and corporate finance related matters. Their insights, guidance and advice have been very valuable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others who are looking for outstanding M&A advice.”
“I really enjoyed working with Daniel and the team on the sale of my business. They helped me to prepare the business and all the marketing material, approached potential buyers, solicited and negotiated competitive offers. They also coordinated the due diligence, led the negations and provided valuable input on the commercial terms in the Sale and Purchase Agreement. Their support was flawless from start to finish. Highly recommended!”
“The team at Dyer Baade & Co are one of the leading M&A advisers in the sector. They have deep strategic, financial and technical expertise which can make all the difference on complex transactions - buy-side and sell-side. I very much enjoyed working with them and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them further.”
“The team at Dyer Baade is exceptionally focused and dedicated. Their expertise is a clear competitive advantage for any firm who is using them as M&A adviser.”
“I’ve worked with the Dyer Baade team on a number of transactions. They have always been very professional with the best client interests at their heart. Their sector expertise is outstanding and their advice is always very thought through. It is a pleasure to work with Dyer Baade and I would recommend them to anyone looking to appoint a first class M&A adviser.”
“We have worked with Dyer Baade on circa 20 M&A deals over the last few years. They are probably the leading M&A adviser in the mid market space. Their industry knowledge and ability to find solutions to complex challenges is hard to match. I have no hesitation to recommend them to potential sellers and buyers.”
“It was a pleasure to have Daniel and the team on our side. They advised us from start to finish through a complex and protracted process. Thanks to their guidance and advice, we achieve an exceptional result. They clearly know their trade.”
“It was a pleasure to have Dyer Baade on our side during the sale of our UK business. They ran a very efficient process, always putting the client’s interests first. Highly recommend.”
“Daniel and his team are rare people, who instinctively find quick ways to build peer-level trusting relationships and resolve conflicts before, during and after a transaction closes. I trust he and his team implicitly and rarely make that statement.”
“The best professional advisers are efficient, responsive and provide high quality advice. Stuart, Daniel and their team met all of these criteria. I was particularly impressed by their ability to anticipate issues and provide appropriate solutions when challenges arose.”
“Daniel and the team are very dedicated to achieving the best outcomes for their clients. Their combination of M&A expertise and strategic advice is exceptional. Highly recommended.”
“Dyer Baade provides a very professional and client centric M&A service. Their knowledge and expertise are a true asset to make well informed M&A decisions.”
“Dyer Baade helped us to navigate through a complex sales process from start to finish. Based on a thorough analysis of our business and the market, they helped us to identify a number of buyers that matched our criteria. Daniel managed to achieve competitive bidding between a number of buyers which led to a very attractive valuation. Furthermore, they helped us to prepare and navigate through due diligence and provided excellent advice on the commercial side of the legal documentation. I have no hesitation in recommending them to other business owners who want to sell their business.”
How do we work?
1
Initial Strategic Assessment
The first step in our process is always an initial call followed by our strategic assessment. At this - pre-engagement - stage, we provide you with our initial thoughts on the valuation of your business, appetite from investors and how a potential transaction could be structured to meet your needs and expectations.
If, following our strategic assessment, we decide to work together, we will start with a thorough preparation. To ensure that we can achieve the best results, we will invest significant time and resources to understand the business, the market, potential buyers and how to improve valuation and deal terms for our clients.

Preparation
3
Deal Strategy
Based on a thorough understanding of the business, its position in the market and how potential investors will look at the business, we develop a deal strategy that is designed to achieve the optimal result for your transaction. This could for example be a highly competitive auction process to maximise price or an off-market approach of a small number of selected buyers to maintain confidentiality.
4
Execution
Once we have developed the deal strategy we will start with the execution, this involves approaching investors in line with our mandate. We will lead all investor communication, negotiation, due diligence management, and objection handling, and will work very closely with all stakeholders to ensure an efficient execution.
5
Results
The combination of thorough preparation, a compelling deal strategy and efficient execution enables us to deliver execution results across all key aspects of the transaction: i) valuation, ii) structure, iii) certainty, iv) efficiency and v) cultural fit.
