ABOUT DYER BAADE & COMPANY

Independent by design. Specialist by choice.

Dyer Baade & Company is an independent M&A advisory firm specialising in £20m–£200m transactions across Financial Services and Technology in the UK and Europe.

We advise founders, shareholders, boards and investors on significant capital events, with particular expertise in Wealth & Asset Management, Fund Administration, Trust & Corporate Services, Fintech and Private Equity-backed transactions.

DISCUSS A TRANSACTION

WHO WE ARE

Specialist adviser for important capital events.

We work with high-quality businesses and investors where the outcome of a transaction matters far beyond the transaction itself.

For founders and private shareholders, this may be the first major capital event in the life of the business. For boards and institutional investors, it may involve a strategic acquisition, divestment, investment or repositioning. In each case, our role is to combine sector expertise, strategic judgement and rigorous execution to achieve the right outcome.

We deliberately operate a selective model. Our clients receive senior involvement throughout the engagement, rather than being handed down through a large execution team.

WHAT DEFINES US

01

Specialist

Deep expertise in Financial Services and Technology.

02

Independent

Advice driven by the client's objectives, not product or financing conflicts.

03

Strategic

We consider the transaction in the context of the wider business and shareholder agenda.

04

International

UK-based, advising clients across the UK and Europe with access to international buyers and investors.

05

Senior-led

Experienced advisers remain directly involved throughout the transaction.

OUR POSITION

Where entrepreneurial ownership meets institutional capital.

A large proportion of our work sits at the intersection between private ownership and institutional capital. We advise founders and shareholders engaging with Private Equity, strategic buyers and institutional investors, while also advising corporates, investors and PE-backed businesses on acquisitions and strategic transactions.

This gives us an unusually practical understanding of how sophisticated counterparties assess businesses, value opportunities and make investment decisions.

WHY DYER BAADE

Advice built around judgement, not just process.

01

Deep sector understanding

We understand the businesses we advise, the strategic landscape around them and the factors that influence valuation and buyer appetite.

02

Experienced advisers throughout

Our clients work directly with senior advisers from the first strategic discussion through negotiation and completion.

03

More than transaction execution

We help clients evaluate timing, positioning, investor choice and transaction structure before deciding how - or whether - to proceed.

OUR CLIENTS

Advising owners, boards and investors.

01 Founders & shareholders - Owners considering a majority or minority sale, growth investment or longer-term strategic options.

02‍ ‍Boards & corporates - Businesses considering acquisitions, disposals, strategic reviews or capital decisions.

03 Private Equity & investors - Financial sponsors and institutional investors pursuing acquisitions, exits, investments and portfolio-company growth.

WHERE WE ARE THR STRONGEST

Complex mid-market transactions where specialist knowledge matters.

We are typically best suited to established businesses valued between £20m and £200m, as well as high-growth businesses seeking substantial institutional growth capital.

Our core sectors are Wealth & Asset Management, Fund Administration, Trust & Corporate Services and Fintech, with broader experience across Financial Services and Technology.

We do not operate a volume-driven brokerage model and are generally not the right adviser for smaller or highly commoditised business sales.
