Client's view
We were delighted with the advice provided by Momentum Corporate Finance. From the moment we met them they delivered on their promises. In particular the personal expertise and enthusiastic involvement of Rob and Alastair, the partners, was a key differentiator for Momentum. From unlocking the deal with the owner to raising the necessary funding they guided us through the entire MBO process. We would unreservedly recommend them to any team considering a buy out.
