Our clients' 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.

Momentum delivered the result we were looking for when we first began working with them back in 2006. Since the original management buyout, they have been with us throughout the entire journey, always being available to provide advice and assistance. The support over the last five years has been invaluable. We wanted the personal and long term approach which Momentum offered and we would unreservedly recommend them to any management team considering a buyout or company sale.

Not having experienced a sale process before, the advice and guidance from Momentum was invaluable. The personal service from a specialist boutique corporate finance advisor was essential and the partners at Momentum did an outstanding job. We were particularly impressed by their commitment, professionalism and entrepreneurial approach, and we would have no hesitation in recommending them to business owners considering the sale of their business.

We are absolutely delighted with the deal that Momentum negotiated on our behalf. We were particularly impressed with Momentum’s ability to gain access to the most senior people in large multinationals as easily as if dealing with smaller companies. I am sure that this is substantially assisted by their approach of having multiple partners working on the deals that they are involved with. We would not hesitate to recommend Momentum to any management team considering a management buy out or the sale of their business particularly where international buyers are likely to be involved.

With a reshaped management team, which has now bought a significant stake in the business, we are ideally placed to capture the potential in our products and markets. Momentum Corporate Finance has provided clear strategic advice over the last twelve months which has allowed us to refocus the business and execute the transaction. We are looking forward to a long term relationship with Momentum and are delighted to welcome Rob Crews to the Board as non-executive Chairman.

Momentum brought many key skills to the preparation and negotiation of this successful deal. Both the shareholders and acquirers complimented the team on the professional management of the sale process.

I am delighted with the excellent result Momentum has achieved for us. It was a pleasure to work with advisers who understand entrepreneurs and who ran an international sale process to a successful conclusion. The combination of ‘Big 4’ experience and excellent personal service was impressive.

Momentum Corporate Finance not only helped us to select and negotiate with our new funding partner but they provided invaluable strategic advice which will assist us in delivering further growth. We have asked the Momentum team to continue their involvement as we roll out our expansion plans.

Momentum delivered an excellent result for our team. The personal involvement of the partners throughout the entire transaction was a key factor in securing the deal - and was exactly as had been promised by Momentum at our first meeting. Rob and Tony's personal knowledge and experience of identifying and dealing with foreign bidders was an essential ingredient in the sale process. The entire team at Momentum did a superb job.

Momentum provided an outstanding level of service to the management team and to the business and their help and advice did not stop when the deal was done. The Momentum partners, Tony and Rob, provided an invaluable sounding board throughout the period that we owned the business. They were always readily available to provide advice and assistance and this included regular attendance at board meetings. Over this period they developed a deep understanding of our business and our own personal aspirations. This certainly helped enormously when the shareholders reviewed the exit opportunities for the business. Momentum's help and advice along with their negotiating expertise proved invaluable during the exit process, and certainly helped to maximise the returns to all shareholders. We would unreservedly recommend Momentum to any management team considering an MBO or the sale of their business.

The best thing I ever did was to pick up the telephone to Momentum Corporate Finance. They delivered an exceptional service and guided my team through this complex transaction achieving a fantastic result.
