Services

How we help founders at every milestone.

Every founder's journey is shaped by defining moments. Some are planned, others arrive unexpectedly. We work with founder-led businesses in marketing services, technology and data across four areas, whether you are building value, selling, acquiring or raising capital.


Growth Advisory

Strategic advice to help you build a stronger, more valuable business. We help founders sharpen positioning, improve profitability, strengthen financial insight and bring experienced support around the board table.

Who it is for

Founder-led businesses that have reached a point where they need more structure, sharper positioning or stronger performance, whether or not a transaction is on the horizon.

Growth Advisory

Sell Your Business

Partner-led advice for shareholders considering a sale, from preparation through to completion. We stay close at every step so you can keep running the business while the process runs.

Who it is for

Shareholders considering a sale, either now or in the next few years, who want the right outcome rather than simply the highest headline valuation.

Sell Your Business

Buy a Business

Buy-side advice for businesses growing through acquisition. Most acquisition strategies are too passive, so we start with the strategy and the brief, then create opportunities rather than waiting for them to come to market.

Who it is for

Founders, management teams and investors with the ambition to acquire but limited internal M&A capacity to run the process.

Fundraising

Capital raising advice for early-stage and scaling founders. We help you prepare the model and the story, define the right investor universe, then support introductions, negotiations and completion.

Who it is for

Founders raising seed, pre-Series A and Series A capital who need more than investor access, particularly where the growth plan or the investor story needs sharpening.

Where to start

Not sure which one you need?

Most founders arrive with a question rather than a service in mind. This is the quickest way to work out where to begin.

You are considering a sale, now or in the next few years
Sell Your Business
You want to grow by acquiring another business
Buy a Business
You need capital rather than a sale
Fundraising
None of those yet, and you want to build a more valuable business first

Still not sure? The M&A Value Assessment takes two minutes and shows you how your business measures up against the factors buyers care about most.

Why Milestone

We are a boutique advisory. Every engagement is led by a partner, and our team have built and run businesses themselves.

Specialists, not generalists

We work in marketing services, technology and data. That focus means we know the buyers, the acquirers and the investors in these sectors, and we understand how value is actually created and assessed in them.

Partner-led at every step

You work with the same senior people from first conversation to completion. Nothing is handed down to a junior team once the engagement begins.

More than a transaction

Selling is one option we help you prepare for, not a requirement. Much of our work is helping founders build a stronger business, whether that leads to a sale, an acquisition, an investment, or simply a better company.
