Join our M&A partner programme:
independent M&A and
financing expertise
for your clients
Accountants, wealth managers, part-time FDs, financial consultants and corporate lawyers: our M&A partner programme gives you access to our mergers and acquisitions and corporate financing expertise, so you can offer your clients complete support on sales, acquisitions and funding — with no exclusivity.
M&A and financing deals completed
Countries covered
Off-market transactions
Used by more than 10,000 companies in 120 countries
Your clients have corporate finance projects.
Give them the means to deliver them.
Company acquisitions, share sales, corporate financing, debt raising, external growth — these corporate finance transactions call for specialist mergers and acquisitions expertise that few advisers can deliver on their own, for lack of a network, tools or dedicated time.
By joining the Collaboration Capital partner programme, you do not hand your client over: you widen the scope of what you offer, backed by an independent M&A and corporate finance advisory firm active in 120 countries, acting solely in the interest of your client — and of your relationship with them. No conflicts of interest, no imposed exclusivity, and a transparent commission on every mission you introduce.
Independent financial advice, free of conflicts of interest
No bank and no investment fund stands behind us. Our M&A and financing advice is free from any sales pressure — always aligned with your client's interests and with your relationship with them.
The DEAL Diamond method: AI and human expertise combined
Our DEAL Diamond method combines artificial intelligence with senior human advisers to identify the right targets, structure the financing and secure each transaction — up to 10× faster than traditional approaches, according to our internal measurements.
Transparent fees, zero exclusivity
No imposed exclusivity, no hidden fixed fees. Your clients know exactly what they are paying. You choose the services included and earn a commission on every mission completed.
Whatever your profession, an M&A partnership
strengthens the value you bring to your clients
Select your profession to see how our
M&A and corporate financing expertise changes
your advisory offer in practice.
Accountants: lead the sale and acquisition projects of your SME clients
The accountant is the first person an SME or mid-cap owner confides in. You hold the financial history, the client's trust and an in-depth knowledge of the business. All you are missing is the M&A toolkit — business valuation, data room, buyer scouting — to turn that strategic role into a full mergers and acquisitions advisory mission.
→ Selling a business: support through to completion
Your client, who owns a manufacturing SME, is planning to pass the business on within 3 years. You coordinate the accounting and tax preparation; we run the M&A process, the valuation and the search for qualified buyers — 80% of them off-market.
→ External acquisition: AI-driven scouting and financing structure
Your client wants to grow by acquiring a company. We run AI-driven target scouting across 45 countries and structure the LBO or acquisition debt financing. You carry out the accounting due diligence.
→ OBO / family LBO: financial and tax structuring
Internal succession through a management buy-out or owner buy-out. We structure the financing and the capital structure; you handle the tax, employment and legal aspects.
Wealth managers: get involved from the business sale stage
As a wealth manager (CGP, the French equivalent of an independent financial adviser), you advise business-owner clients on their wealth strategy — but the sale price achieved in the transaction determines everything you can do for them afterwards. Taking part in the run-up to the business sale alongside an independent M&A financial adviser fundamentally changes your position.
→ Business sale and reinvestment of the proceeds
Your client is selling their company for EUR 4 million. You prepare the reinvestment and tax planning strategy; we work to maximise the sale price through a rigorous M&A process and a competitive process among qualified buyers.
→ Acquiring a company as an investment
A client is looking to invest in a profitable SME. We identify off-market acquisition targets suited to their investor profile and structure LBO or equity financing where needed.
→ Financing a property or industrial project
Your client wants to finance a real asset through an SPV. We reach specialist funders — senior debt, mezzanine, family offices — with no fixed fee and no exclusivity.
Financial consultants: move from strategy to execution in M&A and financing
Financial consultants advise SME and mid-cap owners on strategy, the business plan and capital allocation. Our partnership gives you access to hands-on execution: structured finance, operational M&A, and an international network of investors and funders in 45 countries.
→ Growth financing: capex and working capital
Your client, a manufacturing SME, is seeking EUR 2 million to fund capex or working capital. You have prepared the business plan and financial projections; we identify the right funder and structure the deal on the best terms we can obtain.
→ Buy-and-build and external growth strategy
Your mid-cap client wants to complete 3 acquisitions in 5 years. You lead the strategy; we identify off-market targets and structure the acquisition finance.
→ Debt refinancing before a sale or fundraising
Optimising the balance sheet ahead of a fundraising or a business sale. We structure the refinancing with the full range of potential funders.
Part-time FDs: give your SME clients group-level finance director support in M&A and financing
The part-time (fractional) finance director is often the only senior finance contact of the SMEs they work with. You manage cash, reporting and banking relationships — but corporate finance transactions (sales, acquisitions, fundraising) require dedicated M&A expertise, which you can now call on whenever you need it.
→ Financing working capital and trade receivables
Your SME client needs EUR 800,000 to finance its trade receivables and operating cycle. You coordinate the financial file; we approach factoring and short-term debt providers to obtain the most suitable terms.
→ Supporting a business sale
The founder wants to sell within 18 months. You coordinate the preparation of the financial statements and business plan; we structure the sale process, the valuation and the search for qualified buyers.
→ Fundraising and investor roadshow
Your client is looking for a minority investor to fund its growth. You prepare the financial documents; we run the investor roadshow and provide access to family offices and equity funds.
Corporate lawyers: strengthen every M&A transaction with independent, senior financial advice
The corporate lawyer is the legal linchpin of M&A transactions. An independent M&A financial adviser at their side strengthens the file, supports the valuation of the business and helps move the transaction through to completion.
→ SME and mid-cap M&A: deals of EUR 1–100 million
A transaction of EUR 1–100 million. You lead the SPA, the warranty and indemnity package and the legal due diligence; we structure the acquisition finance, manage the financial virtual data room (VDR) and negotiate the commercial terms.
→ Financial restructuring and asset disposal
Your client is in financial difficulty and wants to refinance its debt or sell a strategic asset. We structure the financing or disposal solution alongside your work on the legal proceedings.
→ Joint ventures and SPV project financing
Financial structuring and funding of a joint vehicle (SPV, project debt, equity). We work on the financing structure, the search for co-investors and access to specialist funders.
