International corporates
We help large, international corporates with important bolt-on acquisitions or disposals, irrespective of deal size. While these transactions may fall below the radar screen of the larger investment banks, they are nonetheless strategically important and demand the very highest levels of sector understanding, senior advice and committed execution support.
World-class owner-managed businesses
We help world-class private and owner-managed businesses and their shareholders in achieving their most important strategic objectives. Whether in realising value after many years of hard work, or in raising business-critical growth capital, we bring a level of senior commitment, attention and understanding that can only come from a partnership founded, built and owned by its people.
Private equity and venture capital firms
We advise a select number of private equity and venture capital firms on important acquisitions and disposals in technology sectors where our deep sector understanding and relationships can bring compelling competitive advantages. We focus on helping unlock especially complex or competitive acquisition opportunities and in realising value from less straightforward investments.
“Strata assisted us with a complex dual track process that resulted in a successful sale of Holvi to one of the global leaders in digital banking, BBVA. Through a dedicated and insightful process they helped keep up competitive tension, with two attractive yet very different options until the transaction closed. We achieved a great result working with Strata and can offer only the highest recommendation.”
