Having completed over 35 acquisitions ourselves, we bring a practical, commercially grounded perspective to every engagement we undertake.
DNS Corporate Advisory was founded by senior M&A professionals who have been on both sides of the deal table. Our leadership team has personally completed over 35 acquisitions, giving us a rare understanding of what it truly takes to get a transaction across the line and, crucially, what happens after completion.
We operate at the heart of the UK mid-market, advising founders, shareholders, and investors on transactions typically valued between £1m and £20m. Our approach combines rigorous financial analysis with real-world operational insight, because we know that the success of any deal depends on far more than the numbers alone.
Headquartered at 162–168 Regent Street in London, we work with ambitious businesses across a range of sectors, including professional services, technology, healthcare, e-commerce, and industrials.
The reality of an acquisition doesn't end at completion. The real challenges usually come later. Because we've been through this many times ourselves, we advise clients by looking at the full picture.
Every client works directly with a senior adviser from start to finish. We don't delegate relationships to junior staff. You get the experience you were promised at every stage of the transaction.
Our advice is shaped by real operational experience, not just theory. We consider financial, operational, commercial, and technological aspects together, ensuring our recommendations are practical and actionable.
We are candid in our views, even when they differ from our clients'. We believe in respectful challenge, not comfortable reassurance. Our clients value us because we tell them what they need to hear.
From sourcing targets and negotiating terms to integrating people, systems, and culture post-completion, we've experienced every phase first-hand through our own acquisitions.
Our six integrated service lines — transaction advisory, business valuations, start-up support, fractional CFO/FD, and business and property financing — mean clients get joined-up thinking under one roof.
We focus exclusively on the £1m–£20m enterprise value range, where we know the dynamics, the challenges, and the opportunities better than anyone. We're not a big-four firm trying to scale down.
We have deep experience across professional services, technology, healthcare, e-commerce, and industrial sectors, but our multidisciplinary approach means insights flow freely across engagements.
