Branta Advisory

Corporate finance for SME owners facing real decisions

Selling a business. Buying one. Raising money. Fixing a problem.

These moments matter — and they are rarely straightforward.

Branta helps you understand your options, structure the right solution and execute it properly.

When something important is coming, or already happening

Most SME owners don’t run corporate finance processes every day.

But at some point, something happens:

These situations are time-sensitive, high-stakes and often unclear. Branta helps you get clarity quickly, make the right calls and move forward with confidence.

Where we help

Buy or sell a business

We manage the M&A process — from preparation and positioning through to negotiation and completion.

Raise finance

We structure and secure funding that actually works for your business — not just what happens to be available.

Consultancy & turnaround

When performance, cash or lenders become difficult, we provide practical, hands-on support.

Foreign exchange

We help businesses reduce unnecessary FX costs, improve visibility and avoid structures that quietly drain cash.

Straight answers, not corporate finance theatre

A lot of firms rely on inbound enquiries, internal referrals, or processes that look good on paper.

That works — until you actually need something to happen.

Branta takes a more active role.

We identify buyers, approach targets, challenge assumptions, and push processes forward. That means more options, better positioning, and a higher chance of getting the right outcome.

You’re not paying for a process. You’re paying for progress.

Who we work with

Branta typically works with UK-based owner-managed businesses approaching a key financial decision.

Experience that shows up when it matters

Most financial situations don’t sit neatly in one box.

A business sale may involve funding constraints. A refinance may involve shareholder issues. A turnaround may require negotiation with lenders, creditors and potential buyers — all at once.

Branta brings experience across banking, restructuring, M&A and funding, and applies it commercially.

Not theory. Not generic advice. Just practical judgement based on what actually works in real situations.

For professional advisers

A significant proportion of Branta’s work comes from introductions by accountants, lawyers, lenders and other advisers.

When your client needs specialist support, the introduction matters.

Advisers refer clients to Branta when something falls outside their core scope — or when a situation needs more specialist handling.

We understand that your reputation is on the line.

That’s why we focus on clear communication, sensible advice and outcomes that reflect well on everyone involved.

If something is coming up, or already happening, it’s worth talking it through

Most situations don’t improve by waiting.

Whether you’re planning ahead or dealing with something more immediate, a short conversation can quickly clarify what your options look like.
