About The Conduit Partnership
We're an independent advisory firm built specifically for UK owner-managed businesses.
Most advisors are career professionals. We're not. We've spent decades building, scaling and exiting businesses of our own which means we understand what's actually at stake when an owner sits across from us.
We work with three types of owner: those looking to raise capital, those planning an exit in the next one to three years, and those who want ongoing strategic input as they grow.
Whatever the engagement, the principle is the same honest advice, commercial execution, and a small handful of clients at any one time so yours gets the attention it deserves.
WHAT WE ARE EXPERT AT
Why Clients Choose Us
We've sat in your chair
Every advisor claims to understand owner-managers. We've actually been them building businesses from the ground up, taking them through capital events, negotiating our own exits. When we tell you something is achievable, or a deal is the wrong one, that judgement comes from experience, not a textbook.
We tell you what we actually think
We tell you what your business is actually worth. We tell you when now is the right time to sell, raise, or hold. We tell you when an offer should be walked away from. Owners don't always want to hear it but that's what honest advice sounds like.
We take on a small number of clients
Most advisory firms run on volume. We don't. We work with a small handful of owners at any one time, which means the person you meet at the outset is the person running your engagement throughout. No juniors, no handovers, no dropped threads.
Director's Thoughts
I started The Conduit Partnership because I spent the last decade on the other side of the table as the owner, not the advisor.
I raised capital when I needed to grow. I ran acquisitions. I sat through an exit process and learned, firsthand, how few advisors genuinely understood the commercial reality of what I was going through. Most gave textbook answers to problems that weren't textbook problems.
That's what Conduit is built to fix. Honest advice from people who've done it. Straight commercial judgement when you need a call made quickly. And a small number of clients at any one time so the owner sitting opposite me has my attention, not a junior's.
If that's the kind of advisor you're looking for, get in touch.
