OUR APPROACH

The McKellar Partners approach

Our approach focuses on getting to know your business in meticulous detail, then applying that knowledge to seek out the most strategically-aligned, highest-paying buyer. We’re tenacious in our search and typically evaluate 100+ targeted potential buyers for every transaction – this expands your options and maximises your potential returns.

Our proactive research approach and global network connect you with international buyers, who tend to drive higher-value exits and represent 60% of our past transactions. When needed, we draw on our extended network of trusted global M&A advisors to secure the right transaction – even if that means sharing our fee.

We have extensive experience from past transactions and remain actively involved in our focused sectors. This gives you access to up-to-date insights, strong relationships, and strategic opportunities that others might miss.

We choose to only handle a select number of transactions at a time. This means you don’t have to compete for our attention throughout the process: Fewer transactions. More focus. Better outcomes for our clients.

We’ve intentionally built our team top-heavy: 80% of our senior team have 20+ years business, strategy and M&A working experience, meaning our clients always collaborate with seasoned experts, and have a dedicated person running the transaction.

Every detail, every deal. Due diligence is crucial in M&A, and we leave no stone unturned to safeguard your company’s value. Our step-by-step process keeps you informed at every stage.

When privacy matters, we guarantee it.

Built on reputation

You know your business, we know exits.
