K3 Advisory Group launches K3 Deal Advisory

The new business has been created to support entrepreneurs, investors and their advisers through growth, investment and exit strategies, with a broader range of expertise, greater execution capability and a stronger national and international footprint.

K3 Deal Advisory brings together deal leaders from three established corporate finance teams across K3 Advisory Group, including the Group’s large transaction team, technology sector specialists, and multi-service and debt advisory-focused teams.

Launching with more than 40 specialists across London, Manchester, Birmingham and other key UK locations, K3 Deal Advisory will provide strategic transaction advice to clients across the mid-market. The business will be led by Adam Zoldan, David Gardner, Ian Barton and Paul Billingham.

The enlarged team has completed more than 500 transactions and realised over £3 billion for clients, combining deep sector knowledge with access to a significant network of acquirers, investors and funders.

K3 Deal Advisory has been built around one clear purpose: helping clients make better decisions, unlock value and achieve stronger outcomes through complex financial transactions.

The business will also connect clients with specialist expertise from across K3 Advisory Group, including due diligence, tax advice, acquisition opportunities, legal support and wealth management. This gives clients access to joined-up advice across the full deal lifecycle, delivered nationally with local presence.

Michael Cauter, Chief Executive Officer at K3 Advisory Group, commented:

“K3 Deal Advisory has been created to give clients access to deeper experience, stronger execution capability and more connected advice at the moments that matter most. Transactions are rarely straightforward. Whether a client is preparing for sale, raising finance, pursuing acquisition opportunities or planning for growth, they need advisers who understand the commercial, financial and personal significance of the decision in front of them. By bringing these teams together, we are creating a deal advisory business with the scale, expertise and ambition to deliver exceptional outcomes for entrepreneurs, investors and corporates across the UK mid-market.

Adam Zoldan, Board Director at K3 Deal Advisory, commented:

“We are bringing together and building on a shared culture, entrepreneurial mindset and a high impact, hands-on approach. We have an experienced team of deal leaders that are the bridge between a complex financial process and the life-changing results they deliver. The launch of K3 Deal Advisory comes at a time when the ability to get deals over the line has never been more important.”

Over the last 12 months, the enlarged K3 Deal Advisory team has completed 50 deals across a wide range of sectors, including trade sales, management buy-outs, finance raising and strategic advisory mandates for UK and cross-border transactions.
