Bean Partners

Bean Partners is a boutique corporate-finance and transaction-advisory firm serving founders, business owners and private-equity investors. Its own materials describe more than 20 years of experience in private capital markets and M&A, with operations listed in London, Toronto and Perth.

The firm advises on sell-side and buy-side M&A, follow-on funding, commercial due diligence, financial modelling, and data and intelligence. It focuses on businesses valued between £30 million and £300 million, particularly in built environment, advanced industrials, robotics and automation, software, healthcare and life sciences, and B2B and data services.

Its clearest differentiator is a data-led approach to preparing businesses, identifying buyers or investors, creating competitive tension and managing due diligence. Bean Partners reports a 91% M&A execution success rate and has publicised transactions including Tradenet’s sale to S&P Global and OWS Fire Rated’s sale to Haerens Group.
