At Azola Consulting, we manage your financial transactions.

Azola’z corporate finance advisers guide your financial transaction to a successful outcome. We have worked with organisations across many different sectors from owner-managed businesses to international companies and Private Equity Funds.
Our advisory teams will work with you through the whole process until the deal is complete – through a sale, merger or acquisition.

Acquisitions – corporate acquisitions/mergers and acquisitions and management led transactions such as: management buy out (MBO), management buy in (MBI) and buy-in management buy out (BIMBO)
Disposals – corporate divestment programmes, non-core business disposal (spin-off, carve-out) and retirement sales
Raising funds – selecting the right type of funding (debt, equity or a mix, IPO) and developing an attractive proposition to potential funders
