Approach

We stand beside the seller.

We work exclusively on the sell side. We do not represent buyers, and we do not balance competing loyalties. Every mandate we accept has a single objective: the best possible outcome for the owner.

Our interests are aligned with yours. We succeed when the transaction succeeds — on value, on terms, and on the future of the business you have built.

History

What makes us different?

Maverick's founder Mike Driver started as a successful entrepreneur. He sold his first company, a document management business, to private equity for £50m in 2006. That sale helped him recognise there was a need for an independent advisory firm to help sell privately held companies. He subsequently founded Convex Capital to fill that gap. In 2019, Mike sold Convex Capital to a UK listed professional services company for £22.5m

He understood that business owners looking to sell their companies prefer to be guided by a successful entrepreneur like themselves, not a professional consultant looking for optimal outcome.

Expertise

We run every mandate from start to finish.

Strategic Preparation

Before a business goes to market, we help owners understand its value, address what buyers will question, and present the company with clarity and conviction.

Buyer Identification

We identify and approach strategic and financial buyers, regionally and internationally, managing a discreet process that creates genuine competition.
