“Eleanor has successfully advised me on numerous transactions over the years. Not only is she technically strong but also easy to work with. I know she has my best interests at heart and is tenacious at getting the deal done"
Eleanor enjoys working with Entrepreneurs throughout the life-cycle of their investment journey. She understands the pinch points of both growing and maturing businesses and what investors and acquirers look for at each stage. She likes working with businesses in a variety of sectors as often the most exciting deals are when dynamics from one industry can be applied to another.
Knowing that “the devil is in the detail” Eleanor ensures she understands the nuances of the businesses she represents and the individual goals of her clients. Armed with this knowledge she is able to present the business in its best light and act as a sounding board to her clients to discuss, debate and explore the pros and cons of options, tactics and strategies throughout the transaction. Combining this leads to the right deal for the business and its shareholders.

“We have worked with Kristian over a number of years and on several different transactions, not just at MSS. Kristian advised against exiting in full earlier and it has proven to be excellent advice. We were wary of private equity but he found an ideal investment partner for us as founding entrepreneurs and made sure the deal happened.”
The experience and expertise of the ABG Corporate Finance team proved to be vital. They managed interest from both our UK competitors and overseas trade acquirers to help us secure the best possible outcome.
Eleanor was instrumental in getting our Management Buy Out over the line and so when it came to our exit we knew we wanted her by our side. Yet again, she did an excellent job.
Having initially tried, and failed, to negotiate a business sale without an adviser I can now see the true value that high quality advice adds. Eleanor and Dan were not only a great pleasure to work with, but they shouldered the burden of complex discussions and delivered a deal that we would never have been able to negotiate on our own.
We had a long-term strategic interest in the success of this deal, through ongoing stakeholder relationships. The ABG CF team understood that and ran a process tailored to that need. Having been on the other side of the table when we first acquired the business, it was an easy decision to appoint Kristian to act in the same capacity for us at our own exit.
Kristian provided practical advice and insight at every stage. He helped us to understand the process, including the complexities of cross-border deals and dealing with private equity-backed consolidators. He made sure we secured a deal that was right for us as entrepreneurs and also our angel investors.
The ABG Corporate Finance team provided invaluable assistance to the management team of Egress in developing a well thought through and ambitious business plan to enable both us and our banking partners, Triplepoint, to build conviction around the investment. We always enjoy working with ABG Corporate Finance who consistently provide sensible, pragmatic input into transactions.
Kristian led our engagement, moving us methodically and successfully through to deal completion with what was a sophisticated and experienced buyer. We would not hesitate in recommending ABG Corporate Finance, who maintained the highest levels of professionalism, attention to detail, patience, tenacity and good humour throughout our exit journey. Does what it says on the tin!
