Operators who became the advisor we wanted.
Leprince Group is a sell-side M&A firm and verified buyer network for 8-9 figure businesses. We have built, scaled, and sold in this category ourselves, and we advise the way we wished we had been advised.
We did it for ourselves.
Most advisors have only ever advised. We built Creed Media from an idea to 150 people, four offices and $75m in sales, then sold a stake to Aser Ventures. We don't start businesses, we fix and grow established ones, finding the value stuck inside them and making them worth far more, alongside great founders and owning a piece of the best.
Get founders the exit their work deserves.
Too many great businesses sell for less than they are worth, to the wrong buyer, because they went to market unprepared and without competition. We exist to change that: to prepare the business, run a genuinely competitive process, and align our fee with your result. And on the other side of the table, to give serious acquirers access to verified, off-market deal flow they cannot find anywhere else.
Operator-led
Advised by people who have built and sold businesses at scale, not career intermediaries.
Aligned
We earn the majority of our fee at close. We win when you do.
Verified
Every deal on our platform is manually screened. We are not a marketplace.
Talk to the team.
Whether you are selling, acquiring, or exploring, it starts with one conversation.
- Your first call is with a senior principal, not a sales team.
- Sellers leave with an indicative valuation and what is capping it.
- Buyers leave with a clear read on access and current mandates.
- No cost, no obligation.
Common questions about the firm.
What is Leprince Group?
An operator-led M&A firm for founder-led and family-owned businesses. We run sell-side processes, operate a verified buyer network, and work hands-on with owners to grow enterprise value before a sale.
How are you different from a broker?
We have built and sold businesses ourselves, we prepare companies before going to market, and the majority of our fee is earned at close. A broker lists a business; we run the whole outcome.
Who do you work with?
Founder-owned and family-held businesses at 8-9 figures, and verified acquirers: strategics, funds, and family offices.
Where are you based?
Etihad Towers, Abu Dhabi, working with founders and buyers internationally.
How does Leprince Group charge?
The majority of our fee is earned at close, aligned with your outcome. Engagement structure varies by transaction type, company profile, and advisory scope: a sell-side mandate is success-fee weighted, buyer network access is free for qualified acquirers, and partners earn an agreed share at close. We walk through fees, timing, and any transaction-related costs during the initial qualification call, before you commit to anything.
Let us tell you where the value is.
Whether you are thinking about an exit or looking to acquire, the first conversation is free and without obligation.
