Questions, answered directly.

LePrince Group is a founder-led M&A advisory firm for mid-market companies, headquartered in Abu Dhabi and working globally. We advise owners and shareholders on selling and buying businesses, and we represent a selective number of mandates we believe will close, on an outcome-based fee model.

LePrince Group was founded by Hugo LePrince, co-founder of Creed Media, a Gen-Z marketing company recognized in Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe that sold a strategic stake to an international investment group in 2021. He went on to sell consumer products for eight figures and build Aldren, the leading retail distributor for emerging DTC brands.

No. LePrince Group is an M&A advisory firm for mid-market companies of $10m to $100m+ in enterprise value. We run selective, competitively managed sale processes. We do not operate listings or a marketplace.

Four sectors, deeply rather than broadly: Business Services and B2B, Industrials and Essential Services, Healthcare Services, and Consumer. We organize by industry rather than geography.

We work globally from our headquarters in Abu Dhabi, with operating roots in Europe and the US. The buyer pool for a good mid-market company is international, and we approach it that way.

The free first step. An honest, confidential, evidence-based view of what your company is worth, whether it would sell, and what would change the number. You request it through the Start a conversation form, and it is yours to keep whatever you decide.

Use the Start a conversation form on any page, message us on WhatsApp via the green button, or email hello@leprincegroup.com. The first conversation is confidential and without obligation.

No. We take a limited number of mandates and turn down the rest. If we do not believe your company will sell at the price it deserves, we tell you why, and what would change our answer. That honesty is part of the product.

Mid-market companies of roughly $10m to $100m+ in enterprise value, on both the sell-side and the buy-side.

Confidentiality is structural for us. Buyers are approached under non-disclosure agreements, information is released in stages, and your company's name is withheld until a buyer is qualified and serious. We never publicise clients, mandates, or deals.

A well-run mid-market sale usually takes six to twelve months from preparation to close. Preparation quality is the biggest factor an owner controls. Our guide on timing covers it in detail.

Outcome-based pricing. Our fee is tied to the close, the terms, and the value achieved, not billed hourly. We only win when you do.

Our model is outcome-based: the fee rides on the result rather than a fee clock. For how that applies to your specific situation, talk to the team; the structure is agreed clearly before any mandate starts.

Nothing. It is free, confidential, and yours to keep whether or not you ever work with us.

Yes. We advise corporates, private equity, family offices, and experienced individual acquirers on buy-side M&A in our four sectors: sourcing the right targets, running diligence that tells the truth, and structuring deals so the value holds.

We do not run a public listing. Qualified buyers in our sectors should tell us their thesis through the Start a conversation form; when a mandate fits, we approach the right buyers directly and confidentially.

Yes. The valuation estimator, the investment teaser creator, the guides, and the glossary are free. To receive a final result from a tool we ask for your contact details once, so we can follow up if you want us to.

The tools run in your browser, and what you type into them is not transmitted to us. The exceptions are explicit: if you use the AI draft in the teaser creator, your website address is sent to generate the draft, and if you choose to leave your contact details, those reach us. Nothing else does.

We run AI-leveraged ourselves: in our own analysis, preparation, and the free tools and assistants on this site. AI does the heavy analytical lifting; judgment, relationships, and negotiation stay human.

The conversation is processed to generate answers and is not used to identify you. Do not share confidential financials or personal details in chat; for anything specific, use the Start a conversation form or email, which are confidential.
