Who we work with
Corporate finance advisory for business owners, buyers and property developers.
We work with owner-managers, acquirers and property developers across the UK and overseas. One trusted contact, from the first conversation to completion.
Prestige & Co is a boutique corporate finance consultancy. We prepare businesses for sale, vet every opportunity and every party, and advise through to completion.
BUSINESS LEADERS
If you are planning to sell your company, or a controlling interest, we prepare the business for a buyer’s checks and advise you through to completion. Raising development capital? We prepare the business; the raise itself is handled by authorised partners.
INVESTORS
If you are a family office or private buyer seeking a controlling interest in an established business, tell us what you are looking for. We will be in touch when a checked opportunity fits.

A considered approach to buying and selling businesses.
Most opportunities are shared widely before anyone checks them. We work the other way. Off market, held for a private, trusted few, and vetted before anything leaves the room.
THE FACT FIND
Every engagement starts with an application, then a call and a fact find, as financial planners do. Your goals, your timescale, and where this sale or purchase sits in your wider plans. Only then do we look at the deal.
SELLERS VETTED
Accounts, ownership, contracts and key people, checked the way a buyer will check them. Where the owner’s story and the evidence differ, we find it first.
BUYERS VETTED
Proof of funds, and a clear picture of what they want to acquire. Businesses are only introduced to buyers who fit.
BROKERS AND INTRODUCERS VETTED
Who they are and who they act for, before they introduce anyone.
The application
Every engagement starts with an application.
APPLY
Tell us what you want to sell, buy or develop.
CALL
We arrange a short call to find out what you want and whether we can help.
FACT FIND
We send it to you after the call. It finds out what you want, why, and by when. You sign an NDA with Prestige & Co first.
ENGAGEMENT
We agree the terms in a signed letter.
INTRODUCTIONS
To the right buyer, seller, agent or solicitor. Nothing that identifies anyone is shared until the right NDA is signed. The transaction is completed with solicitors on each side.
Deals vetted. Sellers vetted. Brokers vetted, before anything leaves the room.

Prestige & Co incorporated in the UK. Solomon Prestige Group Ltd, Company No. 17189399. 71–75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9JQ.
"Solomon is a bit of an acquired taste — and I think he’d probably be fine with me saying that. When we first worked together, I wasn’t entirely sure what to make of him. He kept digging into things I thought were already settled, questioning things other people had passed over and generally refusing to just nod along. I realised he’d actually taken our project seriously enough to make our problems his problems. And because he approaches things quite differently to most people I’ve dealt with around capital, he found things that others simply hadn’t. There’s something very sincere and almost old-school about the way he works. Once I understood that, I understood Solomon a lot better too."
"Solomon knows his stuff inside out! He's been a fantastic advisor for my business, helping it grow and prosper. Working with him has been a real game-changer. I highly recommend him."
