Advisory
Not just a studio. A growth partner.
Twenty-five years of building, buying and selling businesses sit behind every KBI engagement. Kate advises founders on growth strategy, leads sell-side M&A processes for owner-led companies, and partners with strategic and PE acquirers on targeted buy-side campaigns.
The same operator instinct that built the platforms runs every advisory mandate — practical, confidential, and built around the founder, not the deck.
Growth strategy
Operator-led strategy for founders scaling from £1m to £25m. Pricing, positioning, channel architecture and the unsexy operational work that compounds.
M&A and exits
Sell-side advisory for owner-led businesses. Sale-readiness, buyer mapping, anonymised teasers, NDA flow, IM and management call coordination — through to indicative offers.
Acquisition strategy
Buy-side support for strategic and PE acquirers. Thesis development, target sourcing, approach campaigns and diligence orchestration.
Platform consulting
For technology businesses building category-defining products: roadmap, go-to-market and the AI stack underneath.
