Broader Thinking, Higher Values
Our founder, Jim Keeling, established Corbett Keeling 30 years ago to spearhead integrity in corporate finance. He wanted to guide clients in the same way his father and grandfather had — with honesty and a sense of responsibility. Jim’s wife, Emma, who also has a background in corporate finance, joined as COO in 2015.
We are an independent, London-based corporate finance firm, specialising in selling privately-owned UK companies valued between £10-150 million. We offer a tailored, personal service, guiding our clients through successful transactions every step of the way. We are not a business broker. As a family-owned business, free from constraints and conflicting interests, we take a long-term view.
Our broader-thinking approach is underpinned by the high values of our founder, who is a stickler for telling the truth. We’re proud to achieve an average 40% uplift in sale value for our clients compared to their initial expectations, along with a 90% deal completion rate.
Our 3 Cs Approach
Our aim is that every transaction we advise on results in the optimal mix of what we call the Corbett Keeling "3 Cs." After carefully listening to our clients' objectives, our approach ensures they achieve the best possible combination of:
Cash received
Certainty of deal completion
Chemistry with buyers/investors
