Who is Prism Corporate Broking?

Established in 2003, Prism Corporate Broking is an award-winning corporate finance and business broker boutique that specialises in Buying and Selling Technology Businesses. We advise clients on every aspect of mergers and acquisitions from essential pre-sale advice or acquisition preparation through to successful deal completion.

Why choose Prism?

We are technology sector M&A advisors, predominantly working with UK clients but often seeking overseas buyers. Our knowledge of the tech market and our extensive contacts ensures we can identify and engage with targets looking to acquire or sell. Our dedicated and specialist advisor team tailors each assignment to suit your individual businesses and more importantly, your personal objectives. All assignments are Director-led (not delegated) and our highly contingent fee model incentivises success.

Our approach is refreshingly different and very successful.

Typically, for business sales, we work on transactions involving technology businesses within a £1m to £30m turnover range (though the vendor or acquirer can be substantially larger than this).

Working with us

In order to achieve greatest impact please contact us at an early stage. This will allow us the maximum opportunity to advise you on sale or acquisition options, readiness and ensure your business is in the best shape to achieve your strategic goals.

Our aim is to help you make the right decisions at the right time. There are no surprises with Prism, when you meet us you will hopefully realise that our approach is highly personal. With aligned goals we work towards achieving them, keeping you up-to-date on progress every step of the way.

It is our personal approach combined with years of experience that makes Prism so appreciated by our clients.

Strong business ethics

We are not volume players; this enables us to deliver a highly personalised service, uniquely tailored towards individual needs and objectives.

Our business ethic is strong, trusted, honest and open — we tell you what you need to know, not what you might want to hear.
