# Corbett Keeling Ltd
Corbett Keeling is an independent London-based corporate finance advisory firm specialising in the sale of privately-owned UK companies valued between £10–150 million. Founded 30 years ago by Jim Keeling, the firm has built its reputation on integrity and transparent guidance through complex business transactions.
The firm primarily serves owner-managers and private company proprietors seeking to realise the value of their businesses. Whether clients are selling their company, raising capital, or pursuing acquisitions, Corbett Keeling provides bespoke, hands-on support throughout every stage of the process.
What distinguishes Corbett Keeling is their founder-led philosophy centred on honesty and long-term client relationships. As a family-owned business—with Jim's wife Emma serving as COO—they operate free from the conflicting interests that plague larger corporate finance houses. This independence allows them to prioritise client outcomes over transaction volume.
Their track record speaks plainly: a 90% deal completion rate and an average 40% uplift in sale value compared to clients' initial expectations. Rather than employing aggressive tactics or complex financial engineering, they guide clients with the same responsibility their founder's father and grandfather demonstrated in earlier generations.
The Matterhorn metaphor underpinning their branding—referencing the founders' mountaineering experience—encapsulates their philosophy: navigating inherently complex terrain requires expert guidance, meticulous planning, and absolute trustworthiness.
