# Watersheds

Watersheds is a corporate finance advisory firm based in Gatwick, with additional offices in Northampton and Swindon. They specialise in guiding business owners and entrepreneurs through significant financial transactions and strategic changes.

The firm serves mid-market business owners seeking to acquire other companies, raise capital for expansion, sell their businesses confidentially, or pursue management buyouts and buyins. Their client base includes established business leaders, entrepreneurs, and management teams across various sectors including design, print, healthcare and consulting.

What distinguishes Watersheds is their contingent fee model—they only charge fees upon successful completion of a transaction. This aligns their interests directly with their clients' outcomes, creating incentive for them to be proactive, creative and persistent. Rather than pursuing mass-market sales processes, they handle business disposals discreetly, protecting client confidentiality throughout negotiations.

The team comprises exclusively qualified corporate finance professionals with substantial backgrounds in business management, banking, or venture capital. This specialist expertise allows them to navigate complex transactions with attention to detail and genuine commitment to client success. Testimonials consistently highlight their professional approach, support throughout lengthy processes, and ability to deliver results. Their track record includes successfully arranging acquisitions, fundraising rounds, and business sales for established companies across multiple sectors.
