Mergers & Acquisitions

Via our extensive network of contacts in both industry and in the investment community, combined with our deep sector knowledge, we can help you to sell your business and maximise value for your shareholders.

Our journey

The business is led by Steve Lazarus (ex Warner Music, ITV, Sony Pictures, Yahoo, Myspace and Dow Jones) and supported by a team of experienced Associates. We are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

We pride ourselves on providing a unique, premium service using our extensive industry experience, which is coupled with a deep network of senior tech, media and retail executives.

We are experts in sourcing and striking “media for equity” deals for fast growth early stage businesses, where media owners exchange advertising inventory for shares in a company.

Lazarus Consulting has global reach via its relationship with CDI Global. CDI Global is a global network of advisory firms, consisting of more than 40 offices in over 30 countries focusing on mid-market cross-border transactions. CDI Global M&A specialists have successfully closed thousands of transactions since 1973.
