Advisory Services

We are active in buyside and sellside advisory with extensive private and public market expertise. Our team have led some of the largest private capital transactions in the region.

  • Buyside advisory
  • Bolt on M&A advisory
  • Sell-side advisory
  • Debt advisory
  • Private capital raising
  • Governance
  • Risk management

We were referred to Privatus by an existing investor as we are a young, fast growing company needing an adviser who could fully understand our business model, our industry and capital raising options. They invested time in understanding carbon markets and provided clear and direct strategic advice on our business plan and what steps we needed to take to be investor ready.

I value their high quality judgments which are based on experience and analysis. They also have the execution capacity to get stuff done and work side by side with us.

They identified the right lead investor in ROC Partners and managed the process front to back. Privatus are invested in our business, they are fully aligned with us and act as my sounding board on key issues.

Eddie Listorti (CEO and Founder of Viridios)

We retained Privatus when we were looking for private capital to help us take the business to the next level. As a founder led high growth technology company, we had clear requirements: we wanted an active investor but one we could work with and who understood our business and growth ambition.

Privatus prepared us for our capital raising and identified Five V as the right capital partner. The Privatus team are experienced, know the market and provided sound advice to guide us through the process.

Privatus invested alongside Five V and continue to work collaboratively with us across multiple topics from M&A strategy to risk and governance. We have strong relationships at multiple levels and they are a true partner for us as we continue to grow.
