Inorganic growth can often be the fastest way to scale, but finding attainable acquisition targets takes time. We identify, screen and contact companies globally, enabling clients to explore more deal opportunities.
Ascent was established in 2015 to provide M&A deal origination services for acquirers, private equity firms and advisors. All of our team have worked in corporate finance and completed SME and mid-market M&A projects across the UK, Europe, North America and Australia.
In May 2024, Ascent was acquired by Langcliffe International, Europe’s leading deal origination firm.
What Our Clients Say
“We engaged Ascent to help us find M&A deals to expedite the process of building a specialist healthcare group. Ascent swiftly and comprehensively mapped out acquisition targets. They demonstrated a high level of involvement with the shortlist of targets, provided valuable insights to aid our decision making process and ultimately led to a healthy M&A pipeline, all within a couple of months of collaboration.”
“Ascent was quick to understand the M&A strategy for Davies Group and worked hard to identify a number of potential acquisitions for Davies in new areas and markets. The Ascent team were strategic in their thinking and we successfully closed a transaction with Ascent relatively quickly after commencing our engagement. Ascent were professional and understood how to unlock off market opportunities for us. I’d recommend Ascent to businesses that are looking to grow through acquisition!”
Matthew Button, CEO, Davies Group (Private Equity backed)
“Ascent has been a critical resource to our deal-making. Their market-mapping and deal-support is first-rate, and their partnership approach is fundamental to the continued success of the relationship. Ascent goes the extra mile to get a deal done and I'd highly recommend their services across the M&A spectrum.”
Amos Simantov, CEO, Way 2 VAT (Public company)
