Towards freedom
We advise founders, owners and boards through the merger, acquisition, sale and structuring of their businesses and support the leaders behind those transactions to navigate them with clarity and composure. Our work spans deal advisory and the human side of change.
Our three areas of advisory
1
Guiding founders, owners and boards through acquisitions, sales and transaction structuring, from early positioning through to close and beyond.

Supporting founders, C-suite executives and their boards to overcome the inevitable hurdles when scaling a business. From raising capital to board composition to conflict management to the implementation of AI.

Needing more clarity, energy and perspective? Our coaching services, Altered Performance and Altered Outperformance, both build the personal capacity to sustain high-stakes leadership over the long term. The latter incorporates the latest biomarker testing for greater precision.
How we help
Altered works with founders, owners, boards and their leadership teams at the moments that matter most, from a transaction to a transition to sustained performance under pressure. Whatever the starting point, our approach combines commercial rigour with genuine human understanding.
The problem we solve
Change exposes what strength alone cannot fix
Acquisitions, sales and leadership transitions place extraordinary pressure on the people at the centre of them. Technical advice is rarely the missing piece. What is often missing is clarity, composure and support for the human decisions that sit alongside the commercial ones. Founder to founder, we guide you from start to finish and beyond.
Altered exists to close that gap.
"Altered helped us navigate one of the most demanding periods our business has faced, both commercially and personally. Their guidance gave our leadership team the clarity and composure to make better decisions under pressure. Most importantly, we were able to conclude an excellent deal with the buyer."

Step 1, Initial conversation:
We listen first to understand the situation and the people involved and to identify the outcome needed from the transaction, personally and professionally.
Step 2, Tailored engagement:
We shape a scope of work across M&A Advisory, Leadership Advisory and Executive Performance, as required.
Step 3, Active support:
We work alongside founders, owners and leadership teams through the transaction or transition itself.
Step 4, Sustained capacity:
Where relevant, Altered Performance and Altered Outperformance programmes build the personal resilience to sustain results long after the deal or transition is complete.
