Corporate Advisory Services

At Bramelle Partners, our corporate advisory team works alongside business owners and directors to provide expert guidance through some of the most significant financial decisions they will face. Whether you are looking to raise capital, explore merger and acquisition opportunities, list on the ASX, or restructure your business for long-term sustainability, we provide strategic, hands-on support at every stage of the process.

Based in North Sydney, we work with start-ups, technology businesses, entrepreneurs, and established family groups across Australia. Our integrated approach combines deep accounting expertise with practical corporate advisory support across six core service areas, so you can make informed decisions that protect and grow your wealth.

What Are Corporate Advisory Services?

Corporate advisory services refer to specialist financial and strategic guidance provided to businesses undertaking significant transactions or structural changes. Unlike day-to-day accounting and compliance work, corporate advisory focuses on high-impact events that can define the future direction of a business.

At Bramelle Partners, our corporate advisory offering spans six core areas: capital raising, mergers and acquisitions support, ASX listings and reverse takeovers, financial and commercial due diligence, transaction structuring and advisory, and financial restructuring and turnaround. Each of these represents a pivotal moment in the life of a business, and having the right advisors in your corner can make the difference between a transaction that creates lasting value and one that exposes you to unnecessary risk.

Capital Raising

Securing the right funding at the right time is one of the most important decisions a business owner will make. Whether you are a start-up seeking seed funding or an established business looking to scale, Bramelle Partners can help you identify the most suitable capital structure and connect you with the right investors. Our team assesses your financial position, prepares investor-ready documentation, and supports you through every stage of the process, from developing your investment case through to negotiating terms and managing post-investment obligations.

Funding can take many forms depending on the stage and nature of your business, including angel investment, equity crowdfunding, venture capital, private equity, government grants, and debt financing. We work closely with our network of finance brokers, lawyers, and financial planners to ensure every aspect of your capital raise is handled with expertise and care, so you can focus on running and growing your business with confidence.

Mergers and Acquisitions Support

Mergers and acquisitions represent some of the most transformative and complex transactions a business can undertake. Done well, M&A activity can unlock significant shareholder value, accelerate growth, and strengthen your competitive position. At Bramelle Partners, we provide practical, hands-on support across the full transaction lifecycle, from initial due diligence and valuation through to deal structuring, negotiation, and post-completion integration planning.

Over many years of advising clients, we have seen M&A activity deliver considerable value when it is underpinned by a clear strategic rationale and thorough preparation. Whether you are looking to acquire a competitor, merge with a complementary business, or position your company for sale, our integrated team brings together accounting, tax, and advisory expertise to help you approach the transaction with clarity and confidence.

ASX Listings & Reverse Takeovers

Listing on the ASX or pursuing a reverse takeover can be a significant milestone for a growing business, opening access to public capital markets and increasing your company’s profile with investors. However, the process is complex, involving detailed regulatory requirements, prospectus preparation, and ongoing compliance obligations that demand careful planning and expert guidance. At Bramelle Partners, we work with business owners and directors to navigate these requirements from the earliest stages of preparation through to completion.

Whether you are pursuing an initial public offering or exploring a reverse takeover as a faster pathway to listing, our team provides practical support across financial reporting, due diligence, transaction structuring, and coordination with legal and capital markets specialists. Our goal is to ensure you are fully prepared for the demands of operating as a listed entity, with the systems, reporting frameworks, and advisory relationships in place to support your obligations from day one.

Financial Due Diligence

When acquiring a business or entering a significant transaction, understanding the financial position of what you are taking on is central to making an informed decision. Financial due diligence involves a thorough review of the target business’s historical financial performance, quality of earnings, working capital requirements, debt and liabilities, cash flow dynamics, and any financial risks or contingencies that may affect the value or viability of the transaction, giving you a complete picture of what you are actually buying. At Bramelle Partners, we lead this process directly, applying deep analytical rigour to every engagement.

Having our financial due diligence work managed in coordination with commercial and other advisory workstreams means nothing falls through the cracks, and you receive a consolidated view of the transaction before committing. Our role is to ensure the right questions are asked at the right time, that findings are properly integrated into your decision-making, and that any risks identified are factored into deal structuring and negotiations. Whether you are acquiring a small business or a larger established entity, we make sure the financial groundwork is as thorough as everything else.

Transaction Structuring & Advisory

How a transaction is structured can be just as important as the deal itself. The right structure can optimise tax outcomes, protect your assets, allocate risk appropriately between parties, and set the foundation for a smooth transition after completion. At Bramelle Partners, we provide practical transaction structuring advice to business owners and directors at every stage of the deal process, ensuring the structure you adopt is aligned with your commercial objectives and long-term financial goals.

Whether you are acquiring a business, selling out of an existing structure, or reorganising your holdings ahead of a transaction, our team draws on deep accounting and tax expertise to identify the most appropriate approach for your circumstances. We work closely with our network of lawyers, financial planners, and corporate specialists to ensure every element of the transaction is coordinated effectively, so nothing is left to chance when it matters most.

Financial Restructuring & Turnaround

Financial difficulty can arise for any number of reasons: market shifts, rapid growth, cash flow pressures, or structural inefficiencies that have built up over time. Whatever the cause, acting early and decisively is critical. At Bramelle Partners, we work alongside business owners and directors to assess their financial position honestly, identify the root causes of underperformance, and develop a clear plan to stabilise the business and restore it to a sustainable footing.

Our restructuring and turnaround support covers cash flow management, debt negotiation, cost reduction strategies, and operational restructuring to improve profitability and reduce risk. Where appropriate, we can also assist with recapitalisation or refinancing as part of a broader recovery strategy. Our approach is practical and commercially focused; we are here to help you make clear-headed decisions under pressure, protect what you have built, and put your business in the strongest possible position going forward.

Frequently asked questions

What are corporate advisory services?

Corporate advisory services provide specialist financial and strategic guidance to businesses undertaking significant transactions or structural changes such as raising capital, buying or selling a business, listing on the ASX, or restructuring for long-term sustainability. Unlike day-to-day accounting, corporate advisory focuses on high-impact events that can define the future direction of a business.

What types of businesses does Bramelle Partners work with?

Bramelle Partners works with start-ups, technology businesses, entrepreneurs, and established family groups across Australia. Based in North Sydney, our team supports businesses at every stage from early-stage capital raises through to complex M&A transactions and ASX listings.

How is corporate advisory different from accounting?

Accounting focuses on compliance, financial reporting, and tax obligations, the ongoing work of running a business. Corporate advisory focuses on strategic, transaction-driven events: raising capital, buying or selling a business, restructuring ownership, or preparing for a public listing. At Bramelle Partners, our integrated approach means both disciplines work together, so your advisory decisions are always grounded in sound financial and tax analysis.

What does the M&A process typically involve?

A mergers and acquisitions transaction typically involves target identification and assessment, financial and legal due diligence, business valuation, deal structuring, negotiation, and post-completion integration. The process can take several months and requires careful coordination across accounting, tax, legal, and commercial workstreams. Our M&A support service covers the full lifecycle.

What is the difference between an IPO and a reverse takeover?

An IPO (initial public offering) involves a company listing on the ASX through a full prospectus process, typically taking 12–18 months. A reverse takeover (RTO) is an alternative pathway where a private company merges with an existing ASX-listed shell company, often completing in 6–12 months at a lower cost. The right pathway depends on your company’s size, stage, and capital requirements. See our ASX listings and reverse takeovers page for more detail.

When should a business consider financial restructuring?

Financial restructuring should be considered as early as possible when a business is experiencing cash flow pressure, declining profitability, difficulty servicing debt, or structural inefficiencies that are limiting growth. Acting early preserves more options including debt negotiation, operational restructuring, and recapitalisation. Our financial restructuring and turnaround team works with business owners to stabilise the business and develop a clear recovery plan.

How do I know which type of funding is right for my business?

The right funding depends on your stage of growth, how much equity you are willing to give up, your risk appetite, and your long-term plans. Early-stage businesses often suit angel investment or venture capital, while established businesses may access private equity or debt financing. Government grants offer non-dilutive funding for eligible activities. Our capital raising team can assess your position and recommend the most appropriate structure for your circumstances.
