The world of mergers and acquisitions just got stronger, smarter, and more connected. Today marks the launch of 7oceans - a refreshingly new forward thinking international alliance bringing together highly trusted and respected M&A advisory firms across borders to create a growing international network for entrepreneurs, investors, business owners and senior managers
The founding members include Provantage (UK),Taurus Advisory (Germany), Adviso Partners (France),Stepstone Corporate Finance+ (Netherlands), Nash Advisory (Italy), Ramus & Company (Switzerland), and CKS Finance (Ireland). Together, these firms have completed hundreds of successful transactions worth billions in deal value and draw on extensive cross-border experience - while trusted in their local market they are now joining forces to deliver the best possible outcome and experience for their clients
By combining deep local expertise with international reach, 7oceans enables its clients to access unrivalled cross-border opportunities, bridge cultural and business differences seamlessly and benefit from shared knowledge, shared resources, and shared results...all underpinned by a common culture, shared values, a relationship driven approach and purpose built technology
Clients benefit from one unified alliance that bridges cultural, linguistic, and market barriers across borders ready to navigate any deal, anywhere in the world with global insight and local impact
The alliance is already expanding, seeking ambitious firms across North America, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa to join the team. With every new member, the global reach of 7oceans grows stronger, ensuring clients can connect to opportunities wherever they are in the world
What makes 7oceans different? Culture, values and relationships Unlike large, impersonal networks, 7oceans is built on close knit working relationships. Members host weekly deal calls, have shared databases and are launching talent exchanges, joint pitches, and bi-annual global conferences. The result? Faster, smarter, and more seamless cross-border transactions
