Founded in 1984 and under consistent ownership and management since that date, Oasis Europe is a corporate finance boutique specialising in acting for owner managed businesses in situations where their shares are planned to change hands. This involves us in advising on flotations, management buyin and buyout situations, private equity transactions and trade sales.
Most of our transactions are valued between £2 million and £50 million with about one third of these being with overseas buyers. The breadth of experience within the firm enables us to carry out transactions in most industrial and commercial sectors although we do not normally operate in the property, biotechnology, software start-ups and gaming areas.
Our Dealmakers are supported by a sophisticated transaction management system developed by Oasis Europe that enables information accumulated over many years to be seamlessly updated and accessed from any of our three office locations or remotely.
How are we different to other corporate finance houses?
We have a unique selling process designed to suit the sale of shares in privately owned businesses
We, as do our clients, value
- industrial and commercial experience more highly than professional qualifications – although many of us have MBA’s from the leading UK and European business schools
- senior line management experience rather than staff function and advisory backgrounds – although the ‘odd’ Chartered Accountant has slipped through the net!
- entrepreneurial activity in careers to date – building and selling your own business is great practice before requiring to be trusted with someone elses most financially valuable possession in this life
- bright minds and nothing short of superb social skills – so that clients, acquirers and our staff enjoy working together
How do we recruit?
We have never used headhunters or recruitment agencies
We never approach competitors
We never advertise - all our people find us by using their own initiative!
