Creating opportunities that set business owners free.

Boutique Corporate Advisory and M&A,
that’s changing people’s lives.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you are looking to acquire a business. Maybe you want to scale your existing one to new heights. Maybe the time has come, and you’d like to sell.

Whatever your journey ahead is, it’s an exciting one.
You just need the right support to guide you.

You’ve built something great, now let’s make it legendary.

You've built a business and making bold moves, but when it comes to maximising its value, are you confident you're doing everything right?

At Morgan Shaw Advisory, we help ambitious business leaders and owners create strategic growth, optimise value, and prepare for a profitable future, whether that means scaling, succession, or a high-value exit.

Because the best exit strategy isn’t just an exit… it’s a mic drop.

Whether it's expanding your business, or preparing for a profitable exit, Morgan Shaw Advisory will help you do both.

Yes, really.

Morgan Shaw Advisory (MSA) is a Boutique M&A Corporate Advisory Firm, that uniquely offers business owners an all-encompassing EBITDA+ Six Steps to Success™ program, M&A Transaction services, our full Strategic Advisory Services and our array of Coaching and Mentoring Programs. We offer these specific services to help business owners not only maximise the value of their business, but maximise every opportunity to sell their business leaving nothing on the table.

MSA wants to see business owners significantly improve the value of their business way before a transaction. This is what we refer to as Game Ready. And when it finally does come to a transaction, whether that be a capital raise, an acquisition, an IPO, or an exit/sale of the business, MSA will manage the entire process from beginning to end.

EBITDA+ Six Steps to Success™
with 3 service offerings.

  • We help set the values and vision that lay the foundation for strategic short and long-term planning. We specialise in crafting business roadmaps that align with your organisational goals, guiding you toward success. Our approach includes accountable 90-day team deliverable management plans, ensuring a focused and results-driven execution. We provide crucial process and structure support to streamline operations, coupled with leadership team building and personalized 121 mentoring for sustained growth.

    We’ll facilitate workshops, elevate your strategic thinking, assess your marketing, sales, operations, and people & culture and provide personal ongoing support to fortify these pillars of your business.

    Most importantly, we help business owners establish strong succession plans that enable them to move on to their next adventure, whatever that may be.

  • Circumstances change and most business owners will at some point consider exiting their business, whether as a straightforward sale, an IPO, or a merger.

    Our mission is to improve the value of your business through the transaction process and increase the chances of a successful sale.

    It is important to safeguarding your legacy, and we will guide you through this intricate journey to find the right buyer for your business.

    Most of the heavy lifting will be done by us, and we will ensure a seamless process and minimise the effort and distraction caused for shareholders and management. Our goal is to simplify the process and minimise the stress and pressure at sale time.

    Over the years, our team has been involved in numerous transactions and in many cases sat on the buyer’s side of the table. We know what a potential buyer will look for when screening your business, every step of the way.

  • In the dynamic landscape of business, where challenges are inevitable, seeking extra support is crucial. MSA recognises the significance of additional support, not only for business owners but also for their teams.

    Our commitment is to offer a unique blend of expertise and encouragement tailored to bridge knowledge gaps within your business, and there are multiple programs to choose from:

    1. CEO and C-Suite
    Peer-to-peer coaching and mentoring (VISTAGE)

    2. 121 coaching and mentoring for Exec Team/Leadership team individual, one-on-one.

    3. 1-to-many coaching and mentoring (Senior Leadership Teams as a group)

  • EBITDA+ Six Steps to Success™ is the combination of Strategic Advisory, M&A Transaction and Coaching & Mentoring combined. It is the proven approach MSA has developed to significantly improve the performance of a business, make it less dependent on the owner, and get it ‘Game Ready’ to take full advantage of opportunities that may arise.

    Our transparent methodology and comprehensive guide will be essential to overcome the complexity of realising and releasing business asset value.

    EBITDA+ Six Steps to Success™ is our formula to maximise the value of your business.

We asked our clients, “What would you like others to know about your experience with Morgan Shaw Advisory”.

This was their response.

What’s your journey?

JOURNEY 1

”I have the energy, the drive, and the ambition to take my business further. I know there’s more value to unlock, and I’m willing to do the work to make it happen. I want to make smart, strategic moves that strengthen my position and set me up for the best possible future, whether that means scaling, selling, or something else entirely.”

OR

JOURNEY 2

“I’m ready for a change. I’d like to acquire and build, or it’s time to move my business on. Whether it’s retirement, a new venture, or simply having more freedom, I want a clear path to exit. I need the right strategy to secure my financial future, take care of my people, and ensure my business carries on the right way, without unnecessary stress or delays.”

Maybe it’s even a bit of both.

Knowing your valuation gives you clarity, confidence, and control over your next move. Whether you're planning to grow, sell, or strengthen your position, MSA makes it simple to get the insights you need, fast.
