ONSConsulting

We Are Expert
Corporate Finance
Advisors

ONS was formed in 2012 as a boutique strategy and corporate finance consulting firm providing services like transaction support, mergers and acquisition support and financial modeling. Incorporated by expert finance professionals who previously worked at big corps. ONS’s aim was to deliver projects of the highest quality and intellect keeping in mind our client’s objectives.

What’s unique about us is our ability to envision each project as our own and deliver accordingly. We believe content is king. And thus, we make sure all our deliverables are written in the most compelling manner whether it is a sales presentation or an IB pitchbook.

In 2015, we expanded our offerings to help budding and innovative entrepreneurs build and pivot their startup ventures. We do this by providing assistance with their business plan and strategy, building a feasible business model, conducting in-depth research of the target market, and finding the right investment for their company. To date, we have worked with more than 400 startups and helped many of them raise $580mn in investment so far. These include companies from various different industries including financial services, healthcare, technology, real estate, fashion, aviation, music, F&B, energy, and many more.

Our Services

We understand how time consuming and utterly daunting some tasks can be. Like an analyst trying to prepare a winning pitchbook with tight deadlines and 100 other things to do, a CEO of a one-man company struggling to write a comprehensive business plan while simultaneously running a business or a company looking to get expert opinion on their business’s valuation. And that’s where we come in.

As M&A experts we help our clients build pre and post-merger valuation models, conduct financial due diligence and help identify potential acquisition targets. Some of us in the team have been entrepreneurs ourselves having had successful exits and can leverage our experience in order to help startups build pitch decks that leave a lasting impact on their investors.

Our Story

ONS is more like a family and its story began, like most successful ones, at a coffee shop in London when four friends, all in the finance industry, came up with the idea of ‘being their own bosses’ and doing something creative other than their 9 to 6pm banking/consulting jobs. They played to their strengths and began with completing one-time projects (presentations, pitchbooks, modelling, valuations etc.) for clients they met at various local networking events in the UK.
2012
What initially started off as a part-time hobby, became a full-time venture in just under two years when the team expanded their reach to businesses around the globe, doubled in size and began offering startup services starting with business plans and investor pitch decks.
2015
In just 5 years the team size reached from four to thirteen with a portfolio of over 500 clients and more than 1000 projects completed worldwide. The year 2018 also saw the beginning of a second office in the USA that was formed to cater to the exponentially growing client base in the States. We estimate to reach a total team size of 25 by end of 2021 with at least two new offices one of which will be in Asia.
