Fusio Global Advisors Launches to Connect Founders with Cross-Border M&A

New cross-border alliance brings together five independent M&A advisory firms from Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom, giving founders, acquirers and investors a single point of access to a trusted network with global reach and local presence.

Fusio Global Advisors has announced the launch of its alliance, uniting five independent, founder-led M&A advisory firms - one each in Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom - under a shared platform built to serve the owners of $5–100m businesses seeking cross-border sale, acquisition or growth support.

The five founding member firms bring together 150+ years of combined M&A experience, around 50 specialists and a track record of over 500 completed exits, with cross-border transactions accounting for around 30% of deal volume to date and combined deal value exceeding $1bn.

Why the alliance

Lower mid-market founders increasingly compete, sell and raise capital on an international stage, but many have historically had to choose between an advisor who knows their local market or one with genuine international reach - rarely both.

Fusio was formed to close that gap: each member firm keeps its deep, on-the-ground knowledge of its own market - language, regulatory environment, local buyer and investor relationships - while clients gain a single coordinated point of contact into all major M&A markets and the wider business communities beyond them.

Benefits for founders

• A trusted local advisor from the first conversation, backed by partners who can open doors with acquirers and investors well beyond their home market
• Wider, better-qualified buyer pools for a sale process, without having to run parallel relationships with multiple unconnected advisory firms
• Continuity of advice through exit planning, sale and any subsequent cross-border integration

Benefits for acquirers

• A single relationship that surfaces qualified, founder-led acquisition targets across five European markets
• Local diligence and negotiation support delivered by advisors who understand the seller's market, language and regulatory context
• Faster, more reliable cross-border deal execution through partners who already work together

Benefits for investors

• Earlier visibility of proprietary, off-market opportunities sourced across the alliance's combined regional footprint
• A consistent standard of deal preparation and diligence across markets, backed by each member firm's individual track record
• A single coordinated channel into multiple national markets rather than five separate points of contact

Spokesperson quote

"Founders don't build cross-border businesses by accident - they need advisors who understand both the deal and the culture on the other side of it. Fusio Global Advisors gives our clients exactly that: a single point of contact, backed by partners who know their local market inside out, wherever in the world the right buyer, seller or investor happens to be."
