What makes us different?

We saw a clear need in the market for an advisory firm that could provide its clients with quality corporate finance expertise based on real-life experience. Aalto Capital Partners have all founded and operated businesses of their own across a variety of sectors. This experience enables us to provide unique and long-term advice to our clients that goes deeper than purely advising on single transactions.

We work with founders, management teams, shareholders, investors, and companies of all sizes at each stage of their life cycle. We are a purpose-driven firm, focused on maximising value for our clients and other stakeholders, with a deeply entrenched set of values, a clear-cut business model and a powerful value proposition. We are known for our discretion and solution-driven approach.
