Craig Goold

I lead our M&A team in Scotland, advising business owners, founders and management teams on the corporate finance options available to them. People come to me when they're planning for growth, considering investment or preparing for a sale. I focus on building long-term relationships and helping you make confident decisions at every stage of your journey.

I work with entrepreneurs across a wide range of sectors, with particular experience in Software and Technology Services. By combining local market knowledge with specialist sector insight, I help businesses navigate opportunities and challenges as they scale. I also work closely with colleagues across our service lines to deliver joined-up advice tailored to your goals.

I guide shareholders through the full transaction lifecycle, from preparing a business for market through to completion. That includes shaping the equity story, identifying the right buyers or investors and managing competitive sale processes. Whether you're exploring strategic options or pursuing a transaction, I focus on maintaining momentum and helping you achieve the best possible outcome. For many owners, this is a defining moment in their business journey, and I never lose sight of the trust placed in me throughout the process.

Ask me about M&A, corporate finance, business sales, equity story development, software and technology services and growth strategy.
