About Us

Cleveland Street Associates is an independent corporate finance advisory firm based in London. We focus on sourcing and introducing privately held businesses to private equity firms, investment funds, and strategic acquirers.

We work closely with founders, shareholders, and trusted intermediaries to originate opportunities that are often proprietary and not broadly marketed. Our work is centred on UK lower and mid-market transactions, partnering selectively with investors seeking high-quality deal flow and thoughtful execution.

Our approach is relationship-led, discreet, and aligned with long-term investor and shareholder objectives. We prioritise clarity, judgement, and trust throughout the transaction process.
