For decades, three of the UK’s most respected corporate finance firms operated independently. KBS Corporate Finance built a data-driven engine for finding buyers — a proprietary database of thousands of companies and directors that systematically unlocks opportunities others miss. Knight Corporate Finance developed deep sector expertise and a relationship-led approach that made founders feel like partners, not transactions. Quantuma brought national reach, restructuring expertise and capital-raising capability across 28 UK offices.
Separately, each was formidable. Together, they could become something the UK market had never seen. K3 Group made the decision to unite the three practices under a single, unified identity — not as a merger of convenience, but as a deliberate reinvention. Key deal leaders from the K3 Advisory Group, Knight Corporate Finance and Quantuma Corporate Finance became K3 Deal Advisory.
The ambition was clear from day one: to give the UK’s most entrepreneurial businesses access to the depth of expertise, the breadth of reach and the quality of personal attention that only a fully integrated advisory could provide. Because the entrepreneurs we work with deserve nothing less.
