About us
Origins
Founded by Mike Ganon in 2000, NextLevel Corporate Advisory emerged from the need for a revolutionary approach to corporate finance as the tech bubble burst and traditional investment banking fell short.
Mike, a pioneer in independent corporate finance, envisioned a firm offering highly customised corporate development solutions. Solutions designed to enable companies to create, grow and realise value—completely free from external influences and conflicted agendas.
Today, NextLevel Corporate Advisory remains a unique force in delivering conflict-free, independent advice across industries and borders as well as expert corporate development design, transactional execution, direct access to international markets and investor-readiness superpowers.
Why here, why now
In a landscape where many firms offer one-size-fits-all solutions, the full spectrum of strategies and solutions can remain hidden. We believe you deserve more—and we offer a probity-rich and protective environment where every possibility can be explored.
Much like a chrysalis nurturing a butterfly’s transformation, we provide the financial and strategic expertise, industry intel, and expert execution needed to guide your business through its transformative journey—while shielding you from your natural predators.
Our approach
Corporate development is our core competency. It’s not a side hustle.
Unlike firms that dabble in corporate development and corporate advice as ‘ad on’ service—we are laser focused and fully committed to advancing your corporate development goals. We take the time to thoroughly grasp your purpose, vision, and aspirations, and craft bespoke solutions tailored precisely to your needs—whether it’s advice, strategy design, origination, or execution.
If you’re looking for dedicated, insightful, unvarnished financial advice that can accelerate each transformative level of your unique corporate development journey—no matter your stage of development or industry—you’ve come to the right place.
What we offer
From ideating, designing, buying or selling, merging, responding to takeovers and approaches, arranging schemes of arrangement, crafting joint ventures, issuing new shares, selling down existing shares, to buybacks and more—we provide comprehensive corporate development solutions.
Whether you need independent advice and probity services, proactive buy-side and corporate development strategies, or reactive approaches to immediate transactions—NextLevel Corporate Advisory has your back and is here to support you.
