Andrew Coates Director
Since our Managing Director Andrew Coates established Strategic Corporate Finance in June 2000, we have completed almost 80 transactions.
Highly respected among clients and the business community, Andrew’s accolades include receiving a South Yorkshire “Dealmaker of the Year” award from the esteemed Yorkshire Business Insider.
With over 20 years experience of carrying out company disposals, corporate acquisitions and management buyouts, Andrew champions the firm’s “hands on” director led service and is proud of Strategic Corporate Finance’s powerful reputation for delivering excellent results in finding buyers for companies.
He says: “As a boutique dealmaker we negotiate focused and clear commercial terms which avoid the potential for misunderstanding – project managing these transactions through to legal completion.
Because we only work on a handful of transactions at any time, our clients are guaranteed a high level of service. Our track record speaks for itself: we have sold virtually every business we have ever taken on as a client.”
In the knowledge and understanding that the majority of clients sell their business only once in their lifetimes, Andrew and the team recognise how the outcome of a company sale impacts on their clients, family and staff.
He adds: “Our proven high quality professional service – which supports you throughout the journey – includes conducting detailed, comprehensive and methodical research into potential buyers. Our proven and expert approach to support our clients throughout the process ensures they achieve the best available deal.”

Greg Barker Director
Greg qualified as a Chartered Certified Accountant with Deloitte in Nottingham before joining Strategic Corporate Finance in 2006. Since then he has advised on numerous company disposals and developed a wealth of knowledge and experience.
The key to successfully advising clients on disposals, according to Greg, is not only expertise of the sale process but also “going the extra mile” to ensure the deal is completed.
He says: “Selling a company is rarely straightforward. There are always challenges to overcome which means you need an adviser who is on hand to provide a personal service. At Strategic, we provide a professional, director-led service to all clients and pride ourselves on the results we achieve”.
Greg adds that the current economic climate shouldn’t be a barrier to those wishing to sell: “There is no shortage of buyers for quality companies, as cash rich UK and international corporates seek out growth avenues in an otherwise difficult environment. The current tax regime for vendors is also unprecedented.”
Greg is also experienced in dealing with management buy-outs, acquisitions, valuations and fundraising – enabling him to consider the wider perspective in giving advice.
