What to know about Fenchurch Advisory
Fenchurch Advisory has built its franchise in FIG, Insurance, where founders running a sale process often turn to firms with deep sector pattern recognition. The senior bench, anchored by Malik Karim, sets the tone for how engagements run from the first call through whatever outcome the process produces. Founders evaluating Fenchurch Advisory typically compare it against other industry specialist houses with similar sector emphasis.
Deal sweet spot at Fenchurch Advisory sits in the $50M-$2B band. That target range shapes everything: which buyers get the call, how the process is paced, and how the firm allocates senior banker attention. Founders working with Fenchurch Advisory should expect a process tuned to that band; founders far below or above it sometimes find a better fit elsewhere.
Geography matters more than founders expect. Fenchurch Advisory operates out of London, UK, and its strongest buyer-side relationships tend to cluster around that orbit. For sellers running a global process, that can be either an advantage (concentrated relationships) or a constraint (thinner reach in other regions). Founders should ask directly: which buyers have you placed with in the last 24 months, and where are they.
