About G&G

Built for private business.

G&G is an independent M&A advisory firm working with founders, shareholders and acquirers of established Australian privately owned businesses across the small and mid-market.

We founded G&G because owners deserve experienced M&A advice, senior attention and a genuinely personal approach.

Founders’ philosophy

We care about this market and the people behind it.

Founder-led and privately owned businesses are different. They are often the product of years of hard work, personal commitment and relationships built over time.

Yet owners in the small and mid-market do not always receive the experience, attention and quality of advice that a significant transaction deserves.

We founded G&G to change that, bringing experienced, senior-led M&A advice to a market and business owners we genuinely care about.
