K3 Advisory Group remains the UK’s leading M&A adviser after the first nine months of 2026, with K3 Advantage contributing to the Group’s performance.
The latest London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) Global M&A Small-Cap Financial Advisory rankings place K3:
- No.1 in the UK
- No.2 in Europe
- No.3 globally
K3 completed 236 qualifying transactions during the period, compared with 54 for its nearest UK competitor. That means K3 completed more than four times as many.
The Group has finished No.1 in the UK every year since 2017 and is now on course for a tenth consecutive annual No.1 finish.
Turning transaction experience into insight
K3 Advantage is part of K3 Advisory Group’s business sales division, and our deals contribute to the Group’s position in the rankings.
For clients, though, the value is not simply in the number of deals completed. Working across deals gives our team a first-hand view of the factors that can shape a transaction, from financial performance and risk to valuation, structure and the quality of information available to decision-makers.
That perspective feeds directly into our advice. Good decisions rely on understanding the numbers, what sits behind them and where the risks and opportunities lie.
Combining transaction experience with financial and tax due diligence, data analysis and strategic insight helps us give businesses and investors a clearer basis for decisions throughout the transaction lifecycle.
With one quarter of 2026 remaining, K3 Advisory Group continues to lead the UK market while ranking second in Europe and third globally.
