New Deal: Advantage provides FDD in Blume acquisition of Claims.co.uk

K3 Advantage, a specialist financial advisory firm, has successfully provided comprehensive buy-side financial and tax due diligence services to Blume in its acquisition of Claims.co.uk, a leading lead generation company in the legal sector.

The acquisition represents a significant milestone in Blume’s growth strategy within the personal injury and clinical negligence sectors. K3 Advantage delivered essential deal advisory and expertise in valuation and financial structuring.

Claims.co.uk, based in Belfast, has established itself as a premier provider of high-quality legal enquiries over the past decade through targeted content marketing, strategic social media engagement, and effective paid advertising campaigns. The company will maintain its brand, Belfast facilities, and existing leadership team under MD and Founder John Quail while becoming part of the Blume collective.

K3 Advantage’s advisory services supported Blume around complexities of this transaction, ensuring the company could make informed decisions at every stage of the acquisition process. The firm’s data-driven financial assessment provided Blume with critical insights that supported their strategic objective of enhancing service offerings to law firms in the personal injury and clinical negligence sectors.

Alex Kenny, CEO of Blume, commented on the acquisition: ” We’ve worked with Claims.co.uk for over 12 months now, and are excited to welcome them to Blume. John has built a fantastic business and brand, and the collaboration between marketing teams will allow us to innovate and amplify our efforts so we can capitalise on new business opportunities as well as grow our law firm panels.”

This acquisition marks Blume’s first under the leadership of Chief Executive Alex Kenny, who took over from Dez Derry approximately 12 months ago. The company continues its expansion trajectory, having opened a new office at Towers Business Park in South Manchester in April 2024 and appointed Adam Fletcher as Chief Customer Officer in October 2024.

The successful completion of this deal highlights K3 Advantage’s growing reputation for delivering data infused financial advisory services in the professional services sector. By providing comprehensive due diligence and experienced guidance, K3 Advantage continues to support clients in achieving their growth objectives.
