Track Record
B2B & Data Services
Our B2B and data Services M&A Advisory Practice is built on over 20 years of experience supporting founders, owners, and investors across the sector. Uniquely, our team brings first-hand industry experience as former operators, giving us a practical understanding of the commercial drivers, revenue models, and growth levers that underpin successful B2B businesses.
We combine this operator perspective with deep sector knowledge and extensive networks across strategic buyers, private equity investors, and international acquirers. Having advised through multiple cycles of industry evolution, from print to digital and increasingly towards data-driven and subscription-led models, we understand how value is created and realised in a rapidly changing landscape.
Our approach is both strategic and analytical, underpinned by data and market intelligence to position assets effectively and create competitive tension. This enables us to deliver optimal outcomes for clients, aligning valuation, structure, and long-term strategic fit in every transaction.

Narrative: Highly strategic merger with YouGov after extensive global process. An all-cash up front deal at 1.66x initial offers.
Rezonence Chairman, Tony Edwards: "As Chair, my role is to deal with competing stakeholder priorities, and the buck ultimately stops with me. Bean Partners Ventures Limited helped me personally to be a better diplomat, and more broadly really guided our team through the process. We were able to pin every decision back to the evidence provided by the intelligence, giving us confidence and clarity in our decisions and stakeholder communications."
