Testimonials

I had a tricky situation, a business divorce is how I refer to it, where I had to split from my co-owner after many years of friendship. Rishi was extremely helpful and reassuring throughout the whole process. He consistently explained all my options in clear language and guided me through every step, helping me to make the right choices for myself and the business. I was told he specialised in private companies, specifically owner-managed businesses, and this really showed. I would highly recommend Rishi to anyone going through something similar.
