Bespoke Corporate Advisory

Senior support for the projects that matter most.

Balfene plugs in for the one-off projects and special situations — M&A, capital, restructures — where founders, funds, and family offices need extra senior bandwidth, or an independent buy-side perspective.

Anthony Edwards

The operator

Institutional-grade judgement, on call.

Anthony Edwards founded Balfene in 2019 after a career in real estate, funds management and private equity — with direct involvement in more than $1.5 billion of transactions across both buy-side and sell-side mandates.

Balfene exists for the moments in between — the one-off project, the special situation, the decision where a founder, fund or family office needs an extra pair of senior hands, or a perspective they can trust. Calm, considered, and selective by design.

The wider practice

One operator. Three lenses on business value.

Balfene is the bespoke, human layer. Two sister businesses sit alongside it — same buy-side discipline, different stages of the journey.
