Our founder
James Nelson
Founder & M&A Valuation Director
James founded The Business Valuers to give SME owners access to the same calibre of valuation expertise typically reserved for large corporates. He started his career in transaction advisory and, speaking with business owners across the UK in a wide range of industries, it became obvious there was a need for valuations that were neither biased by sales pressure nor based on purely theoretical academic models.
As a business owner himself for over 20 years, James knows the value of experienced advice — delivered clearly, with actionable information.
