We have been advising private business owners on buying, funding and selling businesses for three decades, through all the market ups and downs. Corbett Keeling was founded in 1993 by our Chairman and CEO, Jim Keeling, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather who had run similar businesses.  To kick start 2023 in style, we can report that our global family of partner firms, Globalscope, closed more than €20 billion in M&A transactions in 2022  – our strongest year to date. We have plenty to celebrate and have planned exciting events, interesting insights and even a competition or two for the year ahead. Keep a close eye on our news page for updates. ## Subscribe to our newsletter Corbett Keeling in the Media View the videos below to see Jim Keeling interviewed by The Telegraph's Business Reporter, and in conversation with Ian King Live on Sky News.
