FOCUS Capital Partners announces £3 million UK expansion
Dublin, Ireland and London, United Kingdom (13 March 2026) – FOCUS Capital Partners, an international corporate finance advisory firm founded in Ireland, today announced the expansion of its United Kingdom operations following the successful opening of its London office in 2025.
The international firm with offices in Ireland and the USA will invest £3 million over the next three years, creating 10 new jobs and strengthening its ability to support UK SMEs with strategic advice on mergers, acquisitions and growth capital.
The announcement is made as part of the UK-Ireland Summit in Cork where Taoiseach Micheál Martin and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer meet to discuss the importance of strengthening economic ties between the two countries.
Robert Adams, President of FOCUS, said:
“Following the successful launch of our London office, this investment reflects our confidence in and our long-term commitment to the UK as a key hub for our international business. The UK is home to a vibrant community of ambitious SMEs and we see strong demand for independent advice on selling or acquiring a business and raising capital.”
“Our deep industry expertise and global network enable us to connect companies with investors and strategic buyers worldwide, including supporting Irish businesses looking to grow and invest in the UK.”
Kara Owen, British Ambassador to Ireland, commented:
“Today’s summit shows the real momentum behind Irish investment into the UK. FOCUS Capital Partners’ announcement is a great example of this, and I am delighted to see their £3 million investment and creation of 10 new jobs.”
“As one of 15 Irish companies announcing £937 million in new investment and 850 jobs across the UK, FOCUS Capital Partners is helping to drive growth in corporate finance and strategic advisory services.”
“This investment will make a real difference to communities and forms an important part of the wider wave of Irish commitments being celebrated today. I look forward to seeing the impact of this investment in the months and years ahead.”
FOCUS’s expansion in the UK market underscores its ambition to be the leading M&A advisory firm in lower middle-market M&A and capital raising, enabling the firm to serve a wider range of clients and industries worldwide.
