Just Some of who we’ve worked with

What’s Standing Between You and the Growth You Deserve?

You’ve done the hard part - you’ve built something real. But now, growing to the next level feels harder than it should. The decisions are bigger, the stakes are higher, and the noise is louder. And even though you know there's massive potential, you're stuck juggling too many moving parts - wondering what to do next, and who to trust.

Sound familiar? These are the problems we see every day.

“Everyone’s giving me different advice. I’m stuck between chasing growth and protecting what I’ve built. What if I choose wrong?”

I’m stuck between chasing growth and protecting what I’ve built.

“I’m worried I’ll get locked into the wrong deal, with the wrong people, and regret it when it’s too late to back out.”

This deal looks good on paper… but something feels off

I need money to grow - but I don’t want to give away the farm.

“What if I raise capital and lose control? I’ve seen it happen. I’ve worked too hard to hand over the keys.”

We’re growing, but I know we’re leaving money on the table.

“I can feel there’s a bigger opportunity in front of me - but we don’t have the time or clarity to act on it.”

I don’t want to wake up one day and hate what I’ve built.

“What if growth changes everything I care about? The culture, the brand, the purpose - I don’t want to lose the soul of the business.”

You Don’t Need to Figure This Out Alone

We get it - growing through deals, raising capital, or scaling your business can feel overwhelming. The stakes are high, the advice is noisy, and you're carrying the weight of every decision. You want to move fast, but you also want to protect what you've built - your team, your values, your legacy.

I’m Michael Ferguson, founder of Corpana. I’ve spent the past 15 years helping entrepreneurs, investors, and business leaders like you navigate complex growth challenges - from strategy and M&A to raising capital and scaling with the right partners. I’ve worked with companies across stages and sectors, delivering over £100 million in successful deals and growth projects.

I started Corpana because I saw how often founders were given generic advice that didn’t reflect their ambitions - or the reality of running a business. That’s why we do things differently. You’ll get straight talk, real support, and a team that walks with you from idea to execution.

You’ve built something worth protecting. Now let’s build what’s next - without compromising who you are

Growing a business isn’t just about moving fast, it’s about moving smart. Entrepreneurs often face a brutal trade-off: grow or stay in control. But we don’t believe you should have to choose. At Corpana, we help ambitious, entrepreneur-led businesses grow exponentially without sacrificing control, identity, or legacy. Every move we make together - from strategy to execution - is about one thing: growth that stays true to you.
