Cactus

Cactus is Europe’s leading agency M&A and growth advisory consultancy.

Over our 10+ years operating, we’ve helped successfully scale over 3,500 agencies and assisted many others to acquire, merge or exit their businesses.

Cactus was co-founded by two former agency founders who knew what it took to successfully grow and scale an agency organically in the digital era. After taking their own agency from start-up to exit and finishing the journey as a top 8 UK digital business, they decided to form Cactus to help others achieve the growth goals they too aspired to achieve.
