About Sovereign Capital Advisory

We know what it’s like to build something from nothing - and to wonder what it’s really worth. Sovereign Capital Advisory exists to help founders turn built value into generational outcomes - without pressure, without games, and without regret.

Our Story

Sovereign Capital Advisory was founded on a simple observation: most successful founder-led businesses are incredibly valuable, but structurally unprepared for the opportunities that value could unlock.

Having worked with hundreds of business owners across Australia, we've seen brilliant entrepreneurs leave millions on the table simply because their businesses weren't positioned correctly for exit, investment, or succession.

We exist to change that narrative. Our approach combines deep financial expertise with an understanding of the emotional journey that founders experience when considering their next chapter.

"After 20+ years building and exiting businesses, I saw firsthand how founders were often the last to benefit from their own success. I founded Sovereign to shift the power dynamic and give founders a path to capitalise on their life's work on their terms.”
