Corporate & M&A Advisory · Sydney, Australia

The best outcomes don't just happen. They're shaped: structure, timing and positioning brought into harmony.

Narra Aiki Advisory works with founders, boards and shareholders on the sale, acquisition and strategic positioning of businesses, with particular depth in healthcare and in emerging technologies at the point of high growth and early adoption. Senior-led, deliberately small, and built around discretion.

Where we add value

Execution discipline is the minimum. Principal experience is the difference.

Modelling, documentation and process management come with every mandate, rigorously done and never the headline. Rarer is the adviser who has also deployed capital and built businesses in healthcare and technology. We structure, price and defend a transaction the way an owner would, not the way a process demands.

Complex transaction structures

Structures engineered to the objective, not just the headline number: earn-outs, milestone and staged mechanics, licensing and partnership hybrids, retained interests. Designed so the deal delivers what it was meant to, and holds together after signing.

Value ahead of the earnings curve

High-growth businesses in healthcare and emerging technologies are often bought before earnings mature: on evidence, adoption trajectory, IP and strategic fit. We build the value case that bridges that gap, credibly, for boards and acquirers alike.

Competitive process design

Discreet, targeted processes that create genuine tension among the acquirers who matter, including converting an unsolicited approach into a position of strength rather than a single-party negotiation.

Where we work

Two sectors where complexity is the norm, not the exception.

Principal-level experience across sell-side and buy-side transactions, capital deployment and strategic advisory, concentrated where regulatory depth, clinical evidence and early-stage value make deals genuinely hard.

Healthcare

From medical devices and surgical technologies through to services, care delivery and funding: a sector where evidence, reimbursement and regulation shape every transaction.

Devices & surgical technologies

Transaction experience across orthopaedics and the broader device landscape, including engagement with the global strategics active in the sector.

Services & care delivery

Experience across orthopaedic, physiotherapy, dental and care services, including capital deployment into healthcare operating businesses and platforms.

Insurance & funding pathways

Deep experience of how healthcare is paid for, gained inside a market-leading health insurer: private health insurance, self-funded patient pathways, and how funding models shape enterprise value.

Technology

Emerging technologies in their high-growth, early-adoption phase, where value rests on trajectory, intellectual property and strategic fit rather than trailing earnings.

Surgical planning & digital surgery

Experience with planning platforms and enabling technologies at the point where clinical promise must translate into a commercial value case acquirers will underwrite.

AI deployment

Deploying artificial intelligence to drive efficiency across operations and service delivery, and assessing where AI capability genuinely moves enterprise value.

Systems & platform deployment

Implementation of enterprise systems at scale: the operational discipline behind technology businesses that must prove deployment, not just product.

Consistent with the confidential nature of our work, we do not publish client names or transaction details. Specific credentials and references can be discussed under confidentiality, on request.

How we work

Aiki: the art of harmony.

Our name is our method. In aikido, aiki is the practice of harmonising with energy rather than opposing it. In a transaction it means the same thing: bringing structure, timing and positioning into harmony with the momentum already in a situation, whether an inbound approach, a strategic gap or a market shift, and turning it toward our client's objective.

Senior-led, always

The person you meet on day one is the person running your transaction on the day it completes. No leverage model, no hand-offs.

Discretion by design

Deliberately narrow processes, tightly held information, and communication practices built for situations where confidentiality is the asset.

A few mandates at a time

We take on a small number of engagements so that each receives principal attention throughout, not just at pitch and signing.
