What Ineo Corporate does

Ineo Corporate (legal name: INEO CORPORATE BARCELONA, S.L.) is a privately held Spanish M&A boutique consultancy founded in 1999 in Barcelona, specializing in advisory services for mid-market transactions valued between €10-250M. The firm operates a portfolio of five integrated service lines: M&A Consulting (buy-side and sell-side advisory), Corporate Finance (financial restructuring, debt advisory, and capital raising), Financial Services (due diligence, business plans, and company valuation), Public Law (urban planning, environmental law, and administrative contracting), and a Start-ups service line targeting seed and venture capital financing. Its client base spans multinational corporates, family businesses, SMEs, and public-sector entities across Spain and Latin America, with offices in Barcelona (headquarters), Madrid, and Bogotá, and active operations in Chile.

The firm operates on a partner-led, relationship-driven engagement model with no disclosed proprietary technology platform; revenue is generated through professional advisory fees structured as retainers, success fees, or hourly rates on a per-engagement basis. It maintains strategic independence from financial institutions to avoid conflicts of interest and supplements its direct origination through the AICA (Alliance of International Corporate Advisors) network, which provides 38 member firms, 58 offices, and 250+ professionals across 39 countries for cross-border deal flow and co-advisory. The company is staffed by 12+ named partners including former government ministers, Big Four alumni (KPMG, Arthur Andersen, Ernst & Young), and senior operators from major Spanish and multinational corporates, positioning the firm as a relationship-intensive boutique rather than a technology-led platform.
