Around The Web

Over the past few years, our work in M&A advisory and premium cigars has been featured across specialist blogs, business directories, professional networks and enthusiast communities. The links below highlight some of the places where Deal Ascent and Fine Cigars Club are referenced online.

Deal Ascent – selected mentions

Financial advisory blogs
Owners exploring a sale of their company or financial advisory practice often come to us after reading practical guides on preparation, valuation and buyer outreach. A recent example is the independent resource “Sell My Business Financial Advisor,” which discusses why preparation is the difference between a failed process and a successful exit, and cites our perspective on deal readiness and buyer targeting. You can read that article here:

Business directories
Deal Ascent is also listed in a range of business and startup directories that help founders and intermediaries discover specialist M&A support. These profiles summarise our focus on lower mid‑market transactions and our success‑fee–only model, as well as basic firm information for potential partners and investors.

Press listings
Local and sector press occasionally cover niche advisory firms that operate between traditional investment banks and small business brokers. One such listing for Deal Ascent appears in the Evening Standard’s local business directory, where our London presence and M&A advisory services are profiled for business owners considering a sale.

Professional and social platforms
Because M&A is relationship‑driven, much of our visibility comes through professional and social networks where we share insights on deal preparation, buyer strategy and market trends. Our LinkedIn company page, personal writing on Medium, and participation in communities like Reddit provide an accessible way for owners and advisors to understand how we work before engaging with us.

Social bookmarking profiles
A few of our articles and resources are also surfaced through bookmarking and profile platforms, which some founders still use to curate business and finance content. These profiles occasionally reference Deal Ascent and link back to our core material for owners planning an exit.

Fine Cigars Club – selected mentions

Cigar blogs and editorial features
Fine Cigars Club has been highlighted across several cigar‑focused blogs and editorial platforms that explore industry trends, brand history and cigar culture. These include the Cigar Insider microsite and longer‑form commentary on the growth and regulation of the premium cigar industry, as well as brand‑neutral educational pieces such as guides to Montecristo and introductions to new cigar publications.

Press and magazine coverage
Our work in documenting cigar regions and producers has been featured in lifestyle and culture outlets, including a travel piece exploring the heart of cigar country in Nicaragua, as well as UK press directories. These features typically focus on the craft behind handmade cigars and the people who produce them, while referencing Fine Cigars Club as a specialist retailer.

Business and local directories
Fine Cigars Club is listed in multiple business and local search directories, which help customers and trade partners find us for retail, events and collaborations. These profiles cover our London base, product focus and contact details, and are often used by new customers searching for reputable tobacconists and cigar specialists.

Thought leadership and publishing
Beyond pure retail, Fine Cigars Club is closely connected to thought leadership and publishing in the cigar space. Personal and company profiles, newsletters and trade‑facing platforms often reference our work on education, editorial projects and community building around premium cigars.

Visual content and storytelling
A significant part of our cigar work is visual: documenting factories, fields, lounges and events through photography and video. This content is shared across photo‑ and video‑first platforms, where audiences can follow behind‑the‑scenes stories, production trips and product features that occasionally reference Fine Cigars Club directly.

Cigar communities and forums
Finally, Fine Cigars Club is present in established cigar forums and communities, where long‑form discussions about blends, storage, travel and producers take place. Profiles in these communities help connect our editorial and retail work with serious enthusiasts who value independent perspectives as much as product access.
