About us
Origins
Founded in 2000, NextLevelCorporate emerged from the need for a revolutionary approach to corporate finance and strategic development as the tech bubble burst and traditional investment banking fell short.
Mike Ganon, a pioneer in Perth’s independent advisory industry envisioned a firm offering highly customised corporate development solutions. Solutions designed provide companies with M&A and capital markets superpowers to create, grow and realise value—completely free from external influences and conflicted agendas.
Today, NextLevelCorporate remains a unique force in delivering conflict-free, independent advice across industries and borders as well as expert corporate development design, transactional execution, direct access to international markets and investor-readiness superpowers.
Why we’re still here after 25 years
Corporate development is our core competency. It’s not a side hustle.

We take the time to thoroughly grasp your purpose, vision, and aspirations, and craft bespoke solutions that bring them to life—whether that’s advice, strategy design, growth or exit event origination, or deal execution.
If you’re looking for insightful financial superpowers that can accelerate each transformative level of your unique corporate development journey, no matter your stage of development or industry, you’ve come to the right place.
What we offer
From ideating, designing, buying or selling, merging, responding to takeovers and approaches, arranging schemes of arrangement, crafting joint ventures, issuing new shares, selling down existing shares, to buybacks and more—we provide comprehensive corporate development solutions.
Whether you need independent advice and probity services, proactive buy-side and corporate development strategies, or reactive approaches to immediate transactions, NextLevelCorporate has your back and is here to help.
