No jargon. No unnecessary complexity. Just advice you can understand and use.

Hands-on and personal

You work directly with an experienced adviser who takes the time to understand your business and what matters to you.

On your side

We think like owners, not deal-makers. This is more than a transaction.

Our Story

After many years in corporate finance, Robbie Milliken founded Ballyvale in late 2025 to do things differently — with a more personal, more straightforward approach that’s genuinely aligned with business owners.

We combine deep deal experience with a strong professional network and a real commitment to helping you navigate important decisions with clarity and confidence.
