Fellwood Advisory

Fellwood Advisory is a specialist debt advisory practice headquartered in Manchester, UK, that provides tailored financing solutions to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across the United Kingdom. Founded in May 2023 by Craig Cheetham, the firm was established to help businesses navigate the fragmented UK debt market. In August 2025, Fellwood Advisory was acquired by the professional services firm Cooper Parry, a move designed to scale its operations nationally while retaining its brand and specialized approach.

The firm offers an independent, advisor-led service, managing the financing process from start to finish without ties to any specific lender. The senior team collectively holds over three decades of experience in corporate lending and advisory. Fellwood Advisory specializes in securing debt facilities typically ranging from £2 million to £50 million for corporate and private equity-backed clients. Its services cover a wide range of financing needs, including acquisition finance, working capital, capital expenditure and development finance, debt-funded buyouts, and refinancing.

The business model is centered on providing expert guidance through the complexities of the debt market. They use their experience from senior lending roles to understand a client's business and financing requirements, then run a competitive process with a wide network of lenders, including debt funds, banks, and asset-based lenders, to secure favorable terms and pricing.
