01 / Direct
A personal conversation.
Speak directly with the buyer. We acquire for our own portfolio and charge no seller-side brokerage fee.
Our approach
A clear process.
A considered transition.
Selling a business can feel complex. Our aim is to make the process understandable, confidential and proportionate from the beginning.
From first conversation to handover
Six steps.
One personal approach.
Explore each stage to understand how we work with you, from an initial introduction to your next chapter.
Step 01 / 06
It starts with listening.
A private, informal discussion about your business, why you may be considering a sale and what matters most to you in a transaction.
There is no obligation. You do not need to have made a final decision before contacting us.
Step 02 / 06
Finding the right fit.
If there is potential alignment, we review selected headline information: trading history, customers, team, financial performance and market position.
This is also your opportunity to understand our intentions and decide whether we may be the right buyer.
Step 03 / 06
A structure shaped around you.
We discuss a proposed valuation, transaction structure and likely handover. Consideration may take different forms and timings, depending on the business and your needs.
No two acquisitions are identical. We consider each opportunity individually.
Step 04 / 06
A focused, practical review.
After agreeing headline terms, we review the financial, commercial, operational and legal aspects of the company.
We aim to keep requests organised and minimise disruption to day-to-day trading.
Step 05 / 06
Moving forward together.
Once due diligence and legal documentation are complete, the transaction proceeds to completion. We coordinate closely with you and your professional advisers.
Any acquisition remains subject to satisfactory due diligence, funding, contract and final approval.
Step 06 / 06
A handover that makes sense.
We agree a handover suited to the business. Some owners prefer a defined departure; others value a gradual transition or a period of ongoing involvement.
Your preferences and the needs of the business are discussed openly from the outset.

02 / Flexible
A practical structure.

Continuity matters.
We seek to understand the people, customer relationships and supplier knowledge that make the business successful.
Before we begin
A few questions
you may have.
You can start a conversation before you have every answer. We are happy to listen.
Do I need to be ready to sell?
No. Many owners begin conversations well before making a final decision. We are happy to understand your longer-term plans.
Will discussions remain confidential?
We handle initial conversations and business information sensitively. Where appropriate, a formal confidentiality agreement can be put in place before detailed information is shared.
Do I need to leave immediately?
Not necessarily. We can discuss a defined transition or a period of ongoing involvement, where mutually beneficial.
How do you value a business?
We consider maintainable profitability, customer concentration, management dependence, growth prospects, working-capital needs and the overall quality of the company. Each opportunity is reviewed individually.
