We run confidential, competitive sale processes backed by a proprietary network of more than 13,000 acquirers, so owners negotiate with several serious buyers rather than accepting the first approach that lands. Senior advisors handle every mandate. Sector focus, direct buyer relationships and our own research tools replace the listing-and-waiting model most owners are offered. Get Your Free Buyer ListBook a Confidential Call 22 Transactions worked on by the team 13,000+ Acquirers in our proprietary network £500K to £100M Enterprise value range we advise on UK & US Where our buyers and sellers sit ## Why we exist Most owners sell once. The buyer across the table has done it many times. That imbalance costs sellers real money, usually through an unchallenged first offer or a structure that pushes value into an earn-out nobody defends. We give owners of £500K to £100M businesses the same standard of representation that mid-market private equity takes for granted. ## How we work Human-led, intelligence-led. Senior advisors own the relationship and the negotiation. Our research tools map the acquirer universe, rank buyers on fit and capability, and surface live intent before we make an approach. The result is a shorter list of better-qualified buyers and a process that keeps competitive pressure on price from first contact to completion. ## What we actually do Three phases, one objective: the highest defensible price on terms you can live with. Phase 1 ### Position and prepare We build the equity story, normalise earnings and remove the issues that buyers use to discount price before your business reaches the market. Phase 2 ### Run a competitive process We approach a ranked list of trade, private equity and strategic acquirers from our network so you negotiate with several parties, not one. Phase 3 ### Hold value to completion We manage diligence, deal structure and the earn-out mechanics so the headline number survives to the wire transfer.
