What acquirers are actually looking for
Published buyer requirements from acquirers registered with DealFlowAgent across building services, facilities management and healthcare.
Published buyer requirements across building services, facilities management and healthcare in the United Kingdom and United States. Each brief is written from what registered acquirers have told us they want.
Most owners never find out who wants their business until they run a sale process and hope the right buyer turns up. This register works the other way around. The demand is published first, so an owner can see whether their business is what a serious acquirer is already searching for, before anyone is approached and before anything is disclosed.

One scope statement for every brief. Individual briefs carry no revenue or profit figures, because a narrow band reads as though a single named buyer wants exactly that and owners either side of it assume they are out of scope. They are not.
Building services and facilities management
Statutory, compliance-led and essential services. Acquirers in this group buy contracted maintenance, accreditation and delivery teams that remain after completion.
Clinical and care businesses, plus the services that keep healthcare estates compliant. Regulation, clinician retention and commissioner or payer relationships drive what acquirers will and will not consider.
Trade buyers acquiring for operational reasons. They know the discipline, so diligence moves quickly, and they will pay for capability they would otherwise have to build.
Investors buying for a return over a defined period. Structure matters more here: management depth, reporting quality and how much of the price is deferred.

This is a buyer requirement, not a company for sale. DealFlowAgent acts for owners. Briefs describe what registered acquirers are looking for.
Registered demand is published once this brief clears three acquirers.
