    • Reporting output that a client estates team actually acts on
    • Assessors registered with a recognised competency scheme

    What buyers have ruled out

    • Consultancy revenue tied entirely to the owner personally

    Consideration and structure

    What acquirers registered against this brief have stated they can offer. Nothing here is an offer, and no structure is guaranteed to any owner.

    • Strong margins attract higher multiples than installation-led models
    • Retention of the assessor team is usually the central negotiation point
