Selling an FM Business is Different
Contract quality, TUPE, client concentration and self-delivery mix all change the price. We have seen every scenario.
You do not know what your contracts are worth.
A spreadsheet of MRR does not equal a buyer's valuation. Acquirers price on contracted versus reactive mix, churn, length and client concentration. Most owners undersell by 20 to 40 percent because they price on revenue, not contract quality.
You are nervous about TUPE and staff disruption.
Your people are the business. We structure deals to protect your team, novate contracts cleanly and stage staff communication only after heads of terms are signed.
You have one buyer sniffing around, not a process.
A single buyer is a single price. We run a confidential competitive process to 200 to 300 qualified acquirers so the winning offer is the result of competition, not negotiation against you.
You are worried about client concentration questions.
Acquirers will probe top-client concentration. We help you frame the narrative around contract renewals, frameworks and pipeline so concentration is positioned as relationship strength rather than risk.
