What Every Owner Needs to Know
You have probably been approached by PE-backed platforms, national groups and trade buyers. Without competing offers, the buyer sets the pace, anchors low, and waits.
"How will a buyer value my 1,200 lift maintenance contracts?"
Acquirers will typically apply a multiple to your recurring revenue from maintenance contracts, often differentiating between basic and comprehensive agreements. We ensure buyers recognize the full value of your portfolio.
"What happens to my team of NVQ-qualified lift engineers and my operations manager?"
Your experienced engineers and manager are highly valuable to an acquirer looking to expand their regional footprint. We structure deals to protect your team.
"With the new Safety of Buildings Act coming into force, will this increase my compliance costs?"
The new regulations can be positioned as a strength. By demonstrating full compliance and having a clear plan, you present your business as a low-risk, forward-thinking operation.
