Each owner has worked with the DealFlowAgent team to prepare a mandate: a valuation, a written reserve figure and a banded profile. They are not on the market and they are not advertised anywhere. If a verified acquirer meets the reserve, the owner will sit down and talk. Nothing below it reaches them. If you are a business owner, start here. If you acquire businesses, scroll to Register interest as a buyer. [Value my business ](/valuation) Ninety seconds. No cost. Nothing published. [View current mandates](/off-market#mandates) ## Not for sale, but open No sale process is running. The owner has told us the number at which they would seriously engage. ## Prepared in advance Accounts reviewed, figures banded and verified, reserve agreed in writing before anything is published. ## Anonymous until approved The company is never named here. The name goes to one verified acquirer, with the owner’s written approval. Why each business is called a project, and what that means Every mandate is given a project codename, as is standard practice in mergers and acquisitions. It is a working label chosen at random by DealFlowAgent so that a business can be discussed with acquirers, lawyers and funders without the company, its staff or its customers being identified. The codename means nothing on its own. Searching it will not return the company, because the name exists only inside this register and the documents that sit behind it. When you read Project Halyard, read it as the label on a sealed file rather than a brand. The plain description above each project tells you what the business actually does, where it operates and what size it is. ## This is not a business-for-sale website Your company is never named on this website. It is never advertised, never circulated to a list, and never shown to anyone who has not been verified first. Most owners on this register are not selling. They are growing, they intend to keep growing, and they are fielding several unsolicited approaches a month with no way to tell a credible acquirer from a speculative one. What a public business-for-sale website does What the Off-Market Register does Publishes your company name Publishes a banded, anonymous profile only Anyone can see it Acquirers are verified before they see anything You are visibly on the market You are not running a sale process, and the page says so Every enquiry lands on you Every enquiry lands on us You find out what you are worth from the first offer You set the figure in advance and nothing below it reaches you It stays up until it sells Each mandate runs for 45 days, then comes off We stand between the owner and the approach. ## How confidentiality works here Six protections, on every mandate, without exception. Your company is never named on this page. At any stage. Not in the title, not in the text, not in the illustration. The name is released to one specific acquirer, only after you have approved that specific introduction in writing. Every figure is published as a band. A precise turnover, a filing date and a region will narrow most UK sectors to a single company. Bands are wide enough to protect your identity, and wide enough that a growing business does not fall out of its own mandate. Every band is checked against filed accounts and management information before it is published. Independent checks before anything goes live. We test the page for re-identification before it is published. We ask an artificial intelligence model to name the company from the page alone, we sense check it with a senior figure who knows the sector, and we run the bands through Companies House filters to confirm the resulting set of companies is large enough to hide you. If any of those checks points at you, the bands widen or the mandate does not go live. Documents are watermarked to the recipient and every view is logged. You can see who has opened what, and when. If a document moves, we know whose copy it was. Each mandate runs for 45 days. Then it comes off the register unless you renew it. A company that sits visible and inactive is a company whose position weakens. We do not allow that to happen to you. No public process, ever. No advertisement, no open circulation, no third-party syndication, and no presence on any public business-for-sale website. Your staff, customers and suppliers have no way of knowing this page exists. ## Who is behind this ### The team - Joe Lewin Founder, DealFlowAgent - Martin Watson Senior Building Services and Facilities Management Advisor, former chairman in fire and security - Nick Barker Industry Partner, founder of FM Talent Partners - James Duboullay Senior M&A Advisor - Emerson Patton Sector Specialist, building services and facilities management - Kaya Kesici M&A Advisor, fire safety, security and compliance ### Where the acquirer network comes from We work in one set of sectors and we spend our time in them. Five days exhibiting at Interschutz. The Fire Safety Event. Trade associations, industry boards, and hundreds of direct conversations with acquirers who are actively buying in fire and life safety, HVAC, building services, testing and compliance, and healthcare. That work is done before you arrive. ### Track record 22 Completed transactions 13,000+ Acquirers in our network £500K to £100M Transaction range Most sell-side advisers are generalists.

The owner sets it in writing before the mandate goes live. It is private, it is disclosed to verified acquirers at non-disclosure agreement stage, and it is a threshold for engagement rather than an asking price or a cap. ## The four gates How an acquirer moves from first contact to the company being named. 01 ### Acquirer verification Funding, sector experience, prior completions and decision authority are confirmed first. No company information released 02 ### NDA and financial pack A short non-disclosure agreement releases the figures, the reserve and the contract base. Identity withheld 03 ### Owner approval The owner reads a written profile of the acquirer and decides. Only then is the company named. Owner's written approval required 04 ### Indicative offer Acquirers who meet the reserve are invited to offer. More than one qualifying, we run a process. Reserve must be met ## Who we accept ### What we look for - £2.5M to £30M of revenue, most mandates £6M to £18M - Profitable, or within 10% of breakeven with a clear path - A meaningful base of contracted or repeat revenue - Essential services: fire and life safety, HVAC and mechanical, lift and escalator, electrical, security, facilities management, testing and compliance, and healthcare - An owner willing to set a reserve ### What we decline - Sectors where we do not already hold qualified acquirers - Owners unwilling to set a reserve figure - Figures that cannot survive the re-identification checks - Businesses already represented on an exclusive basis We decline more than we accept. That is what makes the register worth an acquirer's attention. ### If you own a business Start with the valuation. Ninety seconds, no cost, and nothing you enter is published anywhere. If the result is interesting we will talk about whether a mandate makes sense for you. There is no obligation to sell, and no obligation to sell with us. [Value my business ](/valuation) ### If you acquire businesses Verification takes under a working day. On approval you receive the financial pack, the reserve and the contract base analysis under a non-disclosure agreement. [Register interest as a buyer](/buyside) ## Questions owners ask ### Is my business advertised anywhere? ### Do I have to sign an exclusive mandate? ### What does it cost? ### What if I decide I do not want to sell? ### Why are the figures banded rather than exact? ### How do you verify acquirers? ### How long does a mandate stay live? ### What happens if a qualified acquirer meets my reserve? * * * All figures on the Off-Market Register are published as bands and are verified against filed accounts and management information.

End of mandate  ·  About DealFlowAgent, the advisory firm behind it For business owners ## Every mandate here started with an owner who was not ready to sell They wanted to know what their business was worth, who would realistically buy it and what those buyers would pay, without anyone in their market finding out they had asked. We did the legwork. If the right buyer turned up at the right number, they had a decision to make. If not, nothing changed and nobody knew. That is the whole idea. 01 ### We find and qualify the buyers We approach acquirers from a network of more than 13,000, confirm funding and intent, and only bring you parties who can actually complete. You never chase anyone. 02 ### Your name stays out of it Your business is presented in bands, under a codename. Staff, customers, suppliers and competitors learn nothing. The company is named to one acquirer at a time, only once you approve that introduction in writing. 03 ### You find out what it is worth first Most owners start with a valuation and a view of who would buy them, years before they are ready to move. There is no obligation to sell, and no fee to find out. ### Two ways to start, both confidential Get an indicative valuation range and a view of who would buy you, or speak to us first. A discovery call takes twenty minutes, covers what your business would be worth today, what would move that number and how we keep your identity protected. No fee, no obligation, no contact with any buyer until you say so.
