HELPING YOU ACHIEVE BETTER DEALS

Unknown to most business owners, there's a wealth of hidden talent capable of doing a far better job. There are 1000+ corporate finance firms, boutique investment banks, transaction advisory firms, M&A houses and a whole host of others, firms that tend to be more professional and more competent at selling businesses than most business brokers are.

But business owners end up with the wrong brokers and get a lower price because:

Note: You need to be a certain size before the real professionals will take you on. I advise £5m in turnover or £500K in pre-tax profit. (If smaller than that, please click here.)

Some of the biggest names fail to sell 96%-97% of their clients' businesses! Don't go by the broker's own claims about their high "success rates". (On this page I disclose how you can get the truth about many brokers' real success rates.)

On the other hand, there are firms who do achieve the sale of almost every business they take on. Only I can help you find them.

There is one more reason to be very careful with your choice of broker. There are many bad players in this industry. Read some extracts of horror stories.

I maintain the UK's national database of the approx 1,000 intermediary firms who do business disposals of all kinds. I track their sector specialisation, their fees & fee structures, their FCA status, their reputation (awards won / client feedback), the kind of businesses they are willing to take on, their past sales of businesses like yours, their cross border expertise ...and a hundred other touch points.

There is nowhere in the UK you can get the intelligence and data I've collected over the last 20 years. And nowhere else you can get completely unbiased advice (I take no kickbacks from brokers).

But I don't just dump that information in your lap. I help you, using a structured process that has worked successfully for numerous previous clients, and work with you to find the firm that's best placed to help you reach your specific exit goals. Some past client case studies.

I do it in a confidential and secure way, and the big decision of whom to appoint is always entirely yours. No broker / intermediary is given your details (unless you make a written request for an introduction to them).

Top firms won't negotiate with you. I'm talking boutique investment banks, M&A advisories and top industry professionals. Try to negotiate with them and you'll offend them.

I, however, can negotiate with them, and regularly do. Given my position in the market of matching business owners with brokers, I am a potential source of future business for them so they like to keep me happy.

But the biggest discount comes from the "introducer commission". Many intermediaries pay a commission of several tens of thousands of pounds to an introducer who brings them a good client. Given I take no kickbacks from brokers I am able to get them to deduct this "introducer commission" from the fees they are charging you.

Let's not be coy, the service I provide is not one you can get anywhere else. And I save my average client £30K in broker fees. So I make no bones about the fact that I charge a £1,500 + VAT fee up front. But your first consultation call is completely free, and you will find it extremely useful!

There is a further fee later, but that is contingent ie. it is payable only if you end up choosing a broker / intermediary I've found for you (and who you weren't able to find yourself) and if I negotiate terms with that intermediary to save you a large chunk on the fees you would have otherwise paid them and if you then successfully sell your business.

For the record: To date, every client has been delighted with this service and would recommend it. Referrals available on request.

I go through a structured process to ensure you end up with the best choice, more details available on request.

But before you pay, arrange for a free consultation call. There is no hard sell, simply a chat to answer your questions and share knowledge and deep understanding of the industry. You are guaranteed to go away a lot smarter.
