SaleBrokerage

Sell · Seller-side · success-based

When the business is exit-ready, we take it to market on your terms. Because we prepared it, we broker it from the inside rather than from a standing start.

— What you getHover or tap to explore

01 · Confidential approach

No listing. No sign over the door.

We never advertise a business. We hold a live, curated book of qualified buyers and approach the right handful directly, on a no-names basis, widening the circle only once interest is real. Your staff, customers, suppliers and competitors learn nothing until you decide they should.

A curated, qualified buyer bookLive relationships with trade buyers, investors and funded individuals, so the approach begins with people who can complete, not a mailshot to the market.
Approached on a no-names basisBuyers learn the shape of the opportunity before they learn the name, so the business is never exposed to anyone merely curious.
Discretion held until you chooseNothing is listed and nothing leaks. The market hears about the sale once it is done, not while it is happening.
Only buyers who can completeWe qualify funding and intent before a conversation goes anywhere, so your time is spent only with parties who can finish what they start.

02 · Memorandum & data room

Built on evidence, not gloss.

The information memorandum tells the true story of how the company makes money and why it will keep doing so, in the language buyers and their advisers actually read. It is built on the evidence preparation produced, not marketing a diligence team will quietly unpick. The data room is complete and ordered before a buyer ever asks.

A buyer-ready memorandumA document that answers the hard questions before they are asked, written for the people who will price the deal rather than to flatter the seller.
A complete, pre-assembled data roomContracts, accounts, systems and records indexed and ready, so diligence moves at pace instead of stalling on a missing piece of paper.
Every claim backed by evidenceNothing in the story rests on trust alone. Each strength is something the buyer's advisers can verify, which is exactly what holds the price.
Diligence that moves, not stallsBecause the answers are ready before the questions, the deal keeps its momentum through the period when most deals quietly lose theirs.

03 · Diligence to completion

We hold the deal together.

Most deals die in the long middle, between an agreed price and a signed contract. We run the buyer's questions, coordinate the lawyers and accountants on both sides, and hold the timetable. We negotiate structure, earn-outs and warranties to protect what you actually keep, then carry the deal to a clean completion and a confident handover.

Diligence run and chasedWe manage the buyer's requests and hold every adviser to the timetable, so the process never drifts into the silence where deals fall apart.
Structure, earn-outs and warrantiesWe negotiate the terms behind the headline price, because what you keep after tax and conditions matters more than the number on the front page.
Momentum held through the middleWe carry the energy of the deal through the slow, technical phase that quietly kills more transactions than price ever does.
A clean completion and handoverWe see the deal through signing and into a handover that protects your reputation and any value still tied to an earn-out.

Sides we ever represent

Seller-side only. We never take a fee from the buyer, so there is no quiet conflict sitting across the table from you.

Stages, one firm throughout

Approach, memorandum, data room, diligence, negotiation and completion, run by the same team with no handoffs and no gaps for the deal to fall through.

Commission taken from a buyer

Our reward is success-based and tied to the price you achieve, never to a second fee paid quietly by the other side.

Most businesses are sold the way they are listed: put on a marketplace and negotiated from the back foot once interest appears. There is no rehearsal and no second attempt at a first impression. We run it the other way: quietly, from a position of strength, to a small number of buyers who can genuinely complete.

"We are paid to make the number bigger. Our engagement is seller-side and success-based, tied to the value we create. When you do well, we do well."
