Sell Your Company Directly to Us
Selling a company can involve brokers, public listings, multiple buyer enquiries and a lengthy negotiation process. Our approach is designed for owners who want a clear and confidential first conversation with a potential direct buyer.
You can submit your company details for a free initial valuation. We will review the information, consider whether your company fits our acquisition criteria and explain the possible routes forward.
We do not promise that every company will be acquired, and a free valuation is not a binding offer. Any potential transaction remains subject to further assessment, due diligence, legal documentation and agreed terms.
Why Sell Your Company to Us?
A simpler way to explore your exit
Every company owner has different reasons for considering a sale. You may be planning retirement, looking for a new opportunity, releasing value from your company or simply deciding that the time is right to move on.
A direct discussion can help you understand your options before you commit to a broker, public listing or formal sale process.
Free Company Valuation
Find out what your company could be worth
A valuation is usually an important first step when you are considering how to sell a company in the UK. It helps you understand the factors that may influence buyer interest and gives you a more informed basis for discussing a potential sale.
Our free initial valuation is based on the information you provide. Depending on your company, this may include:
- Revenue and recent financial performance
- Profitability and cash flow
- Recurring or contracted income
- Customer concentration
- Industry and market position
- Assets and intellectual property
- Debts and other liabilities
- Growth opportunities
- Operational dependence on the owner
- The company's future potential
The initial valuation is indicative and does not constitute a formal offer, professional audit or regulated financial advice. A more detailed assessment may be required before any offer or transaction can be considered.
What do I need for a valuation?
To provide a useful initial indication, we may ask for information such as:
- Company registration details
- Trading history
- Recent accounts or management figures
- Turnover and profit information
- Details of assets and liabilities
- Your preferred sale timeframe
- Information about the owners' involvement
- Any circumstances that may affect the sale
You do not need to prepare a lengthy sales document before making an initial enquiry. We will explain what is needed at each stage.
Who We May Acquire
Is your company suitable?
We review each enquiry individually. Suitability depends on our current acquisition strategy, the company's financial and operational position, its sector, and whether there is a reasonable basis for further discussion.
We may consider:
- Established UK limited companies
- Owner-managed businesses
- Profitable or commercially viable companies
- Service-based businesses
- Digital and online businesses
- E-commerce companies
- Companies with recurring revenue
- Businesses with transferable customers or intellectual property
- Companies with a clear opportunity for future growth
We may not be suitable for every company. For example, some companies may be outside our target sector, too early-stage, heavily dependent on one customer or affected by unresolved legal, financial or operational issues.
The most accurate way to find out is to submit your details for an initial review.
Types of Companies We Consider
You can sell various types of companies to us, including:
Limited companies
UK-registered private limited companies (Ltd).
Older companies
Established businesses with a trading history.
Aged companies
Companies that have been registered for several years.
Dormant or non-trading companies
Where there is a clear reason for acquisition.
Service-based and digital businesses
Including online and e-commerce companies.
We review each company individually based on its structure, history, financial position and potential fit with our acquisition criteria.
How Our Process Works
Selling your company to us
Submit your details
Complete the enquiry form with basic information about your company and your objectives. You do not need to disclose every sensitive detail at this stage.
Receive an initial review
Our team reviews the information to understand your company, sector, financial position and potential fit with our acquisition criteria.
Discuss your objectives
We may contact you to understand why you are considering a sale, your preferred timing and whether you want to remain involved after completion.
Receive an initial valuation
Where sufficient information is available, we provide an indicative view of potential value or explain what further information is required.
Consider potential terms
If there is a suitable basis for discussion, we explain the possible next steps, transaction structure and information required for due diligence.
Complete due diligence
Further checks may cover financial records, tax, contracts, staff, customers, assets, intellectual property, liabilities and legal matters.
Agree the transaction
If both parties wish to proceed, the final terms are documented through appropriate legal agreements.
Complete the sale and handover
The completion process and any handover arrangements depend on the agreed transaction structure. Professional legal and tax advice may be appropriate.
What Can Affect Your Valuation?
Factors buyers consider
There is no single formula that applies to every company. The potential value of a company may be influenced by:
- Sustainable profit rather than turnover alone
- Quality and reliability of financial records
- Recurring revenue and customer retention
- Growth rate and future prospects
- Strength of the management team
- Dependence on the current owner
- Market competition
- Intellectual property and brand value
- Customer and supplier contracts
- Outstanding debt or legal claims
- Working capital requirements
- Industry-specific risks
A company with strong revenue but weak cash flow may be assessed differently from a smaller company with stable recurring profit. Likewise, a company with valuable intellectual property, strong customer retention or significant growth potential may require a more detailed assessment.
The free valuation is designed to help you start the conversation, not to replace formal due diligence or professional advice.
What May Be Included in the Sale?
Shares, assets and liabilities
A company sale can be structured in different ways. Depending on the circumstances, the transaction may involve the transfer of company shares, selected assets or another agreed structure.
The discussion may cover:
- Shares in the company
- Trading name and goodwill
- Website, domain and digital assets
- Intellectual property
- Equipment and stock
- Customer and supplier contracts
- Employees and operational arrangements
- Loans, debts and other liabilities
- Premises or lease arrangements
- Transition and handover support
The final structure should be reviewed by appropriate legal and tax advisers. A company's assets and liabilities, shareholder rights, existing agreements and regulatory position can all affect how a sale is completed.
Preparing Your Company for Sale
How to improve your readiness
Before a potential sale, consider organising:
- Recent accounts and management information
- Revenue and profit records
- Customer and supplier contracts
- Details of employees and key personnel
- Asset and equipment information
- Intellectual property ownership
- Details of loans and liabilities
- Tax and VAT records
- Insurance information
- Ongoing disputes or legal matters
- Company ownership and shareholder information
- Current business plans and forecasts
It is also useful to identify any issues that a buyer may need to understand. Early transparency can reduce delays, although sensitive documents should only be shared through an appropriate process and, where relevant, after confidentiality arrangements are in place.
Buying Your Company Directly
Why owners speak to us
Our service is designed for company owners who want to explore whether a direct sale may be possible. We start with an initial conversation rather than asking you to publicly advertise your company.
You can tell us about your objectives, preferred timeframe and the type of outcome you are seeking. We will then explain whether your company appears to fit our current requirements and what information we would need to review it further.
There is no obligation to proceed after the initial enquiry. Any proposed acquisition remains subject to commercial approval, due diligence, legal documentation and completion of agreed conditions.
