Sell a Business
Sell Your Business in the UK
Direct to a Private Investor
Sell directly to a private investor or list on the platform. Either way, no brokers.
Direct Acquisition
Sell Directly to a Private Buyer
No agents, no brokers. Just a direct conversation about your business.
I buy UK businesses in SaaS, accounting, HVAC, and professional services. £1M+ turnover, £200K+ net profit. The whole process is confidential. My priority is a clean handover that works for both sides.

Confidential Process
Nothing you share leaves our conversations.
No Brokers
You talk to me directly. No intermediaries.
Smooth Transition
The handover is planned properly so nothing falls through the cracks.
Legacy Preservation
I want to grow the business, not tear up what you built.
Acquisition Criteria
What I'm Looking For
I buy profitable UK businesses that have been running for a while.
Industry Focus
SaaS, accounting, HVAC, professional services, manufacturing. I like businesses with recurring revenue.
Annual Turnover
£1M+ annual revenue, ideally growing steadily.
Net Profit
£200K+ net profit. Margins matter.
Operating History
5+ years in business with real, returning customers.
No Middlemen
Why Sell Without a Broker?
Brokers take a cut and sit between you and the buyer. See our NewOwner vs UK business brokers comparison for a worked £500k example of what you'd save by selling direct.
Keep the full sale price
Brokers take 5-10%. On a £2M sale, that's £100K-£200K gone. Sell directly and keep it.
You run the process
Your financials, your timeline. No broker pushing for a quick close so they can collect.
Talk directly, move faster
No middleman passing messages. You talk to the buyer, get answers straight away, and move when you're ready.
Fair Valuation
How Is Your Business Valued?
No two businesses are the same, so the valuation isn't a formula. Read our UK business valuation guide to understand EBITDA multiples, asset checks and what really drives your number.
Initial Review
Tell me your industry, annual turnover, and net profit. That's enough to see whether there's a potential fit.
Financial Analysis
If there's interest on both sides, I dig into normalised EBITDA, revenue trends, customer mix, and recurring income.
Offer & Discussion
You get a valuation with the reasoning behind it. No obligation. If the number doesn't work for you, no hard feelings.
Your Options
