Start a conversation, on your terms.
The Secure Area is where owners talk to us privately about a possible sale. Ask what your business, your assets or your book could be worth, and share only what you are ready to share. You can walk away at any point.
You talk to our team directly. No middlemen, consultants or intermediaries, so communication is clearer and the feedback is honest.
Nothing here commits you to selling, or to selling to us.
Say the word and we close it down and delete everything you shared.
Use a company name or none at all. We speak to nobody but you.
Get an immediate indicative valuation.
This is the tool you just tried to use. Register, sign the mutual NDA and it unlocks. Answer the questions about your business and your book and your indicative value range appears on screen straight away. No waiting, no call, no cost.
- Your range on screen instantly
- About three minutes to complete
- Mutual NDA, so what you tell us stays between us
- No obligation, and you can stop at any point
New here, and just having a look?
Most people who register are a long way from selling. They want a number, or an idea of how a sale would work. You can do both before you speak to us.
- Find out what your business is worth
Answer a few questions and, once the mutual NDA is signed, see an indicative value range straight away.
- Take our due diligence questionnaire
The same one we use at the start of every deal. Keep it whether or not you sell.
- See how the process runs
Each stage is set out, so you know what happens next before you agree to anything.
- Ask us a question
Message the acquisitions team without naming your business.
The due diligence questionnaire opens once the mutual NDA is signed, which takes a couple of minutes inside the Secure Area.
Register for access
All you need is an email address. You do not have to tell us the name of your business to start.
Use your work Google account. It creates your Secure Area access the first time you use it.
Our initial due diligence questionnaire, the same one we use at the start of every deal, opens as soon as the mutual NDA is signed. You can then complete it online or download it, and it is yours to keep.
Everything you upload is private to your account and our acquisitions team. Nothing is shared with your customers, staff or suppliers.
Sign in and pick up where you left off.
Once a conversation becomes a deal, everything sits in one secure place, so documents are not scattered across email chains and you always know where things stand.
Stage one: the mutual NDA
Sign the NDA in a couple of minutes. Nothing else in the Secure Area opens until it is in place.
Stage two: a short call
Once the NDA is signed you can book a call with our acquisitions team. We open the next stage after we have spoken.
Then, step by step
Business questions, documents, heads of terms and exclusivity are each opened by our team as your deal moves on, so you are never asked for more than you need to give.
Message the team
Ask a question at any stage and get a reply from our acquisitions team, usually the same working day.
