Why the detail on this page is deliberately limited
This is a confidential sale. Publishing a combination of location, customer names, headcount and financial detail would allow the business to be identified by its staff, customers, suppliers or competitors, which would damage the business and the sale process. The description above is therefore written at the level of detail the seller has approved for publication. Further information is released in stages, under a non-disclosure agreement, to buyers who have been qualified.
The type of acquirer this is likely to suit
Buyers who typically engage with opportunities of this description include trade acquirers in the same or an adjacent activity, private-equity-backed platforms pursuing a stated buy-and-build strategy, and experienced individual acquirers with funding already arranged. We ask every enquirer to explain their rationale and funding position at the outset because that is what determines whether information can responsibly be released.
Enquiry, qualification and information release
Enquiries are handled in a set order. You register an interest through the enquiry form on this page or by email to info@exits.co.uk, stating who you are, the acquisition vehicle you would use and why this opportunity fits your plans. We then qualify the enquiry, and where it is credible we ask for a signed non-disclosure agreement before anything further is shared. Only after that do we discuss the release of further information, and only to the extent the party controlling the information has authorised. Every stage of the process is conducted in confidence, and no information about an enquirer is passed on without their agreement.
What is not disclosed at this stage
Identity, precise location, customer names, employee numbers, trading results, owner circumstances and price expectations are not published and are not disclosed on an unqualified enquiry. Nothing on this page should be treated as a representation about any of them.
