What is this listing?

This transaction has completed. It is published as a record of completed work, not as an available opportunity.

Completed sale

EXITS.co.uk are delighted to announce the sale of a Security System Installation & Maintenance Services business, located in the UK. Established for over 30 years, the business has organically grown. The business has evolved from purely offering locks, safes and alarms to offering a wide range of security solutions to clients, including homeowners, businesses and public sector companies.

What is confirmed, and what is not

This record confirms only that the sale of a business of the description above completed and that EXITS.co.uk was involved in the introduction. Transaction value, the multiple achieved, the identity of the buyer, the seller's rationale beyond anything stated above, the deal timetable and any obstacles encountered are not published. Where those facts are not stated, they have not been approved for publication, and a short factual record is preferred to an embellished case study.

Why businesses of this type attract acquirers

Acquirers consistently pay attention to the same things: a durable customer base, revenue that repeats rather than being won afresh each year, a team that can operate without the owner, and clean, evidenced financial records. Those characteristics are what make a business straightforward to underwrite, and they are usually built over a period of years rather than assembled shortly before a sale.

If you are considering a similar sale

Owners in a comparable position usually start with two questions: what a buyer would actually pay attention to, and who the credible acquirers are. Both can be answered confidentially and without commitment. A first conversation covers your objectives, the shape of the business and whether a sale, a partial sale or a longer preparation period is the sensible route. Nothing is marketed and no approach is made to any buyer without your written instruction.
