Most business owners who decide to sell have no idea what their business is actually worth — or what a buyer is really looking for. Find out exactly where you stand before you go to market.
See the Assessment OptionsBefore you approach a broker, list your business for sale, or have that first conversation with a potential buyer, it's worth knowing exactly where you stand.
We've spent years buying SME businesses. We know what makes a deal work and what kills it before it gets started. We've built that knowledge into a plain-English report that tells you what your business is actually worth to a buyer right now — and what you can do to increase that figure before you sell.
This isn't a sales pitch for you to sell your business to us. It's honest advice. If the numbers don't support a sale right now, we'll tell you. If there are two or three things that would add significantly to your sale price, we'll tell you exactly what they are.
A plain-English written report — typically 10 to 14 pages — covering all of the following.
Not the number you hope for, and not a broker's inflated listing figure. A genuine working valuation range based on how buyers actually calculate it — including the adjusted profit figure that most owners have never seen.
The things you may be underestimating — and that a good buyer will pay more for. Long trading history, customer retention, contracted revenue, a management team in place. Named specifically, not in generalities.
The things that will reduce your price, delay your sale, or put buyers off entirely. Named clearly, with a practical step to address each one. No softening — if something is a problem, we say so.
Exactly what to sort out before you go to market, in order of priority. Accounts, contracts, employment agreements, assets, operations. A working checklist you can act on immediately.
If you want to sell to a buyer who doesn't need a bank — and there are more of them than you might think — here's precisely what they'll ask for and why. Knowing this in advance puts you in a much stronger position.
Three to five specific, prioritised actions for the next 90 days. Tailored to your business, not a generic list. So you leave the report knowing exactly what to do first.
Both include the full written assessment. The difference is whether you want to talk it through with Bob directly.

Get Started — £997This is not a sales pitch for you to sell your business to us. We might end up being interested — some clients do go on to explore that conversation. But that's entirely separate from this service, and entirely your choice.
We understand what it takes to build something. We're not here to tell you what you want to hear. We're here to tell you what you need to know — so that when you do decide to sell, you go in with your eyes open.
If your business is worth more than you think, we'll tell you. If there's a problem that needs fixing first, we'll name it plainly and tell you how to address it. That's the service.
Contact us to request the client questionnaire. We'll send it straight back to you. Everything is treated in strict confidence — we don't share your information with anyone.
