The questions you should ask any broker, and why our answers matter.
Reads M&A Advisory has over a decade of business sales experience across finance, accountancy, private equity and family office markets. Many of those buyers have been asking specifically for facilities management opportunities. We are upfront that FM is a new dedicated focus for us; what we bring is a substantial buyer network already seeking FM acquisitions, over a decade of business sales process expertise, and access to consultants and acquisition specialists who understand the sector.
We maintain a pre-qualified register of buyers actively seeking FM acquisitions: PE-backed multi-service FM platforms, national facilities management groups, regional trade buyers consolidating their contract base, and qualified operators seeking IWFM-credentialled businesses with multi-year contract books and strong TUPE records. We do not advertise your business on public listing sites.
Our competitive fee structure is agreed in writing before any commitment. There are no hidden costs, no upfront retainers, and no marketing charges. We earn our fee when you complete a successful sale. Our interests are fully aligned with yours.
We do not find you one buyer and hope for the best. We create a structured process that generates multiple interested parties. Competition between buyers is the single most effective way to maximise your sale price.
Your staff, clients, and competitors will not know you are considering a sale. We use anonymised teasers, staged information disclosure, and NDAs at every stage. Confidentiality is not a feature of our service. It is the foundation.
We tell you exactly what happens at each stage, what documents you will need, how long each phase takes, and what to expect. No surprises, no ambiguity, no pressure.
Direct conversation with a Facilities Management Senior Specialist, not a sales team. Simon works personally with every client from first conversation to completion. When you call, you speak to the person who has access to the buyer network and will manage your sale from start to finish.
We are happy to answer every one of these questions in detail. If a broker cannot, or will not, that tells you something.
No obligation, no pressure. Tell us about your business and we will be in touch within 24 hours.
We have received your enquiry and will be in contact within 24 hours. Everything you have shared is treated in the strictest confidence.
