Specialist Facilities Management Business Brokers, United Kingdom
WHY CHOOSE US

What makes us different.

The questions you should ask any broker, and why our answers matter.

OUR ADVANTAGES

Six reasons facilities management owners choose us.

A Buyer Network Already Asking for FM

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.

Active Buyer Register

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.

Competitive Fee Structure

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.

Competitive Tension

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.

Complete Confidentiality

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.

Process Clarity

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.

DUE DILIGENCE

Questions to ask any broker.

1 Do you specialise in my sector, or do you sell all types of businesses?
2 How many facilities management businesses have you sold in the past 12 months?
3 Will my business be advertised on public listing sites?
4 Do you charge any upfront fees, retainers, or marketing costs?
5 How many interested buyers can you typically generate for a business like mine?
6 Who will manage my sale day to day? Will I deal with a senior person or a junior?
7 What is your average time to completion?
8 Can you explain exactly how you maintain confidentiality at each stage?

We are happy to answer every one of these questions in detail. If a broker cannot, or will not, that tells you something.
