Owners
You want to step back, or you have been told the business is too dependent on you to sell. We help you define the role, find the person and structure the arrangement, including buy-in and earn-in options.
Owner enquiry →SUCCESSION
If the business can't run without you, it can't be sold without you.
Owner dependency is the most common reason a good business fails to sell, or sells for less with a long earn-out. We help owners put the right person in place, help acquirers find leadership for the businesses they buy, and keep a confidential register of experienced operators who want to run one.

Buyers pay for what stays when you leave.
WHY IT MATTERS
A buyer is acquiring the future cash flows of the business, and they will discount every part of it that depends on you personally: customer relationships, pricing, hiring, quoting. Putting a capable second-in-command or successor managing director in place a year or two before a sale is often worth more than any other single preparation step.
Acquirers
You are buying a business whose founder is leaving. We find the managing director or operational lead to run it after completion.
Acquirer enquiry →Leaders
You have run a trades, compliance or services business, or a large part of one, and want to lead, buy into or take over another. Join the register.
Join the register →HOW THE REGISTER WORKS
It is a register, not a vacancy
Joining means we may contact you about future succession, buy-in and post-acquisition leadership roles. It does not mean a role exists today.
Your details stay with us
We never share your name with a company without your agreement for that specific role. You can ask us to delete your details at any time.
The hiring company pays
Candidates never pay a fee. Searches are retained by the owner or acquirer.
