Specialist Security 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 security business owners choose us.

Sector Expertise

We work exclusively with security businesses. We understand SIA licensing and the Approved Contractor Scheme, NSI Gold and SSAIB accreditation, BS 7858 staff vetting, recurring monitoring revenue, manned guarding versus electronic systems, and the TUPE-stable contracts buyers look for. This knowledge means we position your business correctly and attract the right buyers.

Active Buyer Register

We maintain a pre-qualified register of buyers actively seeking security business acquisitions: private equity platforms, national security groups, regional trade buyers, and qualified individuals. We do not advertise your business on public listing sites.

Free Initial Consultation

The initial consultation is free and completely confidential. The buyer pays our fee, not you, through a competitive fee structure with all terms set out in writing. There are no upfront costs to the seller, so 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.

Simon Read, Managing Director

Simon Read

Simon works directly with every client. There is no sales team, no junior analysts running your deal. When you call, you speak to the person who understands your industry, has access to the buyer network, and will manage your sale from first conversation to completion.

DUE DILIGENCE

Questions to ask any broker.

1 Do you specialise in my sector, or do you sell all types of businesses?
2 How well do you know the buyers active in the security sector, and how many are looking right now?
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.
