Part of the Reads Advice Partners network, we focus exclusively on pest management, prevention, and wildlife control businesses.
Reads M&A Advisory is a credible business brokerage with over a decade of experience selling businesses across finance, accountancy, private equity, and family office markets. We have worked with over 17,000 accountancy firms and built strong relationships with private equity investors, business investors, and family offices actively seeking acquisition opportunities.
Many of those buyers have been asking us specifically for pest control businesses. That demand is the reason we have launched a dedicated specialist service for pest control sales. We are upfront that this is a new dedicated focus for us: we have not sold pest control businesses before. What we bring is a substantial buyer network already asking for pest control opportunities, over a decade of business sales process expertise, and access to consultants, finance directors, and acquisition specialists who help prepare your business for sale.
We know what BPCA membership signals to a buyer. We understand why route density matters, why recurring commercial contract revenue transforms a valuation, and why a contract book with low customer concentration sells faster and for more. We bring that knowledge to every conversation, alongside a buyer network that is already active and interested.
If you are exploring a sale, you will deal directly with our Pest Control Senior Specialist. Not a sales team. Not a call centre. A direct conversation with someone who will personally see your sale through.
Simon Read leads our Pest Control division, working directly with every seller from the first conversation through to completion. There is no sales team. There are no junior analysts running your deal. When you call, you speak to the person who has access to the buyer network and will manage your sale personally.
Simon brings over a decade of business sales process expertise and a buyer network that includes private equity investors, family offices, and trade acquirers who have been asking us for pest control businesses. He understands what matters in this sector: BPCA membership and what it signals to acquirers, the difference between a contract book of 300 recurring commercial accounts and a residential callout operation, why route density is the hidden multiplier buyers focus on, and how owner dependency affects the multiple you can achieve.
This direct, personal approach means nothing is lost in translation. Your business is positioned accurately, your concerns are heard by the person making decisions, and you always know exactly where you stand in the process.
Simon Read has spent over a decade advising business owners on their exit strategies across finance, accountancy, and professional services. He leads our dedicated Pest Control division, drawing on a buyer network built through years of relationship development across private equity, family offices, and trade acquirers who are actively building in the pest control sector.
We are honest about where we are: this is a new dedicated focus for Reads M&A Advisory. We have not sold pest control businesses before. What Simon brings is a substantial buyer network already asking for pest control opportunities, a rigorous sale process refined over a decade, and the sector knowledge to position your route book, contract base, and BPCA accreditation accurately to the right buyers.
Every conversation starts with understanding what matters most to you: the price, the legacy, the staff, the timing, or simply getting out with certainty. Nothing is decided until you are ready.
