How do you maintain confidentiality during the sale process?

Confidentiality is the foundation of our process, not a feature. We use anonymised teasers when approaching buyers, staged information disclosure, and NDAs at every stage. Your staff, clients, and competitors will not know you are considering a sale unless you choose to tell them.

Why should I choose a specialist Pest Control broker over a generalist?

A generalist broker sells businesses across every sector and is unlikely to understand BPCA membership, CEPA certification, NPTA membership, the commercial contract transition, or which PE platforms are actively acquiring pest control businesses. Sector expertise means we position your business correctly and attract the right buyers, which directly affects the price you achieve.

How many buyers can you generate for my pest control business?

We keep a register of pre-qualified buyers, including PE-backed platforms, national pest control groups, regional trade buyers, and qualified individuals. Our structured process is designed to put your business in front of several of them at once.

What makes us different.

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

Six reasons to work with us.

Sector Expertise

Our Pest Control division works only with pest control businesses. We understand BPCA membership, CEPA certification, NPTA membership, the commercial contract transition, commercial vs domestic contract values, fleet management, and technician recruitment challenges. This knowledge means we position your business correctly and attract the right buyers.

Active Buyer Register

We keep a register of pre-qualified buyers looking at acquisitions: PE-backed platforms (groups owned by private equity investors), national pest control groups, regional firms in the trade, and qualified individuals. We do not advertise your business on public listing sites.

Free Initial Consultation

Your first conversation with us is free. If you then ask us to sell your business, the fee for that work is agreed in writing before we start.

Competitive Tension

We do not find you one buyer and hope for the best. We create a structured process that generates multiple interested parties.

Complete Confidentiality

Your staff, clients, and competitors will not know you are considering a sale. We use anonymised teasers (short summaries that do not name the business) and release information in stages. Buyers sign NDAs, confidentiality agreements, before each 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 and no ambiguity.

Simon Read

Simon works with every seller through to completion. Ask for Simon. Your first conversation can be with Simon or Emily, and decisions on the sale are made with Simon. He brings access to the buyer network, many years of business sales process expertise, and the knowledge to position your business accurately to the right acquirers.

Simon still runs every sale himself. Around him is a team who help owners get ready in the years before a sale: what each of them does, and when.

Questions to ask any broker.

1 Do you specialise in my sector, or do you sell all types of businesses?

2 Do you have an active buyer register with buyers specifically asking for pest control businesses?

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.
