Real Clients. Real Exits - M&A Transactions Testimonials
Seeing Your Business Through an Acquirer's Eyes
"You took all our data and looked at it from the acquirer's perspective. Whereas I saw it from my tunnel vision, you saw it completely differently. Nine times out of ten, the acquirer's view was very different from ours."
"For smaller organisations looking to exit, a boutique partner is ideal rather than a large corporate. There are fewer obstacles, and you get much better value for money."
Maurice Buckley, CEO & Co-Founder of The HireLab based in Dublin and London
There Are Trip Wires Everywhere - The Complexity Behind Every Business Sale
"Selling a business is complex. There are trip wires everywhere if you don't know what you're doing. You need an expert."
Stephan Buys, Founder and Former Partner in NSIS Systems LLP based in central London.
Why Who You Choose Matters
"It wasn't just about getting the deal—it was about getting the right type of deal for a long-term relationship with the new acquirer."
"It wasn't just about getting the deal—it was about getting the right type of deal for a long-term relationship with the new acquirer."

The Valuation Was Spot On
"Zach was always there, holding our hands all the way through. For any query, anything that came up — what Zach advised turned out to be correct."
"He came up with a valuation that would be the price we'd get — which is actually what happened. From the very first buyer, we got the asking price."
David Masters, Former Owner, David Masters Limited
In Their Own Words - Valuation and Value Builder Service
Learning What the Business Is Really Worth
"The valuation is a number, but what I really liked was learning about the history of my own business — insights into how we'd been running finances, what we could do in the future. There were a lot of lessons."
“The service went way beyond what I expected."
Hutton Henry, Founder, Beyond M&A
Building a Business Worth Buying
"It's not just about coaching and improving the business — it's about how your business will be viewed externally."
"Our accountant said: 'You're doing just over a million in turnover, but you're already talking like a £10 million business. The level of sophistication is blowing me away.'"
Andrew Smart, Partnerships Director, VST Venues
Building With Value in Mind
"Having an objective third party — you can't put a price on something like that. The only way to get to the right answer is by having someone who is objective, looks at things differently, and takes emotion out of the decision."
"The Value Builder system gives us confidence that we will have done everything we possibly can to make any eventual sale as smooth as possible."
Louise Hodson, Managing Director, VST Venues
Finding Your North Star
"You don't know what you don't know. It wasn't until that point that I realised there's so much more I need to be thinking about than what I currently am doing."
"Every business owner has a never-ending to-do list. This puts everything in order — so you can work through challenges knowing it's actually leading to the right place, rather than just guessing."
Rizwan, Founder, Advance Marketing Agency.
