At Knightsbridge, we provide the most comprehensive ‘buyer reach’ possible to maximise the level of acquirer interest for your business. With a combination of superior marketing techniques and expert buyer identification practices, we will explore every possible avenue in our search for your perfect ‘best fit’ acquirer.
Registered Buyers
We have built a comprehensive and industry-leading buyer database of over 100,000 potential acquirers. Our database contains detailed acquisition profiles from private buyers through to multinational PLCs. We can expose your opportunity to buyers who we know are acquisitive, who have acquired previously and are typically pre-vetted from both a confidential and financial perspective.
All UK Buyers
Through an in-depth and comprehensive research process, we will identify suitable trade, competitive, complementary, strategic and synergistic buyers that we believe will have an appetite to consider your acquisition. We have the resources to access detailed information on over 7 million companies and historic transactions – from the UK alone.
Institutional Buyers
Institutional buyers would typically be defined as Private Equity, Venture Capitalists and investment companies. These types of buyers often invest into growth businesses or those complementary to other companies already within their portfolio.
Strategy
By working with you to identify competitors, customers and suppliers, we can include or ignore specific companies. Combining your significant industry knowledge with our extensive research capabilities, we will ensure to produce the most comprehensive buyer target list.
We utilise up to 50 online buyer platforms which attract UK, European and Global acquirers, investors and advisers. If appropriate, we can also place generic details of your opportunity on a range of specialist company sale web portals, to generate interest whilst maintaining confidentiality.
Internally, we maintain a database of over 10,000 professional contacts that are actively representing clients who are acquisitive within the market. These include corporate financiers, accountants, lawyers and buy-side advisers. We maintain regular communication with these contacts, informing them of opportunities that we currently represent.
