From first conversation to agreement
How a practice or client list sale progresses
- 1
Confidential discussion
We learn about the practice, client base, location, timing and the outcome you would prefer.
- 2
Position the opportunity
We agree an anonymised summary and discuss valuation, service level, potential deal structures and information preparation.
- 3
Identify suitable buyers
We promote the opportunity to relevant registered buyers without revealing your identity.
- 4
Controlled disclosure and meetings
Interested parties sign confidentiality terms. Further information and identity are only released with your express consent.
- 5
Offers and transaction support
We help the parties communicate, compare proposals, consider structures and maintain momentum towards an agreed deal.
Confidentiality comes first
Your practice is not identified without your consent
Initial marketing is anonymised. Buyers and sellers sign non-disclosure terms, and a seller’s identity or detailed information is only released to a prospective buyer with express permission.
- Anonymous initial listing
- Confidentiality undertakings
- Consent before detailed disclosure
- Controlled buyer introductions
Service options and fees
Choose the level of support your transaction needs
A no-fee seller introduction service is available. Enhanced seller packages can add valuation work, exit planning, wider marketing, negotiation assistance and transaction support.
Buying parties contract to pay an agreed success fee if a transaction completes. The applicable terms are explained before any introduction or work begins.
