We typically define institutional buyers as Private Equity, Venture Capitalists and investment companies. These types of buyers often invest into growing businesses or those already within their portfolio.

Our research team can identify prospective buyers from overseas, using expert online strategies and Global ‘Companies House’ style resources to put you in touch with over 90 million prospective buyers.

We also work with our alliance network KBS Global, enabling us to reach international buyers as well as those nearer to home. This global coverage allows us to facilitate the delivery of local and cultural support, while handling cross-border transactions with ease.

Through our years of leading the industry, KBS Corporate has developed a comprehensive buyer database with over 40,000 potential buyers.

Our exclusive database contains detailed acquisition profiles as well as multi-national PLCs, allowing us to match opportunities with trusted buyers who we know are either acquisitive or have previous experience acquiring a business. The buyers are pre-vetted from both a confidential and financial perspective to ensure the sale of your business is as secure as possible.

We will implement an online strategy to capture “on market” buyers who are actively seeking appropriate acquisition opportunities through these channels. We also utilise over 50 internet based Merger & Acquisition platforms and forums which attract UK, European and Global buyers and advisors.

KBS Corporate is in constant communication with a large number of Management Buy In (MBI) candidates, allowing us to get in touch with experienced professionals and executives from all business sectors who can often access external finances to fund a purchase.

These MBI candidates can bring significant knowledge to companies that do not have appropriate succession plans in place or, indeed, will often come in alongside an existing management team to complete an acquisition.

We maintain a database of over 10,000 professional contacts that are actively representing clients who are acquisitive within the M&A market. These include: Corporate Financiers; Accountants; Lawyers; and Buy Side Advisors. We regularly communicate with these contacts, detailing the opportunities that we currently represent.

From the outset, we will draw on your sector knowledge and work with you to identify competitors, customers and suppliers to compliment the list of prospects compiled by our research team. We can include, or discount, specific companies subject to these discussions and your confidentiality requirements.

This relationship is an extremely valuable part of our approach and utilises your significant industry experience and contacts, allowing you to have input into the process, should you wish.
