Insights
Headshot of Steve Dorkings - Corporate Director at KBS Corporate

If you are looking to sell or buy a business we would absolutely recommend them.

Justin Williams

FireUS Ltd

“We employed KBS to sell our business FireUs Ltd last year. We has researched into this and they stood out as the best. We were so glad that we picked them whilst it was a very in depth process selling our business, but they supported us and made the experience much easier. The main people that stood out for us with the professionalism and approach were Guy Haynes and Daniel Greenfield. If you are looking to sell or buy a business we would absolutely recommend them.”

“Would definitely recommend them.”

Katherine Prigmore

Business Development Director of Prigmore Haulage

“We used KBS to help with our partial sale! They helped promote us and worked with us the whole way through. The true value for their work came after the offer and Adam worked smoothly with us and could hear that he had our best interest at heart! Would definitely recommend them.”

“From start too finish their service was first class.”

Rodney Greer

Director of Photostatic Anglia

“We initially approached KBS and three other companies to handle the sale of our company. We choose KBS as they were very professional, knowledgeable and responded to all our queries in a timely manner. From start too finish their service was first class. Thank you KBS”

“I could not have completed this without the professionalism and personal interest that I have been afforded”

Simone Lawless

Director of Ibit Solutions

“My husband engaged with KBS in 2020 for the sale of our business. I completed a successful sale in October 2023. During the process my husband passed away and so the process became more complicated than I could have imagined. Luke Rae has been outstanding in his patience, communication and commitment to the sale of our business. I could not have completed this without the professionalism and personal interest that I have been afforded. Thank you Luke and the team.”

“The range of buyers that KBS introduced us to were of a high quality.”

Eric Luckwell

Technical Director of Datalink Electronics

“The range of buyers that KBS introduced us to were of a high quality. Throughout the sales process the shareholders were very pleased with the advice and help given to reach a good conclusion in the sale. Thank you KBS and the staff we worked with.”
