I was happy, it was an easy process and KBS handled it well,

Tim Hogarth
Founder of Hogarth Antiques Ltd
“I was happy, it was an easy process and KBS handled it well. I would recommend KBS Corporate to anyone who wants to explore a business sale and is seeking sound advice.”
KBS Corporate has been a fantastic partner for us.
Within six months of the initial teaser, the deal completed and we are all thrilled with the outcome.

Ed Johnson
CEO of PushFar
“KBS Corporate has been a fantastic partner for us. From initial research through to deal completion, George Barnes (Associate Corporate Director), Aaron (McWilliams, Senior Research Analyst) and the entire team were dedicated, hard-working, thoughtful, considerate and found several parties interested in our business.
“Within six months of the initial teaser, the deal completed and we are all thrilled with the outcome.”
“I’d thoroughly recommend them to any entrepreneur looking to raise investment or sell a business.”

Chris Pauling
CEO of Proper Cornish
“Mark Lucas (Managing Director), George Jackson (Associate Director) and their team were simply brilliant to work with. They were an exceptional support through every stage of the sale and made our job easy.
“They clearly understood our business and the market, which was reflected in the expertly written and designed marketing materials and their ability to generate lots of interest from potential buyers.
“They were on the front foot throughout and were instrumental in finding the best price and home for our business and getting the deal done.

I cannot recommend KBS Corporate highly enough
Oliver’s attention to detail and attentiveness to each deal he is involved in is remarkable.

Jai Singh
Senior Legal Counsel
Alston Asquith
“I have worked on a number of transactions with Oliver Rigby at KBS Corporate and cannot recommend him highly enough for his responsiveness, hard work and diligence. Oliver’s attention to detail and attentiveness to each deal he is involved in is remarkable. I really enjoy working with him!”
I have been really impressed with the way they conduct and chase the deal until completion
If you are considering selling your business, I would highly recommend speaking to them.

Adam Gilbert
Owner
AG Corporate Law
“I’ve worked with the KBS team now for around six years and completed around 40-plus transactions with them in that time.
“I have been really impressed with the way they conduct and chase the deal until completion. Each of them is a pleasure to deal with and extremely helpful throughout the transaction, and importantly to get the right outcome for their clients. They always make time to explain or pick up the phone to clients.
“They develop a good relationship with the buy-side, which I think helps to smooth the transaction to completion. Likewise, though, they are not scared to have the ‘tough’ conversation with the other side. They genuinely hand-hold clients – it’s not just ‘sales’ talk.
“If you are considering selling your business, I would highly recommend speaking to them.”
The collaboration between us has enabled our buyers to acquire a number of businesses.
Transparent communication makes it very easy to move processes along.
