Q3 2025: #1 in Europe and #3 globally

We have continued our strong momentum throughout 2025 by again finishing top of the LSEG mid-market UK business sales ranking for the third quarter of the year.

KBS Corporate is proud to be a founding member of the K3 Capital Group, playing a vital role in the Group’s continued success story – one that goes from strength to strength, quarter after quarter.

Our consistent performance has seen us extend our remarkable run of finishing #1 in the UK every year since 2017. This year, however, marks a new milestone: K3 Capital Group is currently ranked #1 in Europe and #3 globally.

These rankings represent record highs and stand as an incredible testament to our team’s expertise, dedication and the trust our clients place in us – achievements made possible only through the hard work and commitment of our exceptional people.

So far in 2025, K3 Capital Group has completed 322% more deals than its nearest UK competitor, delivering 249 successful transactions compared to 59 by the next UK firm and our closest European counterpart’s total of 211.

This exceptional performance reinforces our position as the undisputed leader in the UK mid-market M&A sector and places us on the verge of achieving a record-high global position, as well as securing the #1 ranking in Europe for the first time.

Significant deals completed by KBS Corporate in Q3 include investment for a UK-leading distributor of electric motors, the sale of a long-standing, family-run fuel supplier, and investment for a market-leading engineering company.

We are immensely proud of our continued growth and leadership, both in the UK and internationally, and remain committed to delivering exceptional results for our clients as we head toward the end of another record-breaking year.
