Plan Maximum Value for Your Exit
You’ve spent decades building something extraordinary. Now it’s time to ensure your exit delivers the value you deserve without leaving money on the table or walking into costly mistakes.
Who This Is For
This is for established business owners who:
- Have built a business as an asset
- Are considering an exit within the next 1-5 years
- Want to maximise their business value and exit options
- Need experienced guidance from someone who's successfully sold their own businesses
- Value confidential, honest advice over quick commissions
You're not ready if:
- Your business is entirely dependent on your daily involvement
- You haven't considered why you want to sell
- You're looking for a quick transaction without proper preparation
The Value-First Exit Framework
Unlike typical M&A brokers who rush transactions, our approach focuses on advising maximum value before going to market.
Phase 1 - Exit Readiness Assessment
We evaluate your business across critical areas that determine value and buyer interest.
Phase 2 - Value Enhanced Planning
Based on real buyer criteria, we develop a strategic plan to position your business for maximum value.
Phase 3 - Market Preparation
We prepare comprehensive documentation and identify quality buyers who understand your industry and your values.
Phase 4 - Guided Transaction Management
From initial offers through to completion, we manage the process while protecting your interests and maintaining confidentiality.
How M&A Advisory Solves Your Problem
Stop Leaving Money on the Table
Many business sales are substantially undervalued due to poor preparation and rushed processes. Our systematic, experienced approach ensures we capture maximum value.
Avoid Costly Mistakes
We help you to navigate through the due diligence process, legal complexities, and negotiation with guidance from someone who’s been through multiple successful exits.
Maintain Business Momentum
We will take the load of the M&A process while you continue to successfully grow your business. Poor management of the process can potentially damage business value during critical periods.
Find the Right Buyer
Not every buyer is suitable. We identify acquirers who appreciate your company culture and want to strike a fair deal.

Success Story
“I first worked with Lloyd following the successful multi-million-pound sale of his own business through our team in 2021/22.
Since then, we’ve collaborated on a number of client projects, where Lloyd’s insight, commercial acumen, and dealmaking ability have proven invaluable. He has a sharp understanding of the business sale process from both sides of the table, and his skills in negotiation are second to none.
Lloyd consistently strikes the balance between protecting our clients’ interests and engaging the buyer constructively. His ability to help both parties reach a fair, workable deal has been a decisive factor in completing several complex transactions to the satisfaction of all involved.
If you are considering selling or buying a business, I would strongly recommend speaking with Lloyd before approaching anyone else.”

Frequently Asked Questions

With proper preparation, 12-18 months from initial planning to completion. Rushed sales often fail or achieve poor results.
What if my business isn't ready to sell yet?
We’ll tell you honestly. Better to prepare properly than accept a lower value due to poor readiness.
