FAQs
What types of businesses do you work with?
We work primarily with founder-led businesses across service-led and industrial sectors, including technical services, industrial services, B2B services and facilities services.
Our focus is on established, profitable companies where there is clear value to realise through a structured sale process.
Do you publicly market businesses for sale?
​​
​
​​
No. All mandates are handled on a private and confidential basis.
We run targeted processes, engaging directly with a carefully selected group of relevant buyers. This approach protects the business while ensuring meaningful, credible conversations.
How is my business valued?
​
​​
Valuation is based on a combination of financial performance, sector dynamics, growth profile and buyer demand.
We provide clear, commercially grounded guidance — not just on valuation, but on how to position the business to achieve the best possible outcome.
How long does the process take?
​​
Most transactions complete within 3–6 months from initial engagement.
Timelines can vary depending on complexity, preparedness and buyer dynamics, but our focus is always on running an efficient process without compromising on outcome.
What kind of buyers do you work with?
We engage with a range of credible acquirers, including strategic buyers, private equity firms and acquisitive platforms.
All buyer conversations are carefully managed to ensure alignment, capability and genuine intent.
How do your fees work?
We operate on a straightforward model, typically combining a modest retainer with a success fee on completion.
Our interests are aligned with yours — we are focused on achieving the right outcome, not simply completing a transaction.
Do I need to be ready to sell before speaking with you?
No. Many clients engage with us well in advance of a transaction.
We are happy to have confidential, early-stage conversations to help you understand your options and prepare for a future exit.
What if my financials are not fully prepared?
This is common. As part of our process, we help present financial information in a clear and appropriate way for buyers.
Strong preparation and positioning can have a meaningful impact on both value and deal certainty.
What makes Acquitas Partners different?
We are a focused, sell-side advisory firm built around delivering outcomes for founders.
Our approach combines disciplined process, sector understanding and operator-backed insight — allowing us to position businesses effectively, engage the right buyers and manage transactions with clarity and control.
We operate selectively, work closely with our clients, and prioritise quality over volume.
