FIND A BUSINESS TO BUY

STOP WAITING FOR THE RIGHT BUSINESS TO COME ONTO THE MARKET.

The right acquisition may already exist. It simply may not be advertised for sale. We can identify businesses that fit your acquisition criteria and approach the owners directly, including businesses that are not currently advertised for sale. Transition 360 Partners combines UK company data, acquisition research and direct owner outreach to identify businesses that fit your criteria.

The right business may not be for sale. Yet.

START WITH THE BUSINESS YOU ACTUALLY WANT

A broad instruction such as 'find me an engineering business' is not enough.

Owner involvement

This gives us something meaningful to search for and something meaningful to reject.

ON-MARKET AND OFF-MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

Use both routes, but judge them properly.

ON-MARKET

We can review opportunities being marketed through brokers and business-for-sale platforms and help you determine whether they genuinely fit your criteria.

OFF-MARKET

We can identify companies that match your criteria even if the owner has not publicly advertised the business for sale. This can create conversations that would otherwise never happen.

SEARCHING MILLIONS OF UK COMPANIES

The technology identifies possibilities. Experience decides which ones are worth pursuing.

We can identify businesses that fit your acquisition criteria and approach the owners directly, including businesses that are not currently advertised for sale.

Transition 360 Partners has access to millions of UK company records that can be searched and filtered around your acquisition criteria. This allows us to identify potential businesses much more systematically than simply searching Google or waiting for broker emails.

HOW THE PROCESS WORKS

A simple, structured approach to finding the right business.

1. Define what you want to buy
2. Identify businesses that fit
3. Approach owners directly
4. Establish genuine interest
5. Screen the opportunity
6. Decide whether it deserves further investigation

FROM DATA TO REAL CONVERSATIONS

Finding a company name in a database is not an acquisition opportunity.

The next step is understanding the business, identifying the right people and starting a genuine conversation with the owner.

Our approach combines data with direct outreach to establish whether there may be an appetite for a conversation about a sale.

Not every owner will want to sell. Not every business will be suitable. That is part of the process.

WE DON'T SEND YOU HUNDREDS OF BUSINESSES

More targets do not automatically mean more opportunity.

A badly matched business still wastes your time.

We screen opportunities against the agreed acquisition criteria before deciding whether they warrant serious investigation.

The objective isn't to show you hundreds of businesses. It's to find suitable businesses that are worth your time investigating.
