How to Sell a Professional Services Business
At Casa Business Sales, our team of experienced professionals possesses the expertise and insight needed to ensure the successful and profitable sale of your professional services company. Firms in the professional services sector, such as recruitment agencies, law firms, accounting practices, insurance firms, design agencies, and marketing consultancies, play a crucial role in the UK economy. However, selling these types of businesses can be complex and challenging.
Historically, many professional services firms have been sold to family members or senior employees upon the owner's departure. Recently, however, there has been a shift, with more businesses being sold directly to third parties or acquired by larger companies as part of strategic mergers and acquisitions (M&A) policies.
With many years of experience and multi million-pounds raised in business sales, Casa Business Sales is well-positioned to guide you through the sale of your professional services firm. Our knowledgeable business brokers specialize in preparing, positioning, and marketing your company to achieve optimal results. We understand the nuances of various professional services sectors and leverage this knowledge to ensure a successful sale.

Valuing My Professional Services Business
If you’re considering selling your business in the professional services sector, the first step is to obtain a business valuation to help establish a starting price. With a well-informed approach, you can maximize your business’s market value and achieve the best price possible. Our in-house valuation team offers expert services to guide you through this process.
How Much Is My Professional Services Business Worth?
Valuing your business is the first step in understanding its potential returns and setting a starting point for a sale price. Our team at Casa Business Sales, with over 60 years of combined experience in business disposals, is well-equipped to promote and market your business effectively, ensuring it receives the attention it deserves.
Why Sell Your Professional Services Business?
The professional services sector is an integral part of the UK economy, contributing 15% to GDP, 14% to employment, and 14% to exports. With ongoing growth — such as a 9% revenue increase and 6.5% rise in headcount in 2016 — now may be the perfect time to sell. Larger firms are increasingly expanding their market share through aggressive M&A strategies, making the current market ripe for sales.
If you're considering selling, whether to fund retirement, release capital for a new venture, or simply move on from your business, the expertise of a professional business sales broker can help you realize the full value of your company. At Casa Business Sales, we will guide you through every step of the sale, from positioning your business to making it as attractive as possible to buyers, ensuring an efficient and profitable outcome.
