Grow your business with an acquisition partner

At Your Acquisition Partner we believe that successful businesses are usually a reflection of their management. The Managing Director always has their eye on what’s happening in the business and can make quick decisions about how best to grow it. The process of acquisition is long, expensive and stressful, did you know – 6 to 9 months is how long it takes on average to buy or sell a business which is too long to take your eye off the ball in your current business, the business selling then also suffers as a result which can often lead to renegotiating or failure to complete.

 At Your Acquisition Partner we feel that growth through acquisition has a higher success rate if we leave the MD to do what he does best and lead the operations they are experienced in, we partner with them to ensure they waste no time or expense and keep the focus where it should be, we concentrate fully on the acquisitions and work together to carefully integrate or partner the target businesses.  

At Your Acquisition Partner, we have a maximum of four partners with high growth ambitions. They focus on operations while our team focuses exclusively on the mergers & acquisitions (M&A). We aim to partner up, grow and then exit, leaving the “partner business” in full control and freeing up our focus to partner with the next promising entrepreneurs who want an opportunity like this one.

Mission. Our mission with Your Acquisition Partner is to provide M&A options for our partners to make sure together we achieve exceptional results and give business owners looking to exit a more attractive proposition.

Smaller businesses are even less likely to sell as they are deemed as higher risk than bigger companies.  This, coupled with lack of finance available for these transaction and professional fees diluting the  sales proceeds makes the M&A options for smaller businesses out of reach and nonviable. This is not the case with Your Acquisition Partner.
