Buying a Business
Our comprehensive business acquisition service supports the entire transaction process
Opus Hyde House works closely with our clients to create and research a profile of the type of business that is sought for acquisition. Appropriate targets are identified through detailed research and confidential approaches are made to start initial discussions even if the target is not ‘on the market’.
We manage the entire process. including making the initial offer and negotiating subsequent counter offers, agreeing the deal terms and managing the due diligence process. We provide support at every step of the acquisition to ensure your transaction is successful.
Step 1: Identifying businesses for acquisition
We take the time to understand your criteria. Our bespoke search and find service enables us to access both UK and international businesses. All potential ‘targets’ are meticulously qualified and approached confidentially.
Our international reach includes vendors via deal makers, private equity and venture capital firms as well as lawyers and accountants. Our wider connections allow us to access business intelligence and visibility of companies for sale that have yet to be advertised on the open market.
Step 2: Professional confidential marketing
We act as your confidential intermediary in the acquisition process so that your interests remain confidential. You may be seeking to acquire a competitor who will of course be very nervous about sharing business information. We are able to ‘unlock’ the route to a successful transaction through third party and sensitive negotiation; avoiding any conflict of agenda or personality.
Step 3: Boutique M&A advisory services
Through our end-to-end acquisition services, we provide expert guidance and assistance throughout all negotiations, heads of terms and the complex legal and due diligence processes. We also assist in the post acquisition integration and business strategy to help you ensure your acquisition is a success.
Step 4: Raising acquisition finance
Through our Group and own long-standing connections, we can help you secure a finance package to support the purchase of a company. Financial funding routes include asset based funding, private equity and invoice discounting & factoring.
Step 5: Completing the deal
A senior partner will represent and protect your interests at every meeting and lead all negotiations to ensure the deal is completed within your timescale and under the best possible terms.

Securing the sale of Arden Wood Shavings to industry giant Veolia
“Mr Standford was keen to highlight and praise the role of Barry and Ross who negotiated and managed the sale to Veolia. It is clear that without their expert advice and knowledge of the process we would not have been able to complete this complex sale. They were quick to identify the key issues that had to be resolved and worked tirelessly through the entire process to ensure the successful outcome for my wife and I and for the buyer”
