UK FOCUSED BROKER DIRECTORIES/BUSINESS LISTING WEBSITES
Hi All,
Beyond the usual uk.businessesforsale.com, does anyone have any further info about broker directories focused on UK business brokers, or for example, other UK focused business listings websites. Wondering if there's a UK equivalent of Microacquire or Axial.
Thanks
I’m not sure it is due to
a) sales being more network driven than online
b) a lack of digital leadership to build and grow an alternative network
In my opinion, you're best off targeting directly rather than competing for the never never - particularly as (unlike the US) most searchers are competing with the lower mid market PE scene unless they have an edge / are doing something different!
It's a market that is prime for disruption by a more efficient solution.
I'm going to post this as a separate questions but does anyone have a template proprietary outreach letter? I would like to shift focus so any guidance on outbound techniques and templates would be highly valuable.
The other option is to look at corporate finance houses, they generally are regional and a lot more clued up on valuations, although still pushing the valuations to the higher end (only to be expected - as they are working on behalf of their clients best interests).
The best option is direct outreach to potential targets, for example using LinkedIn/calling them/direct mail.
