"A close friend introduced me to Antony and Andrew. From the first meeting it was apparent that we had found something different and far more promising. They quickly understood the business and delivered a realistic and honest assessment of our sale prospects. This included a profile of likely buyers, an outline of the selling process and, of course, target pricing.Once we had formally engaged M&A Partners, they quickly developed a list of potential purchasers. They made first contact with our eventual partner and skilfully guided us to a successful sale. Throughout this process they acted as partner, confidant, adviser and honest broker. Sale of a lifetime business is an emotional roller coaster and requires a partner with experience and skill. M&A Partners provided that and more.I would not hesitate to recommend M&A Partners to anyone contemplating selling their business. They became our expert ally and our friends. The resultant sale of Safetech has been a success for staff, founders and the purchasers.”

“M&A Partners played a crucial role in the successful sale of Synergy to Metal Manufacturers, expertly guiding our board and shareholders to a deal that not only met but exceeded expectations. Under the careful direction of Antony Lynch, M&A simplified a complex transaction, enabling our board to focus on managing and growing the business throughout a challenging process. The executive team would have faced significant difficulties without M&A’s assistance. I highly recommend reaching out to them if you seek an advisor who listens to your concerns, navigates the intricacies, and offers innovative options you might not have considered.”

Chairman, Synergy Business Systems

They navigated each obstacle with skill and dedication, and the result was highly satisfactory."

David Kyngdon
Founder, Bambody
