The challenge

A niche construction business with strong margins had limited obvious buyers on the open market. The owner wanted a trade sale that valued specialist capability, not just assets.

Our approach

We mapped UK trade buyers seeking complementary modular and off-site construction capabilities.

Site visits and technical due diligence were sequenced carefully to avoid disrupting live projects.

We negotiated warranty and completion milestones tied to order book delivery.

The outcome

A UK trade buyer acquired the business to bolt on conversion expertise and capacity. The seller achieved a full exit with deferred consideration linked to project completion.
