FOR SELLERS
Straightforward fees. Complete clarity from the start.
matchmaker⁺ offers a simple, transparent and seller-friendly fee structure.
There are no hidden costs, no surprises, and buyers — not sellers — pay all success fees.
1. Seller Engagement Fee
The seller engagement fee is:
£1,000 + VAT
A one-off fee covering the entire onboarding and introduction process, including:
- Preparing your confidential profile
- Understanding your goals and timescales
- Our internal review and positioning
- Carefully targeted outreach to selected buyers
- Introductions to strategically aligned firms
- Ongoing support and momentum throughout
There are no other fees payable by the seller.
All success fees are paid by the buyer, not you.
2. Buyer-Led Seller Option (£0 engagement fee)
If matchmaker⁺ approaches you because we already have a specific buyer in mind, your seller engagement fee is waived.
You only pay the £1,000 + VAT if you later instruct us to conduct a wider search beyond the initial buyer introduction.
This gives nervous or early-stage sellers a low-risk way to begin the conversation.
3. Success Fees (Paid by the Buyer Only)
Sellers never pay success fees.
These are payable by the buyer when a deal completes — covering:
- Full acquisitions
- Mergers
- Partial or phased integrations
- Team/department takeovers
- File, WIP or practice-asset transfers
Your cost is limited to the seller engagement fee and nothing more.
