FOR SELLERS

Exit, merge or plan your future.
Privately and on your terms.

Serious about finding the right match.

Whether you’re considering a full exit, phased retirement, a merger for stability, or simply exploring options, matchmaker⁺ offers a discreet, supportive and highly controlled way to begin the conversation.

We introduce you only to serious, aligned buyers — firms who are ready for confidential discussions and who match your size, culture, geography and goals.

There is no mass marketing, no online listings, and no risk to your confidentiality.

Everything is shaped around your preferred pace and your long-term future.

Why sellers choose matchmaker⁺

Strict confidentiality from the start

Your firm is never listed, promoted or circulated widely.

We approach only the firms you’re comfortable with, usually 2–3 strategic matches first.

A controlled, private process

You decide:
Who we speak to

When information is shared
Whether the search remains narrow or widens
How quickly or slowly things progress

Support, guidance and reassurance throughout

We are introducers, not advisers — but we stay closely involved:

Helping clarify your aims and timescales
Preparing you for buyer expectations
Keeping momentum between conversations
Being available for confidential chats anytime
Offering practical guidance from extensive experience

You are never left on your own.

Serious, pre-qualified buyers only

We introduce you only to buyers who:

have signed our NDA
have accepted our buyer terms
have confirmed active growth plans
are motivated to begin discussions

No speculative or “just browsing” conversations.

Straightforward seller engagement fee

Our fee for sellers is simple and upfront: £1,000 + VAT

This covers:

the confidential onboarding process
preparing your profile
initial targeted outreach
introductions to selected buyers

There are no hidden extras, and buyers pay all success fees, not you.

£0 engagement fee for buyer-led sellers

If we approach you because we already have a specific buyer in mind, the seller engagement fee is waived.

You only pay the £1,000 + VAT if you later ask us to search more widely.

Your Seller Journey

Working with matchmaker+ is a discreet, confidential and streamlined process.

1. Confidential conversation

A private, pressure-free chat about your goals — exit, merger, succession or simply exploring options.

2. Engagement & NDA

A simple agreement and NDA allow us to speak to selected buyers discreetly.

3. A carefully targeted search

We typically approach two or three pre-qualified buyers who match your strategic aims.

No broad mailshots. No mass marketing unless you expressly request it.

4. Introductions and early discussions

We introduce you directly and stay involved to support momentum, clarity and confidence.

5. Wider search (optional)

If you want a broader regional or national search, we can expand the process at any time.

6. You take conversations forward

You negotiate directly, take your own advice, and progress discussions privately and at your pace.

What sellers can achieve with matchmaker⁺

We support owners considering:

Full retirement
Phased or part-time exit
Succession planning
Merger for stability or growth
De-risking workload and responsibility
Selling part or all of a practice
Planning early while maintaining control

Every situation is personal and the process is tailored exactly to your aims.

Why confidentiality matters

Most sellers want:

No staff knowing prematurely
No competitor rumours
No client worry or disruption
No impact on recruitment or retention
No speculative activity online

Our discreet introducer model protects all of this.

Your name is never shared until:

the buyer signs an NDA, and
you approve that introduction.
