KBS Corporate Opiniões 256

We had an excellent experience working with Dylan Bennet at KBS Corporate. From start to finish, Dylan was proactive, professional and incredibly supportive. He helped find the right buyer and guided us through the entire sale process, which was completed smoothly in just six months. Thanks to Dylan's dedication and expertise, the transaction went through without a hitch. We would highly recommend Dylan and KBS corporate to anyone considering selling their business.

I had the pleasure of working with KBS Corporate and in particular my assigned corporate executive Dylan Bennett to help with the sale of my business, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the results. From the outset, KBS and Dylan in particular demonstrated deep expertise, professionalism, and a genuine understanding of my goals. Their approach was strategic, and they provided valuable guidance throughout the entire process, Dylan felt like he was on have 24/7 and was a great go between all parties involved. Thanks guys for efforts, we were able to find a buyer who was a perfect fit for my company.

I highly recommend KBS and Dylan for anyone looking to sell their business. They made a complex process seamless and, most importantly, delivered result i was looking for.

I made request for information that were promptly dealt with by Mari, great service.

Anthony, the analyst involved, represented the KBS client perfectly, asking the right questions to confirm that my company's interest in the opportunity is serious, and equally ensuring I did not waste time researching an opportunity that would not be appropriate for us. He dealt with our enquiry promptly and courteously, providing excellent service.

As a law firm that frequently handles the legal aspects of business disposals, we have worked alongside KBS Corporate on numerous transactions. They are, without question, a premier brokerage firm.

From the initial introduction and heads of terms to the final completion, their team, led by Operations Manager Amber Morley, demonstrates unparalleled market expertise and a deep commitment to their clients' success. What sets KBS apart is their ability to bridge the gap between commercial ambitions and legal requirements. They manage the sale process with precision so that it allows us to focus on the legal intricacies while they ensure the overall deal momentum never falters. Their proactive communication and highly organised approach make them a pleasure to work with. They don’t just find buyers; they find the right buyers, ensuring that the companies our mutual clients have built are placed in the best possible hands.

For any business owner looking for a sophisticated, results-driven partner to navigate a sale, we cannot recommend KBS Corporate highly enough. They are true leaders in their field.

My experience of KBS, and Paul Liptrott, who was the assigned broker to us is nothing but amazing. Businesses are made up of the people that work there and Paul helped me through every step of the way. It will be the one and only business that I sell, so was new to all the processes and different steps along the way. Any questions I had I knew I could pick the phone up to Paul and most occasions I would be able to get through immediately and the times I left a voicemail I ALWAYS got a call back the same day.

Regarding the negotiations with the buyer, Paul achieved a value that we were very happy with, but has also made the buyer think that he has a great deal too, which is why, a couple of weeks into the new working relationship we are all happy as we both think we got a good deal, and this will be down to Paul's conversations with the buyer.

We were kept up to date all along the way and we used KBS's recommended lawyers as well and the whole transaction went through very smoothly and in time to beat the new tax increase.

In summary, I would not hesitate to recommend KBS and in particular Paul Liptrott, so much so that I have two friends who are thinking of selling their businesses as well and I have recommended KBS and Paul in particular.

Thanks very much Paul!

KBS did a great job for us, specifically Matt Sibley also thanks to Khurshid and the team at K3 Law. thank you hard you hard work and expertise in delivering the outcome we did.

And so the saga continues.

Yesterday’s email from them told me that their “research team have highlighted your own business as a very strong acquisition prospect”.

Obviously an attractive proposition and it went on to say: “If you can let me know when you have a moment free, I can give you a quick call”.

So I replied: “Would you be available around 11.30 tomorrow? Sally won't be available, but she is happy for me to have initial contact with you on her behalf.” This was confirmed by them and so I supplied my phone number to them.

You can imagine my disappointment when 11.30 this morning came and went without a call or an email to explain their silence. Do you suppose someone in their company got round to reading my last review?

Edit:

Thank you for your response. I'm sorry if the number rang out. I've just checked and it appears to be working correctly at the moment.

That however wasn't the point of my second review, as I'm sure you well know. That you tried to contact me without apparently having first checked on the nature of my so-called 'business' is the problem.

And of course, your not having checked meant that the information provided to me by you regarding the desirability of my 'business' on the corporate sales market was, how shall I put it, well there is a word...

We have recently sold our company and without the skill, knowledge and expertise of KBS and in particular Jacob and Jack this would have been impossible. Jacob in particular and Jack where instrumental in helping me through the deal process. By the end if the whole process it actually felt as though we had become friends, in fact I would say we are friends. Most of you will not have sold a company before and its vital that you have the right team behind you as you navigate the whole process. Make KBS your team and make Jacob or Jack your captain, even if Jack supports Bolton... UTT

I instructed KBS Corporate to sell my business after seeing a mixed range of reviews. They charge a significant upfront fee, which covers the creation of marketing materials.

Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing - particularly due to the lack of transparency and communication.

Despite repeatedly requesting it, I was not provided with basic information such as:

- The names of companies approached on my behalf
- Dates of contact
- Any feedback received

After several months, I was given a single spreadsheet. A year later, I made multiple further requests for an updated list, but nothing was ever provided. This led me to question whether their focus is primarily on onboarding clients for upfront fees, or prioritising larger deals where commission is higher.

I have since cut ties with KBS. From the point of signing, I never felt like a priority. A broker’s core responsibilities should include:

1. Approaching suitable prospective buyers
2. Gathering feedback
3. Sharing that feedback with their client

On one occasion, I was also concerned by how pushy KBS were in arranging a meeting with a prospective buyer. The individual provided only a screenshot of a spreadsheet as proof of identity - something I later found online myself. Despite this, KBS still encouraged the meeting. We ultimately withdrew, as it was clearly a bogus or scam situation.

I raised concerns about the lack of transparency and may have benefited from a different representative to represent our company but this never happened.

To be clear, this review is not about failing to sell the business. We did receive one offer - but that came from a contact we introduced ourselves, who had already shown prior interest.

This review is about the lack of communication, transparency, and overall engagement throughout the process.

We worked with KBS Corporate recently on the sale of our business and had a very positive experience throughout.

Jacob Lord and Jack Tyldsley were both excellent to deal with, providing clear guidance and support from start to finish. They were also backed up expertly by their appointed legal team later in the transaction, which helped ensure everything progressed smoothly.

KBS set expectations early on with the Information Memorandum and Teaser they created, which generated a very high level of initial interest. Through ongoing discussions, and by really listening to our vision of the ideal buyer, Jacob and Jack helped narrow this down to a manageable and relevant group.

They continued to provide a high level of professionalism, communication, and guidance throughout the entire process, which made what can be a complex transaction feel far more straightforward.

Thank you again to Jacob and Jack for all your support.

I had not previously sold a business, so the process initially felt quite daunting. However, having Sean at KBS on board made it far more manageable and transparent . He kept me informed throughout the process .The marketing was excellent, creating strong interest from the outset which enabled me to maximise the final sale value.
The transaction process was handled professionally, with clear communication and reassurance provided at every stage. I would highly recommend the services provided. Thank you 🙏

Mari - very helpful, Westbury always looking for opportunities and Mari, also sending relevant info to us. Andrew

They asked me if the opportunity is of interest, then sent it and it was fairly explanatory. There are some points about all IMs - why not show the year end? In the case of this IM it would have been helpful to understand a bit more about why the P&L moved as it does.

As someone on the buy-side we've been working with KBS for some time and on multiple processes. We completed our most recent transaction together in January and found the team to be knowledgeable and efficient throughout the process. I've been working closer with Richard Stocks and he's always friendly and fast in communicating. He's great at finding a steady stream of quality opportunities, understanding our scope, and is always looking out for the right fit both for the sell- and buy-side in a potential deal. Definitely would work together with KBS again.

Overall a very professional experience with KBS. I'm on the buy-side and I have only experienced great service and opportunities. Very helpful and experienced people working there. I recently requested opportunities in a very specific industry to one of their Senior Research Analysts (Shazaman Ali) and received an impressive selection of opportunities within a couple of hours. Always a pleasure.

I have been working with Kirsty Poynton across our marketing material and she really grasped the nature of our business and put together a full brand of compelling marketing literature, and I was extremely impressed and would recommend Kirsty.

I recently worked closely with Jacob Lord on a transaction and was very impressed with both his professionalism and his personable approach. He has a natural ability to keep meetings focused and productive, while ensuring that all parties remain aligned and working toward the same objectives. When discussions became complex, Jacob was particularly effective at bringing both sides back to common ground and moving the transaction forward constructively.

Throughout the process, he maintained consistent and clear communication, keeping everyone informed and addressing questions promptly. His responsiveness, attention to detail, and calm demeanor helped the transaction progress as smoothly as it could from start to finish. Overall, he was a genuine pleasure to work with, and I would welcome the opportunity to collaborate with him again in the future.

I worked with Jacob Lord and Jack Tyldsley at KBS on Project Granite and had a very positive experience throughout. From the initial contact through due diligence and completion, they were consistently helpful, pragmatic and responsive. Commercial matters were handled efficiently and with real stewardship on the process. I look forward to the next project together with this team.
