They do love to spam you with requests to buy your company. Wish they'd go away.

Nothing short of incredible unprofessionalism and complete incompetence. I was chased for over 2 years to use their services and upon placing my trust and having handed over a significant fee I have received not one lead but more worrying no regular updates whatsoever from my account manage Leanne even after highlighting what I expected. This year to date I’m still awaiting my first contact. I would seriously consider using their services

It was a daunting experience putting my beloved business up for sale and it required a lot of hand holding from people with the right experience. Ben and the team at Knightsbridge were brilliant throughouot the whole process. They provided sound advice and encouragement at every stage. Thank you everyone.

Knightsbridge were hands-on and professional

I am managing partner of a corporate law firm that has been involved in a number of dealings and transactions for Knightsbridge clients and have found KBS very responsive to clients' as well as lawyers' needs. They are a very professionally managed and operated outfit and of particular note is Sara Thomasson (Operations Director) who has many years of experience in the field as well as Sara Manville (Senior Sales Negotiator) whom we have dealt with on a number of occasions.

Knightsbridge were totally clear and transparent during the set up phase of the contract. Their service offer was superior to anything else I had looked at. Once the business was on the market it was handled in the main by Sara. She was outstanding, nothing was too much trouble, she went over and above to secure a deal for me. She listened to all my concerns and gave me sound advice at every point. I would thoroughly recommend Knightsbridge to anyone looking to sell a business.

Hard work for buyers, process make deals harder not easier

As a buyer I find it almost impossible not to have to deal with Knightsbridge but I really wish I did not have to. Their service is variable depending on who you get - but in general I find it lazy, difficult, judgemental and unresponsive. They do no more than pass emails between buyers and sellers - there is no attempt to explore ideas and stitch together deals. What's more, if you ask for information you have to chase multple times to get a response. An AI bot could do more!I also think they mislead sellers - I have seen in a brief scan of other feed back 'optomistic' valuations mentioned and in my dealing with sellers I have found they often suggest they have received advice on pricing which as a buyer I consider gross overvaluations. When I have explained this to Knightsbridge team members they simply shrug. Finally, and related to their lack of interest in creating deals is the notorious 'offers invited' price. I have on several occasions had to punt an offer to them with no indicative price based on the brochure. Often for an SME this will be low, but based on average EBIT. I then expect feed back from the seller about why it's worth more - but invariably all that happens is that either Knightsbridge don't reaspond or they feedback only that the seller felt it was too low (and I get the feeling the seller has been offended becasue they feel the business is worth more). What I don't get is a rational explanation of why the seller thinks it's worth so much (example, one business making £50k EBITbut which the seller told me needed investment so not really £50k was expecting £1.25m!) I could see some potential, but given the work needed I though £200k would be generous!) - I was asked to put my feedback in writing, and had to chase three times before getting a call (not the courtesy of a written response) that only told me that they were on holiday. Similar situations have resulted in the more-or-less useless feeback 'the offer was too low'. So it seems the idea is that we put in a random sum that's either too much (their hope?) or too little - and then all sides just sit around until one gets frustrated and either gives in or walks away! Knightsbridge add nothing. The certainly don't 'broker' deals. They just pass messages. I should add that I am a serious buyer who has purchased other businesses, has budget and has an active purchase with Knightsbridge at the moment (a miracle but the seller was knowledgeable and we reached a deal between ourselves). Despite all that, I just came off the phone with one broker who had not even worked out that the same buyer was discussing two deals with her and who was rude enough to imply they she though one offer I put in on a loss making business was beneth bothering to reply to despite the offer being accomanied but a heartfelt plea to be given some guideance on why they felt the company was worth more... In summary, I really really find these people hard to work with and feel they must be letting thousands of possible sales slip through their fingers because they just can't be bothered to engage with buyers.

Well what can we say we had a young man out to value business he made all sorts promises said it will sell with in 3 month so we went for it said we will do all viewing and il keep in contact. Anyway he left no notice given to us.yes dont get me wrong this is first time we sold a business so I use to ring regular for updates i think they thought i was a pain.They took our money 900 pounds and got nothing back yes they advertised on zoopla and others but we got no viewings or anything yes we had cv19 but they said they still selling business.I total understand its been a hard few month and yes like i said i was new to.all this but when the young man come out made all these promises and not 1 as come off well what can we say.The office staff was good but I got to a point where i felt i couldn't even contact then as gave me the impression I shouldn't be ringing all time but why not its my business that they was selling. Any way come to end contract and cancelled everthing wouldn't reccomend them to.anyone at all.Hope this helps people do your research before before paying out .

Small business sale

Knightsbridge successfully found me a buyer for my business. I thought their marketing documents where good and after a number of prospectives, they came up with the right buyer. It took just over a year, longer than I thought. But I think that was the market.Their fees are rather heavily weighted against small businesse like mine and represented a large % of the agreed sale price and thats on top of the initial fee for preparing the sales brochures etc.Otherwise a job well done.

I very rarely leave negative reviews but we had a very unpleasant experience with Knightsbridge. After being promised the earth by salesman James, who told us he had refused other local businesses as he felt he could sell ours quickly we went with them at an extortionate fee of 595 + VAT just to put it on the site and market. (They want an extra 4k when they sell!) Despite being regaled with tales of selling a petrol station in 5 hours and other patter after a month we had one viewing. However..... the viewing was not actually a viewing as the interested party 'cancelled' after I enquired the night before whether it was going ahead. Had I not have enquired, I would have taken time off work to complete the viewing, only for the other party to not turn up. When I expressed my concern to the MD Victoria Williams, things went worse. This woman seems from the phone calls and emails that she is the archetypal, sales person done good, and kept arrogantly saying that they didnt need the business and if we didnt like it they wont work with us. We tried to explain that this is our first business and we didnt understand the process and needed a bit of support. This was to no avail and she eventually refused to keep marketing the business, despite all the work us and her colleagues had put in. The service was unprofessional and there was an awful lot of fabrication. Also extremely high priced. The sales man who got us to sign with them, intimated he would sell the business but this was handed to a beleaguered girl in the office who tried her best to fuflfil the companies inaccurate promises, but ultimately she was beating a dead horse. I asked Victoria MD who I could complain to. With a crack of thunder and a loud 'mu ha ha!!!!' she said 'I handle all complaints and there is no umbudsman service' so ultimately you are at the mercy of her whims. Good luck.

Don’t spend any money or time with this unprofessional company

They talk a lot but don’t produce anything. I have advertised the business for nearly 2 years and only 1 interest which lead to nothing !!! And they knew about it. No communication from this bad company, I had to call myself to hear anything. No plans how to sell ( no spreadsheets, no forecasts, no business plan) they don’t ask any questions about what could help for the sale of the business. They make you believe they can sell anything, but really they only take your money and forget about you. I have been dealing with one of there director and send an email complaining about there work and still now no answers !!!!!! Not happy, please don’t waste your money or time !!!
