Part of the Reads Advice Partners network, we focus exclusively on facilities management businesses.
FM Business Sales was created to serve a gap in the market: facilities management business owners who deserve a broker that truly understands their sector.
We know the difference between a business running a bundled cleaning and mechanical contract across 40 sites and one delivering reactive hard FM for a single blue-chip client. We understand why triple ISO certification matters, how SafeContractor and CHAS accreditation transforms a valuation, and why the post-COVID consolidation trend is creating the most significant acquisition opportunity the sector has seen in a decade.
Our approach is simple. We take the time to understand your business properly, position it correctly, and then create competitive tension among qualified buyers. We do not rush the process. We do not take shortcuts. And we never compromise on confidentiality.
We are part of the Reads Advice Partners network, which brings broader M&A expertise and a nationwide buyer register. But our focus is singular: facilities management businesses.
Simon Read manages the FM Business Sales division, working directly with every client from initial conversation through to completion. There is no sales team. There are no junior analysts running your deal.
When you call, you speak to the person who understands your industry, has access to the buyer network, and will manage your sale from start to finish. Simon knows the difference between a business with 50 multi-service contracts across blue-chip occupiers and one delivering single-service soft FM to SME clients. He understands how triple ISO certification changes a valuation, why SafeContractor and CHAS accreditation matters to PE buyers, and what the post-COVID consolidation trend means for the acquisition market.
This direct, personal approach means nothing is lost in translation. Your business is positioned accurately, your concerns are heard by the person making decisions, and you always know exactly where you stand in the process.
Simon has spent over two decades advising business owners on their exit strategies. He understands the facilities management market intimately and has completed sales ranging from small owner-operated firms to multi-million pound consolidation deals.
Every conversation starts with understanding what matters most to you: the price, the legacy, the staff, the timing, or simply getting out with certainty. Nothing is decided until you are ready.
