You will deal with Peter. Always.
Selling a practice is not simply a financial transaction. It is a decision about your clients, your team, your reputation and what comes next for you.
For more than two decades, Peter Watson has helped sole practitioners, partners and growing firms across the UK navigate practice sales, purchases, valuations and mergers. There is no hand-off to an account manager: the person you speak to at the beginning stays with you throughout.
- Advice shaped around your timing and priorities
- Discreet introductions to relevant buyers
- Practical support through negotiation and handover
A clear route forward
From first conversation to a confident handover
No two deals are identical, but a well-managed process gives both sides clarity and keeps avoidable surprises to a minimum.
A private conversation
Tell Peter what you want to achieve, when you hope to do it and what matters most beyond the headline price.
Valuation and preparation
Review recurring fees, profitability, client mix, team, systems and owner dependency so the practice is presented credibly.
Careful buyer matching
Approach suitable, serious buyers without publicly identifying your practice, then compare fit, funding and intentions.
Negotiation to handover
Keep momentum through offers, due diligence, heads of terms, legal work and a client-focused transition.
Client experiences
Trusted with important transitions
Real feedback from accountancy practice owners Peter has supported.
“Thank you for finding me an excellent buyer and guiding me through the whole process. I would have no hesitation in recommending your services.”
“The buyer you found for me is an extremely good fit for my client base and the whole process has been a very positive experience.”
“You arranged five appointments, all excellent candidates. Effectively, you sold my practice within two weeks.”
