The Business Sale Report is an acquisition-focused service, website and publication specialising in connecting serious business buyers with sellers of mid-market businesses in the UK. Buyers each pay a subscription fee to access the contact information for the businesses we list. They also give us their specific acquisition criteria, which is made available to the relevant sellers, enabling them to shortlist potential buyers.
List unlimited businessesMembers can add an unlimited number of businesses for sale onto the site. You can edit or remove businesses at any time through your account area. All the businesses you list will appear on our listing pages under the category you determine and will remain visible until you inform us that the business has been sold. |

"Thanks to BSR I have finally ended the search for my first company acquisition. A corporate finance boutique listed ‘Project Jasper’ on BSR and it caught my eye immediately, as it seemed to tick all the right boxes, including industry niche, turnover of around £4 million and EBITDA of between £500k and £1m. The deal did take nine months to finally get signed, but I have to say I am really very excited and happy with the purchase."

I have mainly used the principal listing, but have also had some quality response to a Businesses Wanted ad."
