Buying a Recruitment Agency in the South East
Axis Partnership has over 25 years’ experience of buying and selling a business including recruitment agencies. With us acting on your behalf, we can guide you through the process of locating the right recruitment agency, contacting them on your behalf and negotiating and finalising a deal.
A buyer will usually have an idea of what type of recruitment agency they are looking for whether permanent, temporary or contract recruitment. You may want a recruitment company that operates in a number of industry sectors or a niche specific agency such as a recruitment agency for the construction industry, nursing or catering and hospitality industry.
Buyers will also need to decide where in the south east they want their recruitment company to be located. East Anglian towns like Ipswich, Norwich, Cambridge, Peterborough, Chelmsford and Colchester are all easily accessible to London by train and have a diversity of commercial activity. East Anglia, covering Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire has a population of approximately 3.5 million. It has two international airports (Stansted and Norwich) and two major ports in (Felixstowe and Harwich) which both generate a great deal of commerce.
The benefit of choosing a recruitment agency in East Anglia is overheads are lower than in the capital. Areas in and around Norwich for example, are also scenic and offer a greater work life balance. A fast train links Ipswich and Norwich to London and there is a hi-tech corridor between Ipswich and Cambridge along the A14. BTs research and development centre is based in the Ipswich area, attracting skilled IT and engineering personnel.
The city of Cambridge, a university town, also attracts many skilled IT personnel. The city and surrounding area is sometimes called Silicon Fen because of the quantity of hi-tech businesses that have established on science parks around the city.
Chelmsford is an important employment centre with just as many people coming to work in the town as those commuting into London, which can be beneficial to a recruitment company. It is also home to a range of national and international companies including M&G group and e2v technologies.
As the Capital city, London is home to 8 million residents and some 300,000 businesses, so is perfect for setting up a recruitment agency, especially if you are planning on buying an existing business with dedicated clients. It offers a prestigious address and benefits from a high flow of workers into the capital looking for work and a large number of businesses needing skilled workers.
Along the south coast, Brighton/Worthing/Littlehampton is the UK’s most densely populated major conurbation outside London. Just over half of the population of this area live in the city of Brighton and Hove.
The city of Southampton is home to Southampton University, Southampton airport and has one of the largest commercial ports in Europe. Together with Portsmouth it forms the UK’s eighth most populated metropolitan area (more than 1,500,000 inhabitants). Portsmouth is the only English city with a higher population density than London, so recruitment agencies here can benefit from this large potential workforce.
How Our Service Works
If you register with us, when a matching business comes up for sale we will contact you straight away. We can also pro actively search for recruitment companies in south east England which satisfy your requirements and make confidential inquiries on your behalf to see if they are interested in in selling. Once a matching business has been found the following occurs:
The target company is assessed by the buyer or by Axis on the buyer’s behalf to look into whether the company is a good match and is also a prime investment. The company will be valued at this stage if it hasn’t been already.
The buyer will need to secure finance in order to make an offer. Axis will typically negotiate on your behalf until both sides reach an agreement. Once an offer is agreed Axis will usually draw up Heads of Terms and modify the deal if necessary until both sides are ready to sign.
At this stage solicitors are instructed and detailed contracts are drawn up. The buyer needs to carry out detailed checks on a number of aspects of the recruitment company including detailed operational, financial, legal and property audits and this stage requires the agency to make all the information known to the buyer.
Solicitors will issue a contract for agreement before final arrangements are made to ensure funding is in place on the completion date. Finally contracts are signed, exchanged and the completion date is set.
