A long-term approach.
We offer a transparent process, a fair valuation, an assurance that the business will continue as status quo over the long-term, and a clear transition to exiting founders.
We continue your legacy.
Building successful businesses takes years of hard work and commitment. Continuation Partners builds upon your legacy and offers a solution to business owners seeking a pathway to retirement.
Get In TouchWorking together.
We focus on building trust through all of our interactions. We do what we say we will do and we seek mutual alignment at every stage of the process.
GET IN TOUCHQuick feedback.
We respect the value of your time and are committed to being an excellent partner to business owners and intermediaries. We will always provide feedback on new opportunities within 24-hours and prioritise over-communication and openness throughout the process.
High certainty of close.
We move with certainty and speed once we determine that a company possesses the characteristics that we look for. We have committed investor capital and decades of experience in managing deal processes, from due-diligence all the way through to financing and closing.
Flexible deal terms.
Alongside a fair valuation for your life’s work, our deal terms are flexible and we work together in partnership to find a structure and post-acquisition role that is right for you.
Competitive buy-side fee.
We work with trusted partners and intermediaries, who have deep relationships with small and medium sized businesses in the UK, which are typically formed over many decades, and offer an attractive buy-side fee for opportunities that are a great fit for Continuation Partners.
Our process.
We provide a clear, realistic transaction timeline and diligence list at a very early stage, so that you and your team can plan ahead and manage the day-to-day running of the business in parallel.

Analyse and in-person meetings.
