I worked with Joshua Bryne from KBS and he's been stellar to work with. He's collaborative, pragmatic and solution orientated. I would highly recommend working with him..

I have repeatedly received unsolicited marketing mail from this company despite requesting to be removed from their mailing list. This demonstrates a lack of respect for privacy and UK GDPR regulations. I strongly advise the company to immediately stop sending marketing communications to those who have opted out.
KBS has a wide range of companies they represent. The process of getting the information from KBS is simple to complete. The documents they provide are clear and balanced. The staff we have met are reactive and provide clear information on what they will do and by when,

In a recent transaction with KBS Corporate, I was fortunate to work alongside Daniel Di Marco, whose support was invaluable. The deal progressed swiftly, and Daniel was consistently helpful, polite, and patient throughout. His professionalism and approachable manner made the experience seamless and, as always, a genuine pleasure to work with. I look forward to working with you again soon.

I acquired a business from KBS and found them to be diligent and straightforward to deal with.
George and Fahad were nothing other than professional, supportive and helpful in facilitating what is an incredibly important and inevitably stressful process. Well done.
Shazaman Ali has given great service at KBS - highly recommend!
George, Fahad, Tom, Nathan, Olivia, Andrew - the whole team and everyone I've interacted at KBS are super helpful, responsive and focused on achieving the best outcomes for their client. Highly recommended
Our business was recently sold through KBS, with Oliver Rigby as our principal contact. Oliver guided us through the entire process, and was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was professional and informative, answering any queries or concerns that we had along the way, He was a reassuring presence at all times. I would also highlight that we used the team proposed by KBS to handle legal matters, which worked perfectly, allowing for a synergy between all parties. I would highly recommend KBS - and Oliver - at any time!
We are at an early stage of the process, but the team at KBS grasped a good understanding of the business very quickly and Sara was able to put together a well structured Teaser and IM document. Any amendments were promptly addressed and we were able to finalise and are now ready to progress further!
Shaz was great to deal with, very professional and communicative.
They have a wide selection of businesses
As a search founder it is important to gain quick access to teasers about firms looking for an exit. I have been working with Lile as my go-to-person and it has been an extemely efficient experience so far.
We worked with Jacob Lord and Jack Tyldsley at KBS recently on the sale of our business. They were both brilliant and are backed up by a phenomenal team around them. Over the 23 years of running our business - we had been over promised time and time again by suppliers. KBS set the expectations early on and excelled against our high expectations, they made the whole process seamless and simple. The Information Memorandum, Teaser and Advert that they created was smart and professional - it showcased our business brilliantly. They led fact finding meetings professionally and kept us updated throughout the transaction. They introduced us to a legal team and financial consultants which made the whole process simple, transparent and efficient. If we ever needed to sell a business again, they would be the first people we would contact. Flawless.
Excellent service from KBS and Oliver in particular who always provides assistance, information and responses in a timely manner.
- Strong deal flow.
- Pleasant and professional staff to work with.
- Solid communication
