What is your practice worth?

Three questions here, then twenty minutes on the phone and an indicative range.

We will not put a number on this page. Anyone quoting you a multiple before they have looked at your client book is guessing, and the number always moves at heads of terms. Asking costs you nothing and exposes you to nobody: no buyer is contacted and nothing is published unless and until you ask us to.

If you have your client list to hand, the practice sale analyser shows what a buyer will look at in it, and the changes that would add most to what they pay. The list stays on your computer.

What are your gross recurring fees?

No email address needed for the first three questions.

Before you ask

Before you get in touch.

Why will you not just put a number on the website?

Because any number produced without looking at your client book is a guess, and the ones you see quoted are usually higher than what practices actually change hands for. A figure that gets revised down at heads of terms wastes six months of your life. We give you a range on the phone, once you have told us about the client book.

Am I committing to anything?

No. There is no retainer, no exclusivity, and no obligation to instruct us afterwards. Plenty of people call two years before they sell, and that is sensible.

Will anybody find out I called?

No. Nothing is published, no buyer is contacted, and your firm is not mentioned to anyone — including Practice Group — until you tell us to.

What actually moves the number?

How much of the income genuinely recurs, how dependent the clients are on you personally, the mix of compliance and advisory work, your staff, whether you have engagement letters in place, and how long you will stay to hand over. Several of those are fixable before you go to market, which is the main reason to call early.

Our connected buyer

Practice Group is one of the buyers.

Practice Group buys and runs accountancy practices, and it is part of the same group as Practice Brokers. Every broker in this market has favoured buyers. Most never mention it.

Rule us out on day one

Say the word and Practice Group never sees your file — and nothing else about how we work for you changes.

If we bid, we bid last

Practice Group sees no other offer before making its own, and every offer you receive is put in front of you in the same format.

Our fee is the same either way

We are paid identically whether you sell to Practice Group or to anyone else. There is nothing in it for us to steer you.
