Business Partnership Testimonials
MBO’s are a difficult process and Paul helped us by being an expert and a counsellor, enabling us to negotiate hard but fairly with the vendors whilst maintaining the essential ongoing working relationship. We are now both excited about the opportunity we can deliver at Excelsior.
Excelsior Panelling Systems Ltd
When we first met, you helped us understand what we needed to do to find the best price and buyer for our company.
You helped us solve the issues, to understand our business and its value a lot more.
You helped us build a stronger business and the time taken to get this right cannot be underestimated in terms of the result achieved.
Once the business was on the market it was like a whirlwind. Within 6 weeks the sealed bid process delivered the buyer we preferred.
Throughout due diligence you remained at our side, guiding us, calming us down and helping resolve issues right up until the end. It was as stressful as you told us it would be – but the reward was worth the effort!
Without doubt we could not have achieved the sale we did without your input. With our heartfelt thanks,
Jason & Isobel Cooper, Pure Power Ltd
When we first asked Paul and Alex to sell our business, we did not think it would take so long.
However, Business Partnership always remained attentive, understood what was driving the business forward and what our key conditions were for a sale.
They were also not afraid to advise when to reject offers and protected our interests on more than one occasion.
In Dean we have found the right buyer, who will look after the legacy we have built and we would thank Paul and Alex for their persistence.
We can now enjoy our retirement!
Chris Taylor, M & C T Ltd
I had worked with Paul on an acquisition project some years ago, so when he approached me saying he had a buyer looking to buy in my sector, I figured it was worth a coffee! As it happened, my business was exactly what the buyer was looking for. He had also confirmed CRoWD were well funded and had strong core ethics, which became more important as the deal progressed.
Paul’s initial concern was about my goals for a sale – price, legacy, time. Setting these out early helped later in the sale to retain my focus when the inevitable challenges of any deal arose.
There is also real value in having Paul’s experience. He guided me through the challenges of an intense process. You will receive advice from many different parties and having someone to work through this with me, someone clearly on my side who understood my goals, helped me retain my sanity as we waded through the meetings, negotiations, legal advice, tax advice and due diligence.
I will happily recommend Paul and Uscita to any of my friends who are looking to sell.

We were introduced by our business consultant. Paul quickly got to grips with the various issues around the business, albeit I was not sure we could achieve the value Paul suggested.
On the basis we wanted a quick sale, we agreed a sale with lower target. However, the figure achieved was much nearer Paul’s assessment than ours, and he did fight for every pound. His advice on when to stand firm and when to compromise with the buyer was vital throughout the sale.
Thanks for your help in exceeding the family’s expectations.
