Jacob and Jack were exceptional during the sales process. Responsive and professional throughout and fully supportive. What should be a stressful event was made seamless. They both absolutely know their stuff! Very impressive.

Jacob Lord at KBS was very professional, responsive and commercial in all interactions. He understood all the key matters of the transaction and was helpful in achieving the end goal - which was to complete the transaction. Would recommend to any business owner.

Terrible - communication has stopped and despite emails, no one is replying. I have nothing good to say. Encouraged to put the business on the market - told it was likely to sell quickly and 3 years on no real interest. I have struggled to find the business on line - so not very well marketed/promoted. They took £2500 to market - but cannot see where it has been spent. The sales person overvalued the business to encourage the initial listing and fee. I have dropped the business by over 70%. Communication is so poor - please do not go with these people.

Incredibly helpful and quick to respond to any issues or queries I had during the initial stages.

Repeated spam letters to my work address telling me that my business is attractive to buyers and that they’ve recently sold similar businesses. Really?
I work for a charity.
Would suggest that KBS Corporate are unable to do even the most basic of research before wasting paper and my time.

I recently worked with Joe D. On a deal and he was great, proactive & diligent, a real credit to the company.
Thanks for everything Joe.

Selling a family business is one of the most important decisions in one's lifetime. I have to admit it was far more stressful than I envisaged. However, Nathan Leah our associate from KBS made the process more manageable, providing assurance every step of the way. What an asset to KBS. Nathan was able to negotiate diplomatically on our behalf during some difficult meetings. Nathan was reliable and would always return my calls at his earliest convenience and maintained professionalism at all times. The fee structure was very fair in comparison with some others and easy to understand. I would certainly recommend KBS for any business sales.

Spammers.
Could never deal with a company that spams.
Recently I used an email address for the first time to test out who I suspect was selling our data, and since we have been bombard by companies like KBS using our little to unknown .co.uk email address over the .com one.
Why would anyone deal with spammers?

Jasmine Almora has been a great helping in sourcing new opportunities for me. She was communicative, courteous and responsive to questions. Keep up the good work Jasmine!

Selling your company can be a massive decision. KBS explained the whole process and how they take it through each stage. They then allowed time to make the final decision to sell.
The whole process was transparent, detailed and efficient. The marketing was excellent, generating interest from the very beginning and the transaction process was managed excellently by Charlie Neville all in line with the agreed timescales. KBS provided reassurances along every step of the way.

Mari Stafford, did a great job of providing us with the relevant company information and documents promptly. Made my job a lot easier.

The completeness and accuracy of the document created was near perfect, first time around.
The subsequent revision cycle was very smooth and prompt.
Overall, the support throughout the document creation process was fantastic
