Investing in Business Excellence
At Budden Group, we recognize that a business acquisition transcends mere transactional dealings for the business owner. It's a journey steeped in meticulous planning, mutual trust, and anticipation. Entrusting a stranger to carry forward your former aspirations while paving the way for your new ones involves profound significance.
Business owners opt to sell their enterprises for a multitude of reasons. Some seek retirement, while others yearn to pursue newfound passions. Many simply crave change, eagerly seeking relief from aspects of their once-beloved venture that no longer align with their professional or personal aspirations.
Irrespective of the motivation, the team at Budden Group understands that business owners embark on the acquisition process not merely to procure services, engage in discussions, or endure an interminable ordeal. Rather, they seek change promptly, driven by the imperative for transformation.
The experienced team at Budden Group pledges unwavering commitment to guiding business owners towards their next venture, whatever that may entail. Through our streamlined closing procedures and established partnership opportunities, Budden Group empowers business owners to create and embrace the life they desire.

Our Simple 3 Step Process
Discovery
Sellers provide their information and financials to the Budden Group (BG) team, requesting an initial seller’s discovery call. Achieving acceptance for this call with BG indicates strong potential for a successful exit. Only 6.8% of businesses that contact BG proceed to this stage.
The discovery call, a pleasant and straightforward discussion between the business owner and BG team members, serves to delve deeper into the business and assess the feasibility of acquisition. During the call, BG focuses on two key questions: What are the seller's desires, and can BG fulfill them?
Valuation
Valuation is crucial for assessing a business's value, ensuring fairness in acquisitions. Budden Group (BG) calculates valuation by multiplying EBIDTA or SDE by an industry multiple, considering additional factors like market data, competitors, and assets.
During this stage, BG gathers and validates data to justify the company's valuation, while the business owner can provide any supplementary data. Half of the businesses entering the discovery phase progress to completing the valuation process.
Offer
Making an Offer: Once BG understands the business and determines a fair valuation for it, the final phase is to present the offer to the business owner.
The offer can consist of an acquisition, a partnership, or a combination of both. Acceptance of an offer from the business owner means that the business owner can expect a closing within weeks, sometimes even days -- not months.
Budden Group offers:
Acquisitions
The dynamic team at Budden Group is dedicated to fostering mutually beneficial deals for both business sellers and investors.
Our acquisition process unfolds in three efficient phases, with closings typically completed within days or weeks, rather than months. We collaborate closely with business owners to determine a fair valuation and execute an exit strategy tailored to their requirements.
Partnerships
The proactive team at Budden Group introduces the Growth Acquisition Partnerships (G.A.P.) Partner Program, leveraging our expertise to assist business owners.
Through personalized attention, we tackle specific business challenges, preparing owners for successful exits within an aggressive timeline. The G.A.P. Partner Program offers flexible options such as monthly investments, equity release, or a blend of both for consistent progress.
Investments
The seasoned professionals at Budden Group facilitate top-tier acquisitions for investors. Our rigorous vetting process ensures only the most promising opportunities advance (just 6.8% of businesses reach phase one).
Post-acquisition, we remain committed to enhancing the investment's value, ensuring investors gain lucrative assets yielding significant ROI, not burdensome commitments.
Consulting
We can consult with you around growing your business, exiting, and streamlining operations.
For more traditional fees or for equity-based partnerships.
