I worked with Abbie and the team at Gunner & Co. to identify a list of possible firms that would suit our clients and the service they are used to receiving. There was a comprehensive document compiled to identify key highlights associated with the initial long list of firms. We spent time assessing each firm, with interviews arranged and hosted by Abbie with each of the eventual short-listed firms. We then worked with our favoured firm to create a client transfer process that would work for everyone, with Abbie and Louise being integral in making it all happen. I honestly couldn’t have done it without them! There are a lot of firms out there so seeking the best fit is almost impossible unless you have a broker like Gunner & Co. that can know pretty much instantly who would be right for you. They spared me time, effort, energy and stress to make the whole process simple.

Louise understood our business and aspirations completely to ensure best fit for us and our clients. Her knowledge of the market opened up a range of options we had not previously considered

Working with Gunner & Co. to sell my business was one of the best decisions I’ve made. From the very first conversation, their team demonstrated a deep understanding of the market and a genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me. They guided me through every stage of the process with clarity, professionalism and unwavering support. The valuation advice was insightful, the preparation work was meticulous, and their management of buyers was exceptional. I always felt informed, protected and confidently represented. Thanks to their expertise, the deal was completed smoothly and on strong terms. I couldn’t recommend Gunner & Co. highly enough to any business owner considering a sale.

From the first introductory phone call to the last messages of congratulations, we never once regretted our decision to use the services of Louise and her team at Gunner & Co. Louise not only gained a clear understanding of our business and how to promote it to potential buyers, but she quickly understood us as individuals, our values, aspirations and ambitions. With her extensive knowledge of, and expertise in, the M&A marketplace she provided straight talking, jargon free and timely advice and guidance throughout the process. We will forever be indebted to Louise for her constant availability, professionalism, honesty, reliability, good grace, patience, and humour, and on occasions for being the buffer for the inevitable frustrations which go with the territory of selling a business. We unhesitatingly recommend Louise and her team at Gunner & Co and wish everyone at the firm continued success.

Louise knows the market and was at all times efficient, helpful and responsive. As Gunner & Co. are paid by the buyer (I owned the vendor), I was mindful of the potential conflict of interest but at no time did I feel this was an issue. I'd be happy to recommend Gunner & Co. and Louise to any other advisory firm looking to find a buyer....

I used Gunner & Co for the sale of my business. They provided shortlists of potential purchasers which were fully in line with my requirements and throughout the transaction were professional, approachable and helpful. I would not hesitate in recommending them to advisers wishing to sell.

Gunner & co. are the best IFA broker by far. My experience in selling my IFA Practice with the help of Gunner & Co. has been second to none. Louise was kind enough to meet me face to face in London twice when I had started to think about succession including personally meeting my wife which helped put her mind at ease. I approached Josh from Gunner’s and told him about my requirements for the type of buyer I now wanted to engage with. Josh carefully took my needs and preferences into account and in very short order introduced me to six high quality firms who were interested in meeting with me. All the meetings were arranged seamlessly with Josh attending the initial meetings for support and I ultimately progressed with Skerritt’s who not only ticked all my boxes but moved the quickest to progress matters. I am pleased to say that we completed the sale to Skerritt’s at the end of November following a much shorter 9-month total timescale than my first experience. Having dealt with all the main UK IFA Brokers I found Gunner’s to be outstanding and I have no hesitation in recommending Louise and Josh as your first port of call if you are considering your options for your firm.

We’ve had a long relationship with Gunner & Co. which has resulted in a number of successful transactions. We’ve particularly appreciated how they understand our business and use this to bring opportunities which aligns the needs of both the buyer and the seller.

Gunner & Co. sourced the second acquisition for Lumin Wealth with the introduction of Everett Macleod which was a perfect fit for the types of businesses Lumin is interested in working with. Throughout the process the team at Gunner were extensively involved, so much so that we managed to complete the transaction within 3 months of the first meeting which is a testament to the assistance they provided throughout. I would recommend Gunner & Co to all prospective vendors.

John Cusins - Lumin Wealth

Having had a very poor experience with another broker previously I found Gunner and Co. to be everything I feel I needed. Gwill Evans in Bristol was my contact from start to finish, providing answers to my questions and to many more I didn’t realise I needed to ask! Gwill demonstrated an excellent understanding of the market from both a seller and buyer perspective. He helped the negotiating process in the most professional way and was always available to provide updates, information and reassurance.
