MAW Enterprise buys established UK businesses directly. When you speak to us, you speak to the decision maker.
Our Promise
We buy with our own capital. No third parties, no lengthy chains.
Your staff, suppliers and customers never need to know you're considering a sale.
We value on adjusted net profit — not inflated multiples that fall apart in due diligence.
What We Do
01 — Acquisition
We buy your business outright. Fast, clean, confidential. Zero fees paid by you.
02 — Advisory
Not ready yet? We help you increase value, reduce owner-dependency, and prepare for a premium exit.
03 — Consultancy
Helping other businesses and investors acquire and scale via acquisition. Deal origination, due diligence, structuring. Structure negotiable. Book a free call.
How It Works
Tell us about your business with no obligation.
We assess and give you a fair, honest valuation.
We agree the deal structure in principle.
Legal, clean, and on the timeline that suits you.
How We Work Together
Whether you're looking to sell, grow, or acquire — there's a starting point for you.
Discovery Call
No obligation. No sales pressure.
Sell-Side Advisory
Scoped and quoted after the first call, in writing. No two exits need the same work.
A free 15-minute call first. If it is worth going further you get a written proposal priced to the work — nothing is charged before you have seen it.
Buy-Side Consultancy
For investors & owner-operators. Scoped and quoted after the first call.
Direct acquisition carries no advisory fee — we're the buyer. All other services are scoped on the first call and quoted in writing.
💡 Advisory and consultancy fees are a deductible business expense, so the real cost to your business is lower than the figure on the proposal.

Tuesdays and Thursdays
There is very little out there on selling your own business, and almost nothing on growing by buying one. Mark buys UK businesses directly and advises owners through the same process, so this is the view from both sides of the table: how a buyer values your business, what knocks the price down, what happens to your staff, what the tax bill really looks like, and how a bolt-on acquisition can be faster than grinding out another ten per cent of turnover. Plain English, UK numbers, no course to buy.
