About Us
Black Swan Strategy is a boutique business brokerage focused on clean transactions, credible buyers, and professional preparation. We combine financial discipline with commercial readiness to create businesses that command stronger valuations and attract the right acquirers. Our fee structure is simple and aligned with performance. Upfront preparation begins at 1.5% of turnover, scaling down to 0.5% for larger businesses. On successful completion, we charge a 3% success fee — meaning our incentives are tied to your result, not the process.
Only 20%
of private companies taken to market actually sell each year, meaning 80% fail to sell or are sold below their desired value! 'Not with BlackSwan'

what our client says about Business Broker UK
I love my work, not a day goes by without meeting a business owner or an exec who needs to accelerate their learning, or wants to get clarity around their goals and build a plan to reach them. Simply put I have found my why and through the medium of coaching and mentoring my role is to bring you to the life of your dreams.
Simon Ellson
Head of Strategy & Leadership Coach
Coming from 17 years in the South African AirForce, followed by years in large international corporations, you could say I’ve seen it all. My recent years in the coaching world have truly provided the most inspiring and motivating environment you could wish for. Some call me the ‘no nonsense coach’ and this is what brings results
