Testimonials

We have known the team at Knight for many years, and they have always been there when we have needed informal advice on various strategic opportunities. When we decided to undertake a formal process we already had an appreciation of their sector knowledge, and they knew Zest4 and our culture. It was clear that Knight had strong relationships at CEO level with every party we wanted to include in the process and were able to deliver a genuinely diverse range of offers from some fantastic businesses.

When I decided to sell my business, a friend recommend Knight as a good company to carry out the search for a buyer. They stood out from the other companies I looked at and charged a very fair fee structure. During the sale, the team did a fantastic job from day one. I sold on exactly the terms I wanted and in a very short timescale. I would recommend Paul and his team to anyone selling their business.

From our initial discussion through to completion the team at Knight were first class in attitude, sector expertise, execution, and balanced the deal intricacies with surgical precision whilst navigating the inevitable complexities of the transaction as it approached its conclusion. Taking your business to market is an exciting and daunting prospect. There are so many areas it can fall down or fail, not to mention impacting your ability to run the organisation. From the start they showed their capability, excellence and professionalism, constantly demonstrating expertise, knowledge and an ability to deliver in every scenario, always, with calm and considered poise. For me having been on both sides of M&A over the years, the Knight CF team truly operate a cut (well) above. I couldn’t recommend them enough – not to mention they are thoroughly decent people.

Knight CF were the perfect partners to see us through the process of selling our business. We met with numerous advisors and selected Knight CF because they were experts in our sector and able to prove a successful track record of completed sales. Plus, and this is a big one, we liked them. This was important, as throughout the process we spent many hours with them. We worked closely with Dom Lillie, who was professional and calm, always willing to work with our other advocates and go in to bat for us to negotiate with the buyer advisors. Dom’s financial knowledge and experience helped us to fully understand the implications of the agreed offer structure and the deal unfolded exactly as Dom had advised us it would, with the funds flowing accurately and correctly. I can highly recommend Knight and we would not have wished to have had anyone else by our sides to get us across that all important finishing line. Thank you, Knight!

Knight took the time to understand our business and they used their industry knowledge and contacts and highlighted a number of different options that we did not realise were available to us. Knight identified YFM as an investor with significant experience supporting management teams in the TMT sector. They managed an intensive process and they were instrumental in getting this deal to complete.
