Matt Bull of ActionCOACH Loughborough, a respected Scale and Exit Business Coach with extensive experience helping entrepreneurs grow and strategically exit their businesses, is pleased to announce the expansion of its services to include certified business brokerage following a partnership with Businesses For Sale.

Recent data highlights a growing trend, with nearly half of UK business owners aged 55 and above now considering selling their businesses due to the compounded financial pressures and uncertainties. The expansion of Matt’s services comes in response to significant market changes affecting older business owners, many of whom had planned to retire by now.

Economic factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine have delayed retirement plans, leaving many entrepreneurs searching for viable exit strategies. The demand for professional guidance in business sales has surged as owners seek to navigate these challenges and secure their retirement.

As a trusted advisor in the business community, Matt has spent years guiding clients through the complexities of scaling their operations, optimising performance, and preparing for profitable exits. This new brokerage certification allows him to provide an even higher level of service, directly facilitating the sale of businesses by connecting sellers with qualified buyers, negotiating favourable terms, and ensuring a smooth transition.

By becoming a certified business broker, Matt is stepping up to meet the growing demand for professional assistance in navigating these challenging times, helping business owners achieve the retirement they’ve worked so hard for, despite the unexpected obstacles. Matt explains:

“I am excited to take this next step in my career, expanding my services to include business brokerage. Over the years, I’ve seen many business owners struggle with the complexities of selling their businesses. As a broker, I can now directly assist in this process, ensuring that my clients not only achieve their desired financial outcomes but also feel confident that their businesses are in capable hands moving forward.”

Matt’s reputation as a trusted Scale and Exit Coach has been built on a foundation of integrity, expertise, and a deep commitment to client success. This new role as a business broker is a natural extension of his dedication to helping entrepreneurs achieve their goals, whether that’s scaling to new heights or making a successful exit.
