"Boss Equity supported us in the sale of a non-strategic business unit in a highly focused and professional way. The project duration was about 9 months.
In all project phases - from preparation of promotional literature to outreach, utilising Boss Equity’ excellent network of potential buyers, throughout due diligence and deal moderation - we benefited from Boss Equity’ full spectrum of software industry and M&A expertise.
In addition, they exhibited good business practise, demonstrating pragmatism, transparency and strategic thinking in their work, which pretty much met our needs as a medium sized software company. The result fully met our expectation regarding valuation and we can therefore, highly recommend the services of Boss Equity."

“In early 2012, after 21 years of trading, the directors of Godiva Imaging Limited began to look into the potential of selling the business. We were aware of Boss Equity from several recommendations and, after a preliminary meeting with CEO, Mark Edwards, Boss Equity commenced representation for us.
Never losing focus of the value of the company to prospective buyers, Boss Equity quickly dismissed window shoppers and successfully concluded the sale to The PHS Group on October 4th 2012.
Throughout the whole process - Company Profile, outreach, negotiations, due diligence and sale completion - Boss Equity’ professionalism and ‘handholding’ was second to none.
With Boss Equity partnering the whole project, Godiva directors were free to spend more time on business development, thus increasing the turnover and profitability of the company, which was reflected in the final purchase price.
Following their exemplary professionalism and indefectible commitment, I would recommend Boss Equity to any buyer or seller within the marketplace.”

“Following a decision by the Filing Plus Board to sell our business, we contacted Boss Equity to assist in the transaction. Having known Mark Edwards, Boss Equity CEO, for a number of years, we believed he was best placed in the industry to not only act on our behalf within the marketplace but also, to ensure we received fair value for our business. During the sale there were two critical factors that had to be addressed; with one business partner exiting, his main focus was on the monetary settlement, whereas the partner who was to remain with the business, required the takeover company to be focused on supplementing existing business services.
Boss Equity created a comprehensive profile about Filing Plus and submitted it to potential buyers in the industry, generating interest from 19 organisations. Throughout the entire process we were accompanied by Boss Equity’ representatives and we eventually shortlisted 4 companies to progress. From the outset, Boss Equity were very clear with all interested parties about the expected sale price, thus ensuring that we sifted genuine interest from timewasters at an early stage.
A deal was signed in January 19th 2012 with the EDM Group who filled all criteria stipulated by Filing Plus partners.
Throughout the process, Boss Equity were supportive and their depth of experience within the industry, ensured that we located the right buyer at the right price. All facets of their work were exemplary, during what is generally a highly emotional time for sellers of a small business. I would have no hesitation in recommending Boss Equity’ services to other companies, whether buying or selling.”

“The people from Boss Equity listen and act in a direct way on their client’s instruction. They waste no time with red herrings, bringing only a small number of real contenders to the purchase process. This keeps the sale of business simple and the process quick, but most importantly, allows the vendor’s management to continue to grow the value of their sales proposition. In the case of Digital Vision this enabled our management team to add an extra slice of shareholder value after the sale as a result of balance sheet adjustments. This was entirely due to Boss Equity creating a very short and efficient sales cycle.”
Dennis Wright Managing Director of Digital Vision
