About this session
Selling (or buying) an SME recruitment agency is rarely straightforward. Valuations can vary widely, deals often stall, and some transactions never complete. This confidential webinar provides a clear, practical overview of how SME recruitment agency transactions actually work — including how firms are valued, practical tips for increasing the value and why some recruitment agency deals fail.
The session is factual, experience-led, and designed to help you understand what to expect before entering discussions with a buyer or broker.
What we cover
- How recruitment agencies are actually valued — and where valuations fall down
- The types of buyers active in the market right now
- Typical deal structures, including cash payments, earn-outs, deferred consideration, and risk areas
- Why some recruitment agency transactions don’t complete
- What to do before you speak to a buyer or broker
Who this session is for
