Why work with Fryer?
Your priorities.
A personal approach.
Selling starts with understanding your options. We bring research, relationships and a direct point of contact to that first conversation.
Advisers suited to your business
Explore introductions shaped around your sector, business size and objectives. You decide which adviser to appoint and agree their terms directly.
A broader view of buyers
Our own research software helps identify and rank potential buyers, giving the conversation a researched starting point.
Control over what is shared
Begin with a non-confidential overview. We agree recipients, permissions and any confidentiality arrangements before sharing more.
A clear fee arrangement
No fee to you,
the selling owner.
The selling owner pays Fryer Origination nothing. We are paid by the businesses we work with from an agreed share of their fees, only when the deal completes.
Any fees charged by an appointed adviser, solicitor or other provider are agreed separately with you. We explain our proposed remuneration before an introduction.
Different ambitions. A shared starting point.
