About Prism Corporate Broking

Prism Corporate Broking is a business broker, helping to buy and sell businesses. Operating from offices near Cambridge our services are nationwide covering counties from London and home counties, Cambridge, Suffolk and Norfolk in addition to Northampshire, Essex, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and further afield as needed. 

If you are an business owner manager looking to sell your business or acquire a business, we can help.  We typically work within the £0.5m to £10m turnover range.

Though we have experience in a wide range of sectors, we are increasingly focussing on the following:

• Information and Communication Technologies
• Marketing Communications (Marcomms)
• Leisure and Small Commercial Marine
• Other Sectors such as Engineering, Manufacturing, Consultancy etc

Prism is much more than just a ‘matchmaker’. We provide extensive advice on preparation for sale, business valuation, heads of terms, merger and acquisition, the identification and vetting of potential buyers or sellers, plus continued support and advice throughout the sale or purchase negotiations and transaction processes, including due diligence. We are well networked in the Corporate Finance world and have extensive databases to help identify new opportunities.

We strive to offer a highly personal service to our clients and are always mindful that for many (business sellers in particular) it may be the only time they ever go through such a process. Furthermore, the transaction may well be by far the biggest they ever undertake – not just in terms of consideration, but also in terms of emotional factors.  Accordingly, we recognise their need for a ‘partner’ in the process who can variously act as adviser, negotiator, advocate (occasionally the devil’s!) and confidant. We couple our experience, sector knowledge and personal commitment in order to represent our clients with appropriate rigour and gravitas whilst providing the continuity that can be lacking in practices handling high transaction volumes.

Our approach is always about getting the best M&A deal for each client dependent upon their individual requirements. This does not just mean the best headline figure, but is about getting the most appropriate deal structure also.

The team is headed by Peter Watson, a Chartered Accountant with extensive experience of mergers and acquisitions.
