At ONEtoONE, we advise business services companies and their shareholders on buy and sell-side M&A across the professional, outsourcing and administrative segments. We pair sector insight with rigorous valuation work and direct access to acquirers and private equity worldwide, turning market trends into concrete deal opportunities. From first approach to closing, we focus on maximising value, identifying the right counterparties and running a disciplined process in a market driven by digitalisation, consolidation and outsourcing.
We specialize in M&A across:
Non-discretionary services — compliance, maintenance, specialised logistics — deliver the recurring, contracted revenue buyers prize most, which in M&A translates into defensible valuations and steady demand from strategic acquirers and private equity through the cycle. ONEtoONE helps owners present that revenue quality to command a premium.
Tech-enabled services attract the highest multiples in the sector, as buyers pay up for software, automation and AI that turn labour-heavy models into scalable platforms. We help owners reposition their business as a tech-enabled asset and bring it to the buyers willing to reward that story.
A highly fragmented market makes business services prime territory for buy-and-build, where the strongest valuations are created. ONEtoONE sources the add-ons, platforms and capital to put you on the right side of consolidation — as buyer or as seller.
Rising costs and labour shortages keep pushing companies to outsource, underpinning long-term growth and sustained buyer appetite. We help providers scale into “one-stop shops” through targeted acquisitions, or realise full value by selling into that structural demand.
