Considering what comes next?

You do not need to have decided to sell before speaking with us. Many owners begin thinking about succession, continuity or a future transaction long before they begin a formal process.

Start with the future you want

Our first conversation is about the business, what makes it valuable, what you want to protect and the role you would like after a transaction. It is not a presentation and it does not require a prepared sales process.

Confidentiality

Initial enquiries are handled directly by Bilal Mahmood and Hira Zainab. More detailed information is shared only through an agreed process, and only with the people required to evaluate or progress the opportunity.

Please do not send transaction documents or highly sensitive information through the enquiry form. We will arrange an appropriate secure method if further information is needed.

What we typically look for

These characteristics describe a fit rather than set a threshold. If you are not sure whether they describe your business, write to us anyway.

The business

Established software companies with a clear and defensible market position.

Vertical market software, or specialist horizontal software with strong industry characteristics.

Recurring or highly repeatable revenue and durable customer relationships.

The fit

Products that matter to customers’ day-to-day operations.

Sustainable financial performance, or a credible path supported by the underlying business model.

Owners seeking a responsible long-term home rather than a short-term financial sponsor.

Who we speak with

Founders and family owners

We understand that ownership, family interests and management responsibilities may overlap. These situations do not need to be simplified before an initial conversation.

Advisers

We provide a clear view of fit, process and timing so you can determine whether an introduction is worthwhile.

Corporate sellers

We consider software carve-outs where continuity for customers, employees and products is an important part of the transaction.

What an initial conversation is

A direct discussion with senior Boson representatives.
An opportunity to understand each other’s objectives and assess potential fit.
A conversation that can remain exploratory until both sides choose to progress.
A point at which either side can decide not to continue.

What it is not

A request for a pitch deck or full data room.
A commitment to sell or to make an offer.
A public or competitive process created by Boson.
Permission to circulate sensitive information beyond an agreed evaluation team.

Thinking about succession?

The beginning does not need to feel like a process.

You do not need to have decided to sell. You do not need a data room. You do not need to present the business to us. An initial conversation is simply a way to understand whether our long-term approach matches what you want for the company.
