About Acquisition criteria template

Why this site exists
We read 23 providers' own pages on 28 October 2026 and only 2 of them print a figure, so the only way to see the spread is to read all of them and show the working. That is what this site is: one table, every source named, dated.
Who it is for
Buyers, search funds and companies planning acquisitions in the UK who want to write down their acquisition criteria before they speak to brokers or owners.
What is on this site
One question, "acquisition criteria template", answered with a quote form that works on the page with no account, 4 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.
- UK Acquirer Criteria Board: every published figure: Every provider we read that publishes a figure for acquisition criteria template, what it publishes, and the day we read it. 3 of 23 read.
- Who publishes a price, and who makes you ask: 2 of 23 providers read for acquisition criteria template publish a figure. These are the ones that do not.
- Acquisition criteria: the fields a UK buy box needs: Acquisition criteria for buying a UK business: the sector, area, revenue and EBITDA band, ticket size, control and structure fields, and what UK investors publish.
- Buy box template: write your acquisition criteria in one page: A buy box template for UK acquisitions: one line per field, and the legal thresholds (CMA merger control, the National Security and Investment Act) a buy box should note.
What it does not do
- No ranking, no best-of list and no scores: the table is sorted by the figure, not by us.
- No paid placement, no affiliate links and no sponsored rows.
- No invented figure: a provider that publishes nothing is listed as publishing nothing.

This is a free information site run by Joseph Ellul. When you send a brief, he reads it and replies to you himself; it is not passed to any broker or firm, and you pay nothing to ask. The site carries no advertising, no sponsored placement and no affiliate links, and no firm in a table has paid to be there. Every figure is read from the named firm's or authority's own public page on the date shown. Nothing here is tax, legal, regulated or investment advice; check the source before you rely on a row.
