OUR APPROACH

Built for pest control business owners.

Pest Control Business Sales was created to serve a gap in the market: pest control business owners who deserve a broker that truly understands their sector.

We know the difference between a business running six BPCA-accredited technicians on residential callouts and one managing 80 commercial pest management contracts across the Midlands. We understand why CEPA certification matters, how NPTA membership transforms a valuation, and why the consolidation wave now reaching SME operators is creating the most significant acquisition opportunity in the sector's history.

Our approach is simple. We take the time to understand your business properly, position it correctly, and then create competitive tension among qualified buyers. We do not rush the process. We do not take shortcuts. And we never compromise on confidentiality.

We are part of the Reads Advice Partners network, which brings broader M&A expertise and a nationwide buyer register. But our focus is singular: pest control businesses.

Simon Read, Managing Director of Pest Control Business Sales

Simon Read manages the Pest Control Business Sales division, working directly with every client from initial conversation through to completion. There is no sales team. There are no junior analysts running your deal.

When you call, you speak to the person who understands your industry, has access to the buyer network, and will manage your sale from start to finish. Simon knows the difference between a business with 200 commercial pest management contracts and one running residential callouts with a small team. He understands how BPCA membership changes a valuation, why CEPA certification matters to PE buyers, and what the current consolidation wave means for independent pest control owners looking to exit.

This direct, personal approach means nothing is lost in translation. Your business is positioned accurately, your concerns are heard by the person making decisions, and you always know exactly where you stand in the process.

Former Owner, Pest Control business, South East

I had spoken to generalist brokers before. Simon was the first who actually understood the pest control sector and spoke my language.

Former Owner, Pest Control business, Midlands

The process was discreet from start to finish. None of my clients or staff knew I was selling until completion day.
