About
A trusted partner for business sales and acquisitions
47 Partners is a specialist, independent business brokerage. We combine detailed preparation, focused buyer research, acquisition support and transaction management to help owners and buyers achieve the right outcome.
Our approach
Four things we do carefully
Understanding your objectives
We start with what you want from the next stage — timing, price, the future of your staff, your own involvement after a sale — because those things shape everything that follows.
Researching suitable acquirers
We research the market for buyers whose criteria genuinely fit the business, rather than circulating an opportunity widely and hoping.
Managing the transaction
We coordinate buyer conversations, offers, information requests and advisers so momentum is maintained from preparation through to completion.
Clear communication
You hear from us regularly, including when there is nothing to report. You deal with the same person throughout.
Professional standards
Clear advice, careful preparation and commercial focus
Our advice is grounded in the facts of each business. Valuations consider the full financial and commercial picture, potential buyers are researched carefully, and each transaction is managed around the priorities that matter to the client.
Team
Who you will work with
You deal with the same person from the first conversation through to completion.
Mohammed Zabwala
Founder & Director
Mohammed brings over a decade of experience helping institutional and retail investors assess investment opportunities and allocate capital. He founded 47 Partners to bring that investment perspective to business sales, combining rigorous analysis with a personal service for owners considering their next chapter.
He works directly with owners to understand the strengths of their business, identify suitable acquirers and negotiate commercial terms that reflect their objectives. His approach centres on considered valuations, targeted buyer outreach and close coordination with legal and accounting advisers.
Mohammed remains personally involved throughout each engagement, giving owners a direct point of contact from the initial conversation through to completion.
Understanding what makes a business valuable starts with understanding the person who built it.
