Looking to Buy a Business in Ireland ?

JC Business Sales can identify and confidentially approach suitable Irish businesses on your behalf — including businesses that may not currently be on the market.
Whether you simply need us to identify potential acquisition targets or want support through the entire transaction, choose the level of acquisition service that best suits your requirements.

A Different Way to Find a Business


Many good businesses are never publicly advertised for sale.
An owner may not be actively considering a sale, but may be prepared to have a confidential conversation when approached by a credible purchaser.
Our acquisition search service allows you to define exactly the type of business you are seeking. We then research the market, identify suitable businesses and — depending on the level of service selected — confidentially approach owners and develop potential opportunities on your behalf.


You tell us what you want to acquire. We search the market for it.

SEARCH

We identify businesses matching your criteria.

Suitable where you know the type of business you want to acquire but need help finding appropriate targets.

Includes:

  • Acquisition criteria discussion
  • Sector and market research
  • Identification of suitable businesses opportunities currently in market.
  • Placement on our internal "Buyer Prospect" confidential list.

Best suited to:
