About these terms
These terms apply to your use of this website and to any correspondence you have with Brand + Bloom about a possible acquisition, partnership, or introduction. By using the site or contacting us, you accept them.
Brand + Bloom is a business acquisitions company based in the United Kingdom. In these terms, "we", "us", and "our" mean Brand + Bloom; "you" means the person or business using this site or contacting us.
We may update these terms from time to time. The version published here is the one that applies.
No offer or advice
Nothing on this website is an offer to buy or sell a business, an invitation to invest, or a commitment to enter into a transaction. Any acquisition is subject to due diligence, agreement on terms, and a signed written contract. Until that contract is executed, neither party is bound.
Nothing on this site is financial, legal, tax, or accounting advice, and it should not be relied on as a substitute for professional advice. We are not authorised to give regulated financial advice. Before making a decision about selling your business, take independent advice from your own accountant and solicitor. We will always encourage you to do so.
Investment criteria are indicative
The criteria published on this website — including revenue, profitability, team, transition period, ownership, and geography — describe the kind of business we typically look for. They are guidance, not a guarantee. Meeting them does not oblige us to make an offer, and falling outside them does not mean we will not talk to you. Every business is assessed on its own facts.
Enquiries and confidentiality
We treat every enquiry as confidential and will not disclose that you have approached us. How we handle the information you send is set out in our Privacy Policy.
Please do not send confidential financial statements or other sensitive documents with a first enquiry. Contact us and we will put a mutual non-disclosure agreement and a secure route in place. Information you send before an NDA is signed is received in confidence but is not covered by a formal confidentiality agreement.
Where you approach us as a broker or intermediary, any fee arrangement must be agreed in writing before an introduction is made. We do not accept liability for fees claimed on introductions that were not agreed in advance.
Accuracy of information
We take care to keep this website accurate and current, but we do not warrant that it is complete or free from error, and content may change without notice. Statistics quoted on this site about business ownership, succession, and founder transitions are drawn from published research on the small and medium enterprise market and are included as general context, not as a representation about any particular business or market.
You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you give us about your business. We rely on it in deciding whether to progress a discussion.
Using this website
You may use this site for lawful purposes connected with a genuine business enquiry. You must not misuse it — including by introducing malicious code, attempting to gain unauthorised access, scraping content at scale, or using contact details published here to send unsolicited marketing.
We may withdraw or restrict access to the site, or decline to correspond further, at our discretion.
Intellectual property
The Brand + Bloom name, logo, wordmark, and the text, layout, icons, and photography on this site are owned by us or used under licence. You may read and print pages for your own use in considering a transaction with us. You may not reproduce, republish, or use our branding or content commercially without our written permission.
Third-party links
Where this site links to another organisation — a regulator, a professional body, or a social platform — we do so for convenience. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content or their handling of your data.
Liability
To the extent permitted by law, we exclude liability for any loss of profit, loss of business, or indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of this website or from reliance on its content. Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.
Where a transaction proceeds, the liability of each party is governed by the signed transaction documents, not by these terms.
Governing law
These terms, and any dispute arising from them or from your use of this website, are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
