Exitus Advisory & Brokerage

At Exitus Advisory, we support SME Recruitment Business Owners & Directors in all areas and throughout the journey of launching, scaling and operating their Recruitment Businesses. We work with them to help them structure their businesses to maximise profit and efficiency, ensuring strategies are appropriate to achieve their goals - whatever they may be. There are very few issues that arise in recruitment businesses that we haven't already dealt with, so we speak your language. From sales strategies to engagement, motivation to compliance, onboarding, L&D and performance management we've seen it all. We can support you with issues with poor new starter success rates, resolving issues caused by toxic people in the business, financial management, succession and exit plans.

Many of our clients are looking to achieve a sale and exit from their businesses either now or in the future.

Wider industry statistics suggest that less than 8% of owners achieve that goal. Having successfully built, sold, exited and with many years of industry experience, we'll work with you to ensure like us, you are one of the 8%!

With deep industry knowledge and a hands-on approach, we guide recruitment business owners through growth strategies, valuation, exit planning, and M&A transactions—ensuring they maximise value and achieve a seamless transition to life after the business, whatever that looks like. Whether you're looking to sell, acquire, or scale, we offer strategic insights grounded in real-world experience.

Unlike traditional brokers, we don’t just facilitate deals—we empower our clients with the insider knowledge, negotiation strategies, and operational improvements that drive real results. Our approach is discreet and strategic. We tailor every deal to each client, and to the unique challenges and opportunities of the recruitment industry.

Our support is delivered in a format that suits your needs - from one off reviews, to a regular programme of support and mentoring or NED services.

Initial consultations are entirely free of charge and without obligation.
