We exist to support business owners.

Our beginning

From kitchen table to nationwide trust.

Like many great businesses, Barnsgate Solutions began at the kitchen table, not in sleek offices or with big budgets, but driven by a simple conviction: that business owners selling their company deserve better.

In those early months, our “office” rotated between a spare bedroom, the kitchen table, and the occasional local business hub. We took calls, built spreadsheets, and mapped strategy between coffee runs all while balancing family life with a fierce commitment to our clients.

Today, we’ve grown, but our mission hasn’t changed. We’re now a team of five,
based in a dedicated head office in the historic town of Battle, East Sussex,
complete with meeting rooms, collaboration space, and everything we need to
deliver exceptional service to business owners across the UK.

From humble beginnings to a trusted national presence, Barnsgate Solutions still stands for what started it all: doing great work for good people, every step of the way — a commitment recognised through multiple industry awards, including Best SME M&A and Exit Consultancy – UK
