Buying a recruitment company can be a lucrative investment. Most firms have relatively low overheads, and agencies that specialise in specific sectors can be particularly profitable. Recruitment companies can also be easy to scale with the right technology, potentially leading to an excellent return on investment.
There is also good news if you have an employment agency to sell. The success and fast-moving nature of this sector means that recruitment businesses usually sell quickly. However, your ability to maximise your return will depend on the advice you receive along the way.
And that is where we can help. Whether you are buying or selling, as one of the UK’s leading business sales specialists, we can act on your behalf to value and market your business and help you research and negotiate the best deal. Call 0113 349 9840 or complete the contact form to discuss your recruitment business sales goals.
There are recruitment companies specialising in certain sectors or employment types, and those offering a more generalised recruitment service. Another consideration is whether to buy a leasehold or freehold business.
A leasehold recruitment agency operates from a property that it rents from the freeholder. Leasehold businesses typically have lower upfront costs, making them more accessible to a broader range of buyers. They also give you the flexibility to relocate, downsize or upsize when the current lease expires.

When you buy a freehold employment agency, you acquire both the business and the premises it operates from. You will have complete control over the building and benefit if its value increases. However, it will have greater upfront and ongoing costs.
“Recruitment businesses remain in high demand due to recurring revenue, strong client relationships, and scalable operations, making them highly attractive to buyers and a rewarding exit opportunity for established owners.”
Matthew Brannon

If you have a recruitment business for sale, one of the first steps is to arrange a professional valuation. Our RICS-accredited valuers will assess the trading potential of the agency by examining its gross profit, turnover, expenses and EBITDA. They will also consider the value of its assets, such as the premises and equipment, to determine an appropriate sale price.

Agencies that specialise in a particular sector or job function often have a strong reputation and can be more efficient and profitable. However, you must check that they have a sufficient client and candidate pool.
Agencies with strong, long-term client relationships and exclusive or retained contracts are a real positive. You should also ensure there is a committed and stable team, as well as a healthy level of revenue, profit, and cash flow.
