Acquisitions International is part of BCMS Corporate Ltd. BCMS was formed in 1987 by the current owners, Brian, David & Stephen Rebbettes.

In the early years BCMS was involved in establishing joint ventures and trading partnerships. Over the last decade however, BCMS has become a world leading specialist in the sale of privately owned businesses. 

The nature of the work BCMS was carrying out led to huge spin off demand from the acquirer. As a result, BCMS built up a strong track record of acquisition work as well as disposal.  In August 2003, the decision was taken to actively market an already proven acquisition head hunting service. Headed up by Dr Mike Sweeting, from the Northern office, Acquisitions International was launched.

The same trademarked methodology is used by both BCMS and AI to achieve the best possible negotiating positions for their clients. BCMS establishes a choice of potential purchasers for its clients (vendors) in order to achieve the best possible selling price. AI establishes a choice of potential targets for its clients (acquirers) in order to achieve the best possible purchase price.

AI and BCMS share research resources and head office functions (e.g. accounts, finance, human resources, IT, etc). The group employs approximately 150 personnel in total. Currently there are 3 offices in the UK (North, South and North West) and we have recently opened up in Manhattan, with plans to open a further 6 US satellite offices within the next five years. We have also built up a network of agents across various European markets.
