At KBS Corporate, part of K3 Advisory Group, we sell more companies than any other UK‑based company sales adviser. In 2025 alone, we have sold over 249 companies, which is 322 % more than the next closest UK adviser.

To be successful as a Research Analyst you will take an imaginative approach to each business, think outside the box when finding less obvious potential buyers, and communicate the advantages of the acquisition.

The successful candidate will receive full, ongoing training from an experienced team and earn commission as deals complete with your buyers.
