Senior Research Analyst

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. The Senior Research Analyst is crucial to the overall sales process and involves identifying and directly contacting potential buyers who may be interested in purchasing our Clients’ businesses. We use a bespoke, state‑of‑the‑art system to scour industry‑specific data, financial information, geographical indicators, etc. to fulfil our Clients’ approved research strategy. 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. Over time, you will build lasting relationships with key decision makers in major organisations across the UK and possibly worldwide. The successful candidate will receive full, ongoing training from an experienced team and earn commission as deals complete with your buyers.
