Knightsbridge Facilities Management Sector Insight 2026

What affects value

In the facilities management sector, valuations are influenced by a number of practical factors. These include the quality and length of contracts, the balance between hard and soft FM services, exposure to regulated sectors, technical capability, accreditations, geographic coverage and the strength of the management team.

Smaller, labour-intensive businesses typically achieve lower valuations, while businesses with strong contracted income and compliance-led services tend to attract stronger buyer interest.

Buyers place increasing emphasis on contract structure, systems, management depth and compliance capability.
