BTG facilitates MBO acquisition and corporate carve-out of global language services business

BTG has facilitated the acquisition of a global language services agency (“the Company”) via a management buyout (MBO).

M&A Partner Gunjal Patel, from BTG’s Deal Advisory team, advised the management team through the acquisition process, which completed on 4th September 2026. Details of the transaction are undisclosed. 

Over a number of years, the business has established itself as a trusted partner to internationally recognised brands, helping organisations engage audiences across multiple languages, markets, and cultures through high-quality language and content services. The deal has seen the Company’s CEO take a majority stake in the group from former parent company and prominent US-listed conglomerate. 

The buyout of the group, which offers language services from offices in the UK and USA, will provide the leadership team with a strong platform for growth as an independent agency. 

BTG worked closely with Ben Gale at Quastels LLP who advised on the legal aspects of the transaction. 

CEO at the Company, said:

“This acquisition sees us entering an exciting new chapter as we continue to grow and develop, bringing our market-leading talent, technology, and multilingual services to clients across the globe. 

From the very first call, Gunjal was a real pleasure to work with. He provided clear, measured advice and was incredibly patient in explaining M&A nuances. He was available at a moment's notice when things took a (frequent) unexpected turn. And he was a real partner throughout the process - I felt he had my back all the way and he was invaluable in getting the outcome we wanted. I hope to be able to work with him again in future.”

Gunjal Patel, M&A Partner at BTG, said:

“We are pleased to have been able to advise on this acquisition. Building on a number of successful years and partnerships with leading blue-chip customers, the deal provides a solid foundation for long-term growth as an independent group and we wish the team the best of luck into the future. This deal further demonstrates BTG’s proven track record in advising and executing complex carve-out transactions with hands on project management. It was a real pleasure to have advised the CEO alongside Ben Gale and the other advisors.”
