Last updated: 14 October 2026.

1. Who we are

This website is operated by SC Business Broker UK Ltd, trading as SC Business Brokers, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 17347398, with its registered office at Building 7, 566 Chiswick High Road, Level 5, Chiswick Business Park, London W4 5YG. In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to SC Business Broker UK Ltd. SC Business Broker UK Ltd is the data controller in respect of personal data for which it determines the purposes and means of processing. Independent solicitors and other professional advisers may act as separate data controllers in relation to services provided under their own engagements.

If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your data, contact us at office@sc-brokers.com or +44 7899 922099.

2. What data we collect

• Contact details you submit: for example your name, phone number and email address when you use our call-back form or contact us.
• Questionnaire information: the business, financial and preference details you choose to provide in our valuation (“sell”) and acquisition (“buy”) questionnaires.
• Files you upload: any documents you attach to a questionnaire.
• Identity and due diligence information: where applicable and reasonably necessary in connection with a proposed business transaction, we may collect information to verify the identity and authority of sellers, buyers and their representatives, assess transaction risks and comply with applicable legal obligations. This may include names, dates of birth, addresses, identity documents, company records, beneficial ownership information, evidence of available funds and, where appropriate, source of funds or wealth information and relevant screening results.
• Technical and usage data: such as IP address, browser type and pages visited, collected through cookies and similar technologies, as described in our Cookie Policy.

3. How and why we use your data

• To respond to your enquiries and call-back requests.
• To prepare a business valuation estimate and to provide brokerage services you request.
• To match buyers and sellers and to communicate with you about opportunities.
• To carry out identity verification, transaction due diligence and appropriate screening, where necessary to comply with applicable legal obligations, prevent fraud or assess and manage transaction-related risks.
• To operate, secure and improve this website.
• To comply with other legal and regulatory obligations.

4. Legal basis for processing

We process personal data where necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract or to perform a contract with you (Article 6(1)(b) UK GDPR); to pursue our legitimate interests in operating and protecting our brokerage business, preventing fraud and assessing transaction risks, where those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms (Article 6(1)(f)); to comply with legal obligations applicable to us (Article 6(1)(c)); or on the basis of your consent where consent is the appropriate lawful basis.

Where identity verification or due diligence checks are required by applicable law, we process the relevant information to comply with those obligations. Where such checks are undertaken for legitimate fraud prevention or transaction risk management purposes, we may rely on our legitimate interests, subject to an appropriate assessment.

Where we process personal data relating to criminal convictions or offences, we do so only where permitted by Article 10 UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, including any applicable Schedule 1 condition.

5. Sharing your data

We do not sell your personal data. We may share relevant information within the Savitskiy Consulting group where necessary for legitimate and specified business purposes, and with service providers such as hosting, email, analytics and identity verification providers, subject to appropriate data protection arrangements.

We may also share relevant personal data with prospective buyers, sellers, independent solicitors, accountants and other professional advisers where reasonably necessary to progress a transaction, subject to an appropriate lawful basis and, where applicable, confidentiality arrangements.

We may disclose personal data to HM Revenue & Customs, the National Crime Agency, courts, law enforcement authorities or other competent bodies where required or otherwise permitted by law. In certain circumstances, the law may restrict the information we are permitted to disclose about such reporting.

6. International transfers

Because we work across the United Kingdom, the European Union and Ukraine, your data may be transferred between these regions. Where personal data is transferred outside the United Kingdom, we will ensure that an appropriate transfer mechanism or lawful exception applies, including, where relevant, UK adequacy regulations, the International Data Transfer Agreement, the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or another mechanism permitted by UK data protection law.

7. How long we keep your data

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described above and to meet legal obligations, after which it is securely deleted or anonymised.

Where the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 apply to our activities, relevant customer due diligence records will be retained for the period required by Regulation 40, generally five years following the end of the business relationship or completion of the relevant transaction, subject to applicable statutory exceptions and deletion requirements.

Other personal data will be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including compliance with applicable law and the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

8. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. Some rights, such as the right to erasure, are limited for records we must keep by law. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at office@sc-brokers.com.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk, 0303 123 1113). You may contact us at office@sc-brokers.com if you would like us to address your concern directly. This does not affect your right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at any time.
