How much does your service cost?

We carry out a marketing valuation of your business without any cost. If you decide to market your business through us, we operate a competitive pricing structure which means you only pay if we sell your business. Our valuer will advise you on the fees, which are dependent on the type and size of your business.

How do we know they are the right person to buy my business?

We vet all purchasers to ensure they are stable and able to commit to a purchase. We always seek proof-of-funds to ensure prospective purchasers can access the capital they require to see the sale all the way through.

Which industry sectors do you work with?

We are sector agnostic, and the chances are have sold a business that is similar in some way to yours. Our team of valuation experts work with data from multiple sources, and have lots of comparable business sales to work with.

How long will it take to sell my business?

Our valuation expert will advise you on timescales. If you need a quick exit, there are several options available. If you aren’t in a rush, we could sell your business at a premium.

Where do you advertise?

We advertise on the EM&F website, Daltons, BusinessesForSale, RightBiz, PrimeLocation, Zoopla Commercial, Social Media and carefully selected publications. We also market your business to the thousands of registered members in our business seeker database.

Can you sell my business confidentially?

Absolutley. We often sell businesses without revealing the true identity, until we have the prospective purchasers complete a legally binding non-disclosure agreement. We can even go as far to seek permission to disclose information on a per-applicant basis.
