Business sales: Get the most from your business!


Selling your business is something that you will do only once or, at most, a few times, in your lifetime. It is a one-off opportunity to crystallise many years of hard work, and naturally every seller wants to achieve the very best price for their business. We have a detailed understanding of what drives business values for all types of buyer and can help you prepare your business to maximize its appeal and subsequent worth. Our extensive register of buyers means that we have multiple suitors for almost any kind of business.

“Best price” aside, the sale of any business is a complex process, with regulations, approaches, preferences and prices changing daily. Add to this the emotional and mental strain of selling your business whilst trying to hold down the "day-job" and it is easy to see where else we can be of help to you.

We believe that achieving the best deal for you requires more than the production of a simple "Estate agent style", two-page, flyer!

Consequently we offer what we call a "Full line" service. In effect this means we can help you every step of the way.


A typical sales transaction could involve the following steps-



  • Initial deliberation on whether to sell or not (we'll help, even if this means convincing you not to sell)
  • Assessment of potential market and decision on marketing strategy (Full open market or select targeted approach)
  • Creation of an appropriate dossier of information to supply to potential purchasers (the better quality the information supplied to buyers, the less they will factor risk into their valuation of your business)
  • Creation and management of a structured tender or offer framework
  • Promotion to potential buyers and coordination subsequent requests for information, visits etc
  • Collation of all expressions of interest and assessment with vendor
  • Decision whether to proceed or not
  • Creation and signature of offer letter or letter of intent
  • Co-ordination of the provision of information required by the purchaser to satisfy his/her Due Diligence enquiries
  • Support and negotiation on detailed terms of sales contract

Our fees vary depending on the type/size of business sold but, whatever the business, we guarantee that they are market-leading.


*Whilst our experience allows us to help and input at all the above stages, our scope does not extend to that of professional legal or financial advisor. Where required, we advise, and can recommend, the services of a specialist
