Questions About Selling

When a buyer indicates they want to make an offer, this needs to be in writing and in the correct format. Any verbal offers can become complicated, as they do not detail the terms and conditions of the offer. As part of our service we prepare a Sale and Purchase Agreement which details the offer being made, and the terms and conditions. We will liaise between both parties in the process of negotiation to facilitate agreement between both parties. In many situations we can recommend solutions to issues that may be of concern to either party. As a business owner you need to ensure you are protected by having the right clauses in the agreement and it is advisable to seek professional advice.

Most business owners want the sale of their business handled confidentially. For commercial reasons they don't want their competitors and suppliers to know they are selling. Once again this is the advantage of using a specialist business broker. We work with potential buyers through the various stages and you only meet with them at the final stages of the process. This leaves you to get on with business and keeps buyers away from calling or visiting you at work.

It's important to carefully manage the sharing of information throughout the sale process.

A business broker helps clients buy or sell businesses, acting as an intermediary to facilitate a smooth transaction by finding buyers/sellers, valuing businesses, and managing negotiations.

A broker has market expertise, a network of potential buyers, and experience negotiating deals, ensuring you get the best value with minimal hassle.

We use our network, online listings, industry connections, and marketing strategies tailored to your business’s profile.

We represent both buyers and sellers, depending on their needs.

Our fees are typically a percentage of the sale price, often ranging from 5-10%, depending on the size and complexity of the deal.

While we aim for the valuation price, market factors and buyer negotiations may influence the final sale price.
