Experience the difference
If you are looking to buy a business, we will guide you through the process from start to finish. Once a confidentiality agreement is in place and your criteria and budget are established, we will present suitable opportunities as they become available. Each listing is supported by a detailed information memorandum outlining key business information, financials, lease terms, and professional imagery to provide a clear initial overview.

Selling Your Business
We make the process of selling a business straightforward and structured. We will arrange a meeting at your business, or at our offices if confidentiality is required, to gather key information and understand the operation. This typically includes ownership details, assets (tangible and intangible) and stock, financial accounts, lease terms and rent reviews where applicable, and staffing information. Using this information, we prepare a professional appraisal, applying at least two recognised valuation methods where appropriate.
First of all we will need to understand the reasons for the sale and gain an understanding of your preferred exit strategy. We also need to take an overview of the business in order to advise on the best way to structure the business for sale. Many businesses are placed on the market without any pre-planning at all. For example, is the success of the business reliant on the current owner? Is significant investment going to be required in the short term? For things like new plant, machinery or premises? Are there any agreements in place with suppliers or distributors? What are the relationships with key customers and suppliers?
Buying a Business
If you are an existing business seeking to grow market share by strategic acquisition, a private purchaser or an investor interested in buying a business we may be able to help.
You can simply register with us as a purchaser and we will make sure that you are informed of any existing suitable instructions we may have at the present time. We will also make sure you are alerted to all new instructions we receive that may fit your acquisition criteria.
