Clear unbiased advice
When prospective purchasers come across a business they are interested in the last thing they want is an adviser who encourages them along for the wrong reasons. What they need is someone who takes a good clear overview of the situation and can come up with a clear strategy to ensure success.

It happens and it will continue to happen. Even the mult-nationals get it wrong and they have huge resources to help them with their due diligence!

Why can’t you find a quality business?
Finding a good quality business is not easy. If they are highly successful they are often approached by prospective purchasers or sold to family or friends. After all who doesn’t want a successful profitable business? Finding such a business is often painstaking. The market place is full of adverts for businesses for sale with “great potential” (which sometimes means they have failed to reach their potential and never will). We can help prospective purchasers avoid wasting their time.

Take your time
Believe it or not, we rarely come across businesses that are ready to sell. This may sound strange but it is in no-ones interests marketing a business that is not "sale ready". We have developed a process to ensure businesses are made ready.
Anyone can "advertise" or send thousands of "spam" emails to notify others about a business for sale but our approach is discreet and we market the business in a highly confidential manner. We have access to comprehensive databases and professional networks allowing us to work with you to identify the best targets for your business.
You save on costs, avoid long term exclusivity contracts, avoid paying up front fees and avoid over-zelous sales pitches. This is why professional firms choose us to advise their clients.
So if you want to know how we helped negotiate a sale of a just a company name from an offer of around £15,000 to £700,000 just have a look at our case studies.
