SELLING BUSINESSES We handle the sale of businesses across the UK from all industry sectors.
SERVICES PROVIDED Prepare business sale information to emphasise all the right points.

Set an appropriate valuation. Advise on a realistic timescale.

Carry out extensive marketing to bring in more buyers, drive up the sale price and avoid poor terms and conditions.

Approach the right potential buyers rather than the wrong ones.

Obtain signed confidentiality agreements from all enquirers. Handle sale negotiations.

Manage due diligence. Structure sales in the most tax efficient way.

Draft heads of agreement. Draft non-compete clauses.

Manage the legal and other professionals involved in the sale to minimise delays and control fees.

Bring tenacity and extensive experience to ensure that the sale goes through to a successful completion.
MONTHLY FEES To market a business for sale we charge a monthly marketing fee of £500.

Monthly marketing fees include all marketing costs such as advertising, mailshots and prospect research. There are no additional monthly charges. 
SALE FEES On a successful sale we charge 5% of sale proceeds. For example on a sale of £1m our fee would be £50,000.

Sale fees are payable once the sale proceeds have been received by the seller. Sale fees are deductible prior to the calculation of capital gains tax.

In the case of a partial deferred payment the sale fee on the deferred portion of proceeds would only be payable once the deferred payment had been received by the seller.
