Sell your business

Retire to the sunny villa you bought ten years ago, where you never spend enough time because you have a business to run. Spend more time with your family. Take that cruise around the world. Bring down the golf handicap. Complete the university degree you started twenty years ago but never finished. What about not having the responsibility and constant demands of running a business?

Just a few of the things we've helped our clients achieve recently through the sale of their businesses. We'd like to help you too.

Selling a business can be one of the most financially rewarding experiences you ever undertake. It can also be the culmination of a lifetime’s work. The process is time consuming and demanding – with pitfalls all around. Getting it wrong costs considerable time, money and hassle. It can even undermine your value. You want to get it right..

We are amazed at the lack of judgement and care people often take when going about selling their business. That is why we want you to get in touch with us first, without cost or obligation, so we can explain both what is possible and what can be expected. We are often contacted by vendors who have either tried to sell their business themselves or through another broker or their accountant, without success. They have wasted month upon month. Often a few critical things had been overlooked.

Imagine the disappointment and frustration when nothing happens, let alone the delay to your future plans. This is of course all avoidable if you take the time to start off on the right footing.

Whether you want to sell your business today or in a few years time, you can never plan early enough. Maybe you already know what’s involved? Maybe you’re curious? Perhaps you’d just like to ask a few questions?

Whatever, your motivation, if you have adjusted NET profits in excess of £100,000 then we’d like to invite you to have a conversation with us, in an informal, relaxed, non-obligatory and confidential manner. We will cover:

  •    If your business is saleable?

  •    How to unlock the hidden value in your business.

  •    If you are prepared for a sale and why you should be.

  •    If now is the right time to sell?

  •    How to ensure you get a result.

  •    Insider facts: for example, the NEW Capital Gains Tax on the proceeds of a business sale. What are you eligible for?
