Selling your business is a big deal:
Even if things within the business are difficult, recognising it’s time to sell can still feel daunting. Your business is often so much more than just a way to earn a living - you likely committed money, a huge amount of time, and stuck your reputation on the line to create something to be proud of.
-
There’s a variety of reasons why people choose to sell. It could be to focus on other business interests, change your career entirely or to enable relocation, free up time to spend with loved ones or retirement. You might find it’s simply to banish the stress of increased running costs and the pressure of increased legislation. Whenever you decide it’s the right time to exit, and we’re here to chat about how we can make the transition as straightforward as possible.
-
Once you’ve decided it’s time to sell, the next step is thinking how to find the right buyer. You can approach other agents directly, or if you’re looking for support throughout selling your business, a broker could help.
Respected brokers The Haversley Group and Adam J Walker often match us to sellers on their books. They’ll offer you extra support throughout the process, which is reassuring to have if it’s your first time selling a business, and they’ll typically charge 2% of your overall sale fee for the service.
If you’re going direct, make sure your buyer has the means to back up their offer and experience of handling portfolio takeovers sensitively. We often find we’re the right match for those looking to sell to a big company with a small company feel. -
Only you can make the call as to whether or not your customers are going to the right place. Consider if you’d let the agent you’re selling to manage your own properties. Lettings is often a very personal game and it’s crucial to make sure your clients (who often become more like friends over the years) are looked after. Rest assured that we’re well prepared with a plan of action cultivated from our previous experiences that make it as straightforward as possible for everyone involved. Our standards and commitment to customer care will always remain high.
