What shall I consider when buying or selling a corporate business?
It is critical that you feel well-informed whether you are hoping to acquire or sell a corporate business.
Buyers should think about the financial health of the firm, including profitability, debts and revenue. They should also consider industry trends, market demand, legal obligations and existing contracts.
Sellers, on the other hand, must bear their valuation and pricing strategy in mind. Knowing where to find your financial statements and documentation is also important if you are hoping for a faster sale. Finding the right buyer and your tax implications are other considerations you should remember.
A successful business sale or purchase requires expert negotiation, strategic planning and thorough due diligence to ensure both parties achieve their goals. We do all of this for you for total peace of mind.

Be sure to read our latest news to see what we have sold recently and read our reviews to learn about how we have helped others in the past.We have owned and run Bootle Stores & Post Office for 40 years. When we decided to retire a few years ago, we tried a couple of Business Transfer agents to sell our freehold business, but to no avail, that was until we were contacted by Ernest Wilson from Leeds. Robert, the owner, gave us an honest appraisal of our business and within days, our village shop business was on the map, complete with a full coloured and informative brochure supported with guidance from Stuart and his knowledgeable & professional team. They managed to sell our business even during the Covid-19 pandemic. We paid when our business was sold - no monies upfront. I would certainly recommend Ernest Wilson.
