March Update

So at last the election has been called for May 6th and I suspect that the financial markets will begin to accelerate in anticipation of the new government making concrete announcements on exactly what they intend to do to reduce the deficit once they are elected. And really, I think that is all the certainty we need in order to get on with our lives and continue rebuilding our businesses after the last two years of doom and gloom, much of which has been penned by the political parties to suit their own ends.
Last month we achieved our highest priced business sale for over two years and we are continuing to see improvements in sales values and buyer confidence. Rather surprisingly we are also seeing the appearance of some very confident vendors who have decided that prices are going to rise in the near term and are knocking back offers we have procured at their asking prices. To be perfectly honest I do not see any significant asset price increase happening any time soon. Buyers will continue to be wary and will be very cautious about being sold a lemon and over-paying. (If you were buying a business, how would you be feeling at the moment?).
We are just finalising some updates to our website in order to keep it looking fresh. We are also about to start running a Business Advice Centre through the website where you will be able to see answers to questions from our experts on everything from employment issues through to the cost and benefit of a search engine optimisation programme. I hope that you will find these Q&A’s useful to you in the running of your business. You will also be able to email our experts direct if you want further answers to particular questions. If you have any comments on the Business Advice Section then I would be delighted to hear from you.
You may wonder where we advertise your business for sale and so here is a list of the main advertising sites where we advertise (some sites are sector or size specific, so you may not appear on those):

If you are getting close to a sale of your business do please remember that you will need to ensure that your EPC is available for the purchaser together with any environmental reports that you may need to produce. These will hold up a speedy sale if you don’t have them. Please contact us if you would like to order an EPC at a competitive price.
