In recent years, some business owners have reported bad experience with Transfer Agents.

Complaints include: being required to pay large fees for "marketing", ineffective marketing for their business, poor communication from the Agent, and having to reduce their asking price well below the Agent's valuation. In some cases their contracts trap them into paying a commission based on an unreal valuation, rather than an actual sale price.

We consider such activity unethical.

Our appraisals are realistic, based on the facts and figures that any buyer will demand, and in standard accounting practice. Our sign-up fees are modest. We do not charge 'add-on' fees.

We make our profit when your sale goes through, so we continue to share your motivation for a good and timely outcome.

Our contract with you is simple and clear - it fits on one page and is easily understood.

We are not the biggest Business Transfer Agents, but we feel we can offer a more personal service than large companies like KBS Corporate, Intelligent Business Sales, Hilton Smythe and Turner Butler.

Our promotion of your business still benefits from a state of the art digital platform, matching thousands of buyers with sellers and putting your company on the large internet platforms. Where appropriate, we also use social media such as Facebook and LinkedIn. Your business sale means a lot to us, and we have the flexibility to seek out buyers in less obvious places. This includes our own database, accumulated over 67 years of successful trading.

All brochures, colour photography and advertising are included in our initial fee.
