Flushing out buyers

Napoleon reportedly said “England is a Nation of Shopkeepers” in dismissing England’s preparedness for war against France. Certainly it is our continued experience at Ernest Wilsons that many of our countrymen still harbour a desire to run their own business even in these challenging economic times, whether that be in retail, food, wholesale, service industry, manufacturing, web based the list goes on. According to a survey of 2,000 youngsters, commissioned to support the Ambition AXA Awards, around half (47 per cent) say that they have always wanted to be their own boss, buying a business is one way to achieve that goal. Another recent survey by oneworkinglife.com revealed from a sample of 2,000 full and part-time employees across the UK, 18% want to run their own business. However David Singleton, the former Managing Director of Lloyds TSB Business, said some years ago, "There is no doubt about the British appetite for business ownership, but sadly this desire fades largely through fear of the unknown”. To help people who have harboured an ambition or have thought about buying their own business but not yet taken the first step, Ernest Wilsons run seminars titled “Thinking of Buying Your Own Business – Learn How? “ As the title suggests this is aimed at benefiting people who have thought of running their own business but that is as far as they have got, maybe because of fear of the unknown and the many questions and/or anxieties they have about it have gone unanswered. During these one day seminars they spend time with Business and Stock Valuers, Bankers, a Solicitor and Accountant covering and answering questions all about the “ins and outs” of buying a business. By attending this educational informal seminar people feel more confident about exploring the dream they have to run their own business. We know that many delegates from these seminars go on to buy a business, having built up the confidence and the know how to proceed. These seminars well illustrate our passion to sell businesses and set us aside from our competitors for more information on Ernest Wilson Business Agents, visit www.ernest-wilson.co.uk
