Thinking of selling your business - new instructions urgently required

Over the past quarter, interest from clients in buying their own business has significantly increased. Alot of this we feel is down to confidence coupled with the recent reports that house prices are at a 3 year high increase giving potential buyers confidence to borrow against their house.

All types of businesses are popular and also leasehold and freehold options are seeing significant interest.

Talking to a buyer recently, she advised that she had wanted to buy a business for the last few years but only now feels confident enough to take the steps into becoming her own boss. She has had many ideas that she wanted to put into a business and has found commercial premises with a decent rent free period allowing her to fulfil her dream.

Ernest Wilson review of the year so far.....

As of the 15th May 2013, the market for business sales is certainly a lot brighter than last year. Viewings of business have shown a marked increase and likewise the volume of sales has increased.

Confidence in the market is a big factor, especially if clients are needing to borrow money and we are certainly receiving better feedback and confidence does seem to be returning.

Speaking to our preferred lender, Lloyds/TSB business, they are keen to lend money on the right businesses and to the right clients.

Being self employed is becoming more popular and hopefully this will continue as confidence grows.
