Thinking About Buying Your Own Business? - Learn How

The Next Seminar is on Thursday 7th March 2013 At Ernest Wilsons & Co Limited, The Business Centre, Deanhurst Park, Gelderd Road Leeds LS27 7LG 

Many potential purchasers attended the last  successful seminar, a seminar which is capturing people’s attention, and enjoyed an excellently informative day with Ernest Wilsons and invited presenters. 

Delegates learned about all aspects of buying a business; listening to presentations and putting questions to Jeffrey Myers of Jeffrey Myers & Co Solicitors in Leeds, Wendy Hallas, Business Relationship Manager at LloydsTSB Huddersfield and David Talbot of Hiltons Stock Valuers together with the experienced business valuers present from Ernest Wilsons. 

One seminar delegate, Emma Hey from North Yorkshire said afterwards “Good value for money with very helpful handouts and all my questions were answered, definitely recommend” 

Miss C Dimelow from Barnsley said “This day has exceeded my expectations very interesting and knowledgeable speakers – thank you” 

David Singleton, the former Managing Director of Lloyds TSB Business, said, "There is no doubt about the British appetite for business ownership, but sadly this desire fades largely through fear of the unknown”. 

Certainly for the delegates attending the course, it was the fear that faded rather than the desire by discussing and understanding what was involved in buying a business. 

Francis Bacon said “knowledge is power” and certainly the delegates left feeling more empowered to consider their options in the light of the present opportunities in the business sales market, the finance available and the steps involved. 

 The presenters will again include Business and Stock Valuers, a local Solicitor, Accountant and Banker and throughout the day they will cover amongst other things:- 

• Overview of the Business Sales market in 2012
• Deciding what kind of business you should buy
• Deciding what you can afford
• How businesses are valued
• The research and decision making process, viewing techniques, making an offer
• Raising finance, how to go about this in the present environment
• The legal aspects of buying a business including buying goodwill, leasehold and freehold properties
• Tax/Vat - what key things to think about when buying a business 
• How do you value and acquire stock? 

This is a no obligation, educational and informal seminar to help people who are thinking about buying a business, have never bought one before, and want to learn how they can go about it, have their questions answered and take the next steps, if the time is right for them. 

When? Wednesday Thursday 7th March 2013, 9:15am – 5:00pm (Lunch and Refreshments provided) 

Where? Ernest Wilsons & Co Limited, The Business Centre, Deanhurst Park, Gelderd Road, Leeds LS27 7LG 

Cost? £85 plus VAT per person (£160 plus VAT couples) 

How do I apply? Contact Julie Walton on 0113 238 2900 or e-mail Julie.walton@ernest-wilson.co.uk (Places subject to availability.)
