FAQs
- What is a Business Transfer Agent
We act like estate agents but for businesses. We guide owners through the process of selling and help buyers find the right opportunities.
- Why should I work with Ellis and Ellis instead of selling privately
Selling on your own can be stressful and risky. We provide accurate valuations, protect confidentiality, and handle negotiations to secure the best outcome.
- How do you value a business
We look at earnings, assets, industry trends, and market demand to give a fair and realistic value.
- What types of businesses do you sell
From cafes and shops to professional services and specialist firms, we handle a wide range of small and medium businesses.
- Do I need to tell my staff or customers that I am selling
In most cases, no. We manage the sale confidentially so your staff and customers are not affected until the right time.
- How do you find buyers
We combine our buyer database with online listings, direct marketing, and industry contacts to reach the right audience.
- What is due diligence
This is the process where a buyer checks the finances, contracts, and overall health of a business before completing the purchase.
- Do you also help buyers or only sellers
We work with both. We represent sellers but we also guide buyers so that both sides understand the process.
- Which areas do you cover
We operate mainly across the UK but we also attract interest from international buyers looking for opportunities here.
- How do I start the process
The first step is to get in touch. We can arrange a confidential consultation and a free business valuation.
