Buying a business
Overview
Advent always act in the sellers best interest – however, we
know their interest is best served by an honest and transparent
relationship with you, the buyer.
We work hard to provide the relevant information you need to make
an informed decision. If a business is on our books you can be
sure that the seller is committed to completing. Because we help
them put vital financial and legal information together you’ll
know that if a business is on our website then it represents a
real opportunity.
And not only that; if you can’t see what you’re looking for just
call us for an informal chat. With plenty of businesses coming
through on a regular basis there might be something just about
to go live. Plus, we can make a note of your requirements and
contact you when new instructions come in that match your criteria,
so you’ll be one of the first to know.

Process
Step 1
You can search our online database to find the businesses that
meet your specifications. You’ll find it easy to organise by business
type, price and location. Contact us if you’d like to know more
or to be included on our mailing list for upcoming properties.
Step 2
When you’re ready, call us to arrange a viewing. Like all brokers
it’s likely we’ll ask you to fill in a non-disclosure Agreement
(NDA) to protect the sellers confidentiality. Don’t be surprised
too if we make enquiries regarding funding – this again is normal
practice and gives you the advantage being taken more seriously
by the seller.
Our experienced sales negotiators can provide specific knowledge
of the business – ask as many questions as you like and they’ll
do all they can to provide the right information for your needs
and arrange a convenient time for viewing.
Step 3
If you’re not ready to make an offer yet or the business isn’t
right for you then let us know and we’ll endeavour to find one
that is.
If you are ready then don’t forget you can make an offer subject
to contract and due diligence. There is no obligation until completion
although you will need to show that finances are in place for
your offer to be accepted and the purchase to proceed.
Once you’re offer has been accepted you’ll receive regular updates
on the progress of the sale. We’ll let you know about key developments
as they happen for peace-of-mind and reassurance. All of our negotiators
can access sales details with a few clicks of the mouse so feel
free to contact us at any time.
We’ve seen thousands of successful sales through to completion
over the years so we know how important it is that you, the buyer
gets as much out of the process as possible. It’s in our interest
to make you want to come back to Advent in the future – as buyer
or seller!
Legal and Funding
We have strong relationships with professionals experienced in
commercial business sales. If you need advice on any legal or
financial matter we can recommend solicitors, accountants and
tax advisors with specific knowledge of buying a business.
In addition we have access to leading Independent Financial Advisors
to help you raise funding and assess where you could benefit from
Government grants, schemes and initiatives.
