Turnaround time

They sold my business within 97 days from the first contact to completion in the current economic climate and at a price above our expectations.
Christine & Keith Gregory, Leicester

I was on the market for 5 years before I met Advent: it took them 6 months to sell.
Anon, Toddington

I placed my business on the market on the 5th February, and we completed the sale on the 31st July, many thanks.
Shaun, Leicestershire

My hotel had been on the market for four years with an agent, who kept reducing my price. I decided to use Advent, who within 5 months had 43 serious buyers. They then negotiated a price that was £260,000 more than the price with the original agent. I am now enjoying my retirement thanks to Advent Business Sales.

Getting the best price

Advent achieved a selling price of £115,000 above my prior agent and I knew that the constant supply of qualified buyers would ultimately result in a sale.
Mrs Susan Campbell Voss, Wellingborough

I sold my timber yard through Advent. I was previously negotiating a sale with a customer who kept trying to reduce the price. Advent found me a buyer who paid £200,000 more.
John, Leicester

Going that extra mile...

I have sold several businesses through many agents over the years. Advent sold my hairdressers and I wish I had used them to sell my other business interests over the years
Eric & Denise, Worcestershire

I was sceptical of using agents as I had already used one, which did not result in a single viewing. Advent's marketing is certainly as good as their agent stated at our first meeting. They sold my business quickly and for the full asking price. I can recommend them very highly.
Locksmiths, Huddersfield

Deciding to sell our business, we approached many agents but they were requesting large upfront fees. We spoke with Advent whose fees were reasonable. During the next two years the recession affected the sale adversely, but Advent never gave up. They were tenacious, proactive and negotiated the deal keeping me informed all the way. We have instructed solicitors and the completion is imminent at £3m’s. I have already recommended Advent to some of my closest business friends.
Trevor, Leicester

I was trying to sell my deli and in an attempt placed an advert in the local papers. It was a mistake as all my staff and customers found out. My business sales began to drop and not a single buyer came forward. A cousin of mine purchased an MOT station from Advent. I decided to use them. Within 6 months my deli was sold and they managed to sell it without any of my staff or customers finding out.

I purchased a business from Advent for £3.5m’s. They stayed in touch with me regularly even after the sale, which has resulted in my purchasing a second business from them for £3m’s
Mr Ramparia

I purchased a business from Advent. They met with me at the initial business viewing and explained in depth the areas that a new owner could develop the business. After the meeting I analysed the points raised by Advent’s representative which I found enlightening. As a consequence I placed a holding deposit upon the business and went on to purchasing the business. I am now in full time control of the business.
