Your Business Sold

Advertising a business for sale

Reaching potential buyers

There are a number of internet based sites where businesses can be advertised. Yourbusinesssold.co.uk is just one. For this type of advertising you pay only the cost of placing your advert.

For what ever medium of advertising to ensure your ad attracts interest you should ensure that you give a concise and accurate description of what it is that you are selling.
e.g. a complete business in a box (premises, stock, systems, staff etc) or just the assets.

Most importantly place a realistic value on the disposal and indicate your willingness to ensure the continued success of the business by doing all that you can to hand over a successful operation.

Other internet sites offer to advertise your business but seek a share of the selling price.

There are also opportunities to place press adverts. To ensure you get the most out of your advertisements it is important to research and choose carefuly the publications you use to advertise

The method you choose is likely to be driven by your own business experience, your desire to sell and the need for advice and guidance.
