• Post-acquisition support where required.

Kingswood differ in that we are not a ‘broker’ or ‘business transfer agent’. Beware of the opportunistic middleman who simply match buyers to sellers at minimal effort. When selecting an adviser always ask:

• Do they attend meetings of introductions to prospective buyers?
• Can they provide references?
• Are they experienced and qualified?
• Can the adviser provide assumptions and computations to support their business valuations which can be discussed with your accountant – essential at the negotiation stage; or do they offer verbal valuations only?
• Do they produce a bespoke marketing plan for your business?

Kingswood can offer all of the above! Quite simply, we can offer you peace of mind and business continuity. Through offering you a complete, comprehensive transaction project management solution – it allows you to focus on running your business and taking away the stresses of managing the sale. We are with you every step of the way.

So if you’re looking for assistance from business sale advisers that can help you with any and every aspect of your sale – then why not contact Kingswood. Professional, friendly advice is only a phone call away.
