Selling a Business with Agent Local

Selling Businesses — A Better Way

Each year, more than 270,000 businesses across the UK go to market for sale, yet over 60 percent of owners choose to first advertise their business across on cheap, outdated online DIY platforms, simply hoping the right buyer will come along. Ask yourself this, would you sell your house on Gumtree, or would you use an estate agent? The same logic applies when selling a business.

That’s why 86 percent of all businesses listed on cheap platforms today fail to sell. Too often, owners will value their business themselves based on emotion no logic or market conditions. Add to this a lack of understanding of selling a business, the process, legal requirements, buyer vetting, negotiations, money laundering regulations — and it can quickly lead to disaster, leaving many owners left sitting on the market for years, out of pocket and frustrated.

Agent Local provides the UK’s leading fully managed business sales service, with a dedicated agent overseeing every step from start to finish, just like an estate agent would handling the sale of a home. From delivering an accurate business valuation to advertising, negotiations, buyer vetting, and contract progression, we handle everything on your behalf. We also proactively go to market to source the right buyer and position your business where it really matters most, across only premium platforms such as Zoopla and our exclusive database of 240,000 motivated buyers.

We have removed hidden contracts, unfair fees and poor broker results. Instead, sell your business faster, fairer and with the UK's lowest commission on sale, saving sellers thousands in fees.
