Selling your business
Selling a recruitment agency, done properly
A recruitment agency sells on its client relationships, its recurring placements, its consultants and any temp or contract book. Recurring contract income is especially valuable, and we present it so buyers see dependable revenue.
agentlocal values your agency, markets it to trade buyers and investors and keeps it confidential, so your placements and consultants carry on while we handle the sale.
Maximum exposure
Your business in front of every serious buyer
We advertise across the major property and business sale portals and reach our own national network of active buyers and investors, including those searching quietly off market. More genuine interest means more competition and a stronger final price.
