Specialist Business Transfer Agents
Selling a business is one of the most significant financial transactions you will undertake. At Watkins Commercial, we have been successfully matching buyers and sellers of businesses across Brighton, Hove and Sussex since 1980. Our deep understanding of the local market, combined with decades of hands-on experience, ensures that every sale is handled with professionalism, discretion and care.
Our Approach
We understand that every business sale is unique. That is why we take the time to understand your business thoroughly before bringing it to market. Our process includes:
- Confidential consultation to understand your objectives and timeline
- Professional market appraisal based on trading figures, lease terms and comparable evidence
- Preparation of detailed business particulars designed to attract serious, qualified buyers
- Targeted marketing to our extensive database of registered applicants
- Thorough vetting of buyers to confirm financial capability and genuine interest before viewings
- Accompanied viewings managed discreetly to protect confidentiality
- Skilled negotiation to achieve the best possible price and terms
- Active management of the transaction through to legal completion
Confidentiality Guaranteed
We recognise the sensitive nature of business sales. News of a sale can unsettle staff, concern customers and alert competitors. We maintain strict confidentiality throughout the entire process, only disclosing the identity of a business to vetted applicants who have signed a confidentiality agreement.
Sectors We Cover
We handle business sales across all commercial sectors, including hospitality, retail, food and drink, professional services, hair and beauty, and many more. Whatever your business, we have the expertise and market knowledge to achieve a successful sale. Contact us today on 01273 709090 for a confidential, no-obligation discussion.
