FEBRUARY 2020 MARKET UPDATE

MESSAGE FROM THE PARTNERS

It's been a great start to the year with plenty of new exciting businesses coming to market real soon!

A special congratulation to those buyers who have already had offers accepted this year.

For those who have not yet found the right business, how is the search going?

In line with our ethos, we at VBA want to differentiate ourselves from other brokers and truly understand what you want as a buyer and how best we can get that for you. We would love to know what are some of the challenges you have faced? Have you had trouble with credible information, transparent brokers and sellers, obtaining finance, putting together fair terms of sale or maybe something completely different?

Whatever your situation as a buyer, wherever you are up to in your business sale journey, we would love to talk with you.

At VBA there is literally nothing more we love to do than talk shop, as our resources grow, we are more able to commit to you, the buyer. You are literally 50% of any successful deal!

So, even if you are not buying a business through VBA, this is your invitation to get in touch with us for help with any challenges that you are experiencing in your search or purchase for your dream business.

As experts in the field, we pride ourselves on finding simple solutions to difficult business sale situations. We are confident that our brokers can easily steer you in the right direction when it comes to completing your successful business purchase.

As you know, we have spent that last few months in infrastructure mode, our mission has been to develop and perfect the ultimate infrastructure for a seamless business sale. This is so that you, the buyer, can have the most rewarding and successful business sale journey possible.

We are pleased to announce that VBA is now completely paperless.

We have found the perfect combination of software and technology to create the smoothest and most efficient flow of information and communication: A successful sale is made of many small steps, and we think we have nailed them all.

Video 1 – Before you start looking for a business watch this.

Do yourself a favor and take 15 mins to watch this video. Almost all buyers skip at least 2 key points before they start looking, and it costs them enormously in the enquiry and offer process. As a buyer, there isn’t a worse feeling than missing out on a business because you were not prepared, or suddenly realise the business is not right for you.

Again for any of your buying needs, due diligence investigations or just a second opinion – get in touch with us to make sure your buying decisions are the best possible.
