Selling your business over which you might have sweated, slaved and worried for years can often be a traumatic time. Often a moment of great upheaval in your life it needs sensitive handling and calm professional advice.

Goadsby, already the largest retail agent on the South Coast, have been rapidly expanding into this sector through their office in Southampton, having already specialised in Business Transfer in Bournemouth and Dorset for many years.

Fashion outlets, restaurants, hairdressers, take-aways, health-clubs, garages, bakeries, post offices. They are all trades that are being covered and there are businesses for sale from £30,000 leasehold to £1.5m freehold.

Surveyor, Luke Gibbs of Goadsby, heads this expansion and explains:- 'Many people come to us unsure of how to deal with their sale There are a number of so called business transfer advisers out there, particularly in this internet age, that are less than local and many will, unlike ourselves, ask for fees or expenses up front.

We do neither and with our extensive commercial property coverage from Lyme Regis to Chichester, north of Petersfield and Salisbury, we can provide comprehensive and fact based advice on both the property and goodwill sides of the disposal'.

Goadsby have a brochure of businesses currently available in the area as well as advertising them on their own website www.goadsby.com.
