How do you act for a Buyer?
Every buyer is different. The crucial thing to help you find the right business is that we fully understand your brief. We have a short questionnaire that we talk you through step by step at our first meeting. We will then summarise this in a briefing document to make sure we have fully captured your brief.
Things that are essential for us to know include:
• The sub-sector of education you are interested in
• Location
• Turnover and profitability
• Staff
• Any red flags that would rule out a business for you
We then consult our existing databases and, if needed, go out to market and make confidential enquiries on your behalf. We agree a daily search rate with you before we start.
