If you think it’s time for a change, we’ll show you how stress-free selling can be.

Why sell now?

There are many different reasons why business owners decide to put their business on the market. Running a newsagents requires a lot of time investment, and it’s not always possible to give a business the time it requires to be successful. For example, if a business owner is suffering from poor health or needs to look after a family member, they may have to sacrifice the business.

One of the most popular reasons for selling up is retirement. You’ve probably worked long hours over a number of years, so you’ve earned yourself a nice long retirement! If the business owner can’t pass the business on to a family member or they want to sell the business to fund their retirement, then it’s important to choose a good time to sell to get the most value.
