From the moment we engaged with Lucy, Laura and the Atomic team, it was clear we were in expert hands. Their understanding of the intricacies involved in selling a business, from the technical hurdles to the emotional aspects, was evident in every conversation. Lucy’s advice was spot-on, not just around navigating the formal processes but also in managing the stresses that naturally come with selling.

Nothing was too much trouble for Atomic Consultancy. From my first meeting with Lucy, and then Laura and the rest of the team, I felt like I was in safe hands. Their expertise, professionalism and enthusiasm from the day of listing my business with them, to the day it completed, never wavered. Their support was never ending. I have no hesitation in recommending Atomic.

How do you value my Estate or Letting Agency?

We conduct a comprehensive, free valuation for all sellers based on key factors, including turnover, profitability, market conditions, and business potential, we can also support an adjusted EBITDA for larger businesses. Our expert team ensures the valuation reflects the true value of your business whilst still attracting a competitive bidding process in the current market.

When should I sell my Estate or Letting Agency?

We often see peaks in new launches in January and September, however, the right time depends on your business performance, market conditions, and personal objectives. Our consultancy service can help you identify the best time to maximise your sale value.

How do I prepare my Estate or Letting Agency to sell?

Preparing your business for sale involves ensuring your financials are in order, streamlining operations, and resolving any compliance issues. We recommend:

Having accurate financial records and clear cash flow data.
Reviewing client contracts and staff agreements.
Conducting reverse due diligence to identify potential risks early.

Our consultancy service can help you prepare thoroughly for a stress-free, successful sale.

What due diligence will buyers do on my business?

Buyers will routinely conduct 3 forms of due diligence, the first being legal due diligence to cover off how your business is structured and confirm any assets and liabilities your business has, the second is operational due diligence, whereby buyers will want to review a selection of your property files and lastly financial due diligence where buyers may wish to review the flow of funds in and out of your business.

How long will it take to sell my business?

On average, the sales process takes around 12-16 weeks. However, the timeline can vary depending on factors like whether it is a share or asset sale, solicitor availability, market conditions, buyer availability, and how prepared and compliant your business is. Our full-service support helps streamline the process for faster results.

Can you source a business for me to buy?

Although we do not work exclusively for buyers to source businesses for sale, we do offer a buyer project management service once you have identified a target. We can also register you on our mailing list to receive our new opportunities and pride ourselves on taking the time to understand your investment goals, preferred business size and location so you receive businesses that match your criteria.
