This is a confidential service to introduce businesses and investors.
The rules are quite simple:
Rules for Businesses :
We require, from your accountant or solicitor, a letter with a sealed A5 envelope attached.
That sealed A5 envelope will contain a one page A4 anonymous overview of your business proposition.
The sealed A5 envelope will be addressed with our investor's reference (i.e. 01Z _ _ ) plus your accountant's/solicitor's reference for you.
Your accountant's/solicitor's covering letter (addressed to ourselves) will NOT be forwarded to the investor : it will however confirm, in writing, TWO important factors :-
1: you are known to them and have confirmed your identity (this is not a personal nor business reference merely a confirmation of your ID nor is it a stamp of approval on your business overview)
2: that should the investor decide to proceed to invest, they (that is your accountant /solicitor) will advise ourselves, without delay & in writing, by recorded delivery that the investment has been made.
Rules for Investors :
A. When you receive a business proposition, should you be interested in taking matters further we require you to contact businesses-for-sale.co.uk for the details of the proposer's accountant or solicitor.
B. Should you proceed to invest then you will also advise businesses-for-sale.co.uk in order that we may invoice the business.
C. Should a proposition be in breach of the rules (i.e. not anonymous, not one page A4), you should advise businesses-for-sale.co.uk. without delay.
