Buying

Businesses

We are Shilling and we would like to buy your business!

Are you ready to think about the day you don’t have to worry about your customers, suppliers, staff or HMRC….?

Have you considered how your life could change if you could get the value out of your business without losing more than half of it in tax …..?

 

You should know:

We are not business brokers looking to extract a fee from you.

Shilling does not market your business. We are a mergers and acquisitions group buying business directly ourselves or in partnership with other industry specialists. We will not charge you any fees.

Our offers are not valuations issued by a broker looking for fees.

Any offer we issue is fully funded and ready to go. They are subject only to due diligence and contract!

It’s a big decision, we get it.

We fully understand that selling your business is a life-changing decision. We are also acutely aware that once you have decided to explore a sale, the expense, stresses and risks can become tangible.

It’s not as taxing as you think.

Our offers are structured for maximum tax efficiency to enable you to claim Business Asset Disposal Relief (formerly Entrepreneur’s Relief). This usually means the first £1,000,000 of your sale proceeds would only be taxed at 10%.

See HMRC Asset Disposal Relief Factsheet for more.

Shilling aims to ease the pressure by offering:

 A streamlined,   seller-friendly   process

Once you accept a Shilling offer, the whole process from due diligence to legal completion and beyond is seller-friendly and highly discreet with almost no disruption. As we do not need to market your business, confidential data risk is all but eliminated. Our streamlined process is specifically tailored to minimise both sides’ legal and professional advisor costs. 

Time to breathe and plan.

Let us carry out an initial review of your business and issue a fully funded offer. Once accepted, we can proceed quickly to completion and payout. Alternatively, if the offer or timing is not quite right, we can – and often do – repeat the process the following year. This gives you time to plan your post business life.

So, if you are considering selling, retiring, moving on or just curious…

We can talk through your expectations, how to achieve them and make an offer for your business as it is now. We can always do it again next year, or the year after or …
