Buying or selling a business?
Find answers to some of the most common questions about using Ventaro, whether you are searching for businesses for sale or looking for a straightforward way to sell your business.
What is Ventaro?
Ventaro is a UK business marketplace designed to connect people looking for businesses for sale with owners who want to sell their business.
Sellers can create detailed business listings containing information such as the asking price, revenue, net profit, location, business type, tenure and growth opportunities. Buyers can then browse the marketplace, compare opportunities and contact sellers directly through Ventaro.
How do I sell my business on Ventaro?
If you want to sell your business, you can create a seller account and complete a business listing through Ventaro's online listing process.
You can add your business description, financial information, asking price, photos, location, business highlights and potential growth opportunities. Once submitted, the listing is reviewed before being published on the Ventaro business marketplace where interested buyers can make an enquiry directly.
How can I find businesses for sale?
Buyers can search Ventaro for businesses for sale using criteria such as business type, location, keyword and budget. This makes it easier to narrow down the marketplace to opportunities that match your interests and investment level.
Individual listings also provide key commercial information to help you decide which businesses you would like to investigate further before contacting the seller.
Does Ventaro act as a business broker?
Ventaro is primarily a business marketplace rather than a traditional business broker. Its role is to provide a platform where business owners can advertise businesses for sale and buyers can discover and enquire about those opportunities.
Buyers and sellers should carry out their own due diligence and may wish to obtain independent legal, financial or professional advice before agreeing any business sale or purchase.
How do buyers contact a business seller?
Every business listing includes an enquiry form which allows an interested buyer to contact the seller directly through Ventaro. Buyers can provide their name, email address, phone number and a message explaining their interest in the business.
The seller receives the enquiry and can respond directly, allowing the two parties to continue discussions about the opportunity, request further information or arrange the next stage of the buying process.
What information should I include when I sell my business?
A strong business listing should give prospective buyers enough information to understand the opportunity without overwhelming them. Useful information can include the asking price, annual revenue, net profit, number of employees, year established, location, tenure and the reason the business may appeal to a new owner.
When you sell your business, clear descriptions, good-quality photographs and realistic information about future growth opportunities can also help serious buyers decide whether to make an enquiry.
Can I advertise a confidential business sale?
Business owners do not always want customers, employees, suppliers or competitors to know immediately that their company is being offered for sale. Where appropriate, a listing can therefore focus on the nature, location and financial profile of the opportunity without publishing unnecessary confidential information.
More sensitive information can then be discussed directly with genuine prospective buyers as conversations progress.
What types of businesses are listed on Ventaro?
Ventaro is designed for a wide range of UK businesses for sale, including retail and hospitality businesses, service companies, professional services, manufacturing and industrial businesses, online and e-commerce businesses, automotive companies, health and beauty businesses, leisure businesses, trades and construction companies and other established commercial opportunities.
Buyers can browse relevant categories or use the marketplace search tools to find businesses that suit their experience, preferred location and available budget.
Does Ventaro value businesses?
The asking price shown on a business listing is provided by the seller and should not automatically be treated as an independent valuation of the business.
Business values can depend on profitability, assets, recurring revenue, sector, growth prospects and many other factors. Buyers and sellers considering a transaction may therefore wish to obtain an independent valuation or professional financial advice.
What should I check before buying a business?
A business listing is a useful starting point, but buyers should carry out appropriate due diligence before purchasing any business. This can include reviewing financial accounts, tax information, contracts, leases, employees, assets, liabilities and other information relevant to the company.
Ventaro helps buyers discover businesses for sale and make contact with sellers, but professional legal and financial advice should be considered before completing a transaction.
