Business Partnership Reviews 11

I was deeply disappointed with both the agent & the service who handled my business sale. Despite his confidence & arriving in a Porsche —he was completely unsupportive through out the process. He handed me a list of buyer questions, with out vetting them 1st and I ended up doing the work. The questions lacked professionalism, and alarm bells rang that the buyer wasn’t serious which I challanged him about. He kept saying that he did'nt think the buyer would ever pay the price I was asking for, but he never offered any real professional strategy or support thoughout the process & said he couldn't help me. Ultimately, I'd lost faith in him too, I eventually sold completely independently.
His lack of professionalism cost me my time, money, and peace of mind. I will not be recommending them to other business owners in my situation.

Business Partnership was recommended to us after we’d been poorly treated by another agent. The experience couldn’t have more different, and we were looked after by Cameron from start to finish. Knowing that we could always communicate with the same person, who knew and cared about our business was great. We can wholeheartedly recommend Cameron at Business Partnership

I was very disappointed with the service provided by the Business Partnership. I entered in to an agreement with The Business Partnership to sell my long established business and at the time believed they would be working hard. Unfortunately this was far from the case and certainly didn't warrant the fee they took from me after I sold my business to a management buyout. I would advise business owners to be very wary.

Simon Fraser, my local Business Partnership contact has done an excellent job helping me to sell my business. He was there for me all the time to answer questions and help with all elements of the sale. It wasn’t easy, but due to Simon’s reliable work I was able to achieve a good result.

I've dealt with Simon on several business sales in recent years across the Highlands, and have always found to be 100% responsive, professional and highly driven.
I know that the clients involved all felt the same
Highly recommended

Simon in Inverness helped us source a buyer for our business and made the whole process seamless. Would highly recommend.

I’ve used Simon at the Business partnership to sell /buy properties & businesses.
He also assisted us with a leased property deal .
Easy to speak to - works hard for you & gets a deal done .

The best site a buyer can find.
It’s very rare to find a company that look after buyer along with seller.
Simon is the top man …
Thank you for helping me to buy my two biggest stores yet.

I never leave reviews but have to publicly acknowledge the help from Business Partnership. They were utterly professional throughout.

We had been approached by a company claiming to be able to sell our business but they wanted tens of thousands of pounds up front plus a percentage of the final sale but with no guarantee.

A business friend recommend I contact Business Partnership and I could not believe the difference in approach. An honest valuation, no up front fee, round the clock advice, and we ended up getting more for our company than we had thought.

I haver recommended Business Partnership to several associates and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone thinking about their own exit strategy.

When we looked at selling our family business, I was convinced I had the experience and knowledge to handle the sales process. I was SO wrong.

Business Partnership took all that responsibility off my plate, allowing me to continue running the business while they dealt with the buyers, accountants, lawyers, valuation, due diligence, legals and 101 other matters.

The end result was that the sale of our business was infinitely more professional and less stressful than if I had handled it myself, plus BP added genuine value - securing a higher price for the business and implementing tax strategies to ensure we kept as much of the proceeds as possible.

The bottom line is they added far more value than their fee… in fact, the fee became incidental. A complete no-brainer.

I genuinely cannot recommend Business Partnership highly enough. The sale of a 35+ year family business is a daunting process, especially where the buyer is a bigger fish. Business Partnership removed that risk and negotiated with the buyers from a position of professional strength. I will always be indebted to them for that.

Business Partnership will tell you anything to get you to buy a franchise, including lying about earnings.

It is a very bad franchise with a broken business model. Most franchisees make very little money and some are loss making. Management are a disgrace and will not deal with franchisee concerns properly.

There are a lot of dissatisfied franchisees. In 2021, three franchisees exited the franchise agreement before the end of the term. This is a significant proportion of franchisees, there are currently around 15.

This review is about the management company and not individual franchisees/regional partners, who are honest professionals. It should not put anybody off using an individual franchisee. (The directors do operate as regional partners so be aware of them, they can not be trusted).
