    Thank you for the warning. I thought it made sense from a privacy and confidentiality perspective. However I do think think you're right, there are better places to do this.

    Now it's my turn for scepticism because you already seem to have a bias about the deal structure and by putting this alleged customer in the public forum and asking me those specifics when I asked people to private message is indeed very suggestive. I'll kindly pass thankyou.

    Looking For A Business To Buy

    Can you please explain the basis for your cynicism. As you've explained in your post, mistakes are made at every level and on both sides. What you seem to be saying is that deals are only done between people with 100% cash in their bank. What evidence do you have that demonstrates this is the...

    Thanks for pointing that out. I have also owned my own companies and been involved in trade sales and acquisitions in various forms and roles. Anyhow, this is clearly a very divisive subject with a lot of beliefs and opinions and that's kind of the problem.

    Looking For A Business To Buy

    The fact that a company was recently setup as a holding company or SPV for the purpose of buying businesses has zero relevance and may actually show a limited understanding of the process and the privacy, confidentiality and risk involved for the buyer. Oh yes, there is risk because sellers can...

    This forum gets more interesting by the moment. I just witnessed a post removed and then another post edited by a moderator. It appears that some can say what they like whilst others are censored. Whilst I agree that we should avoid gutter talk there should be a level of impartiality. I...

    Your replies are littered with assumptions Clinton which are intentionally positioned to elicit a certain response. As for that page of yours and the video link, well, they are no different than the methods used by the so-called "gurus" and "lazy brokers" and the "£1 charlie dealmakers" you...

    You know, I'm not surprised by your response Clinton and some of what you say will probably make a lot of sense to some sellers. Good luck to them and you. Even for me, you've answered a few niggling questions, so I'd like to thank you for that, it saved me time.

    Clinton and I are connected on LinkedIn although we've not yet had a conversation. My preference is not to deal through brokers although many are being more realistic at present and I realise Clinton may be different. I would prefer to broker a fair deal direct.

    I'm a professional investor. I'll let you figure out the answer. I understand why you ask the question though and thank you for your concern.

    Unfortunately, you're right Mr D, more businesses may be forced to close or sell up in these challenging times. I'm looking for very specific things though, so I should be able to filter out the wrong businesses. Many thanks for your concern though. It's a very valid point.

    Is the future of web design an off the shelf, ultimately throwaway, low cost product?

    Depends on what you need to grow your business. Some people say they just want a small business and don't want / need any more business. Until the worst happens. Other's looking to scale and grow, especially those developing "new ideas" will need to invest in marketing to grow the...

    Where are all the creative individuals??

    We're out there and hard at it. Would be nice if there was more of an "open community" when it comes to developing businesses as its one of the things I believe is slowing things down. Great things happens when different minds / views / skills come together.
