REP Consultants Ltd, the long established supplier of Recruitment and Staff Development services to the UK Motor Trade, have announced a major new business initiative, designed to provide maximum returns for dealers who wish to sell their businesses.
Bob Pearce, Chairman and founder of REP Consultants Ltd states that “many owners today find themselves sitting on some very valuable properties, where they feel they cannot release their true value without destroying the underlying business”.
REP Consultants Ltd have assembled a team of experts in their field to tackle this problem, and now provide this specialist service across the whole of the UK Motor Industry.
The real secret is to sell the real estate for its alternative use true value and relocate the business to a new site, where it can then be sold on.
The solution is simple, the reality is a lot of careful planning, meticulous attention to detail, negotiating skill and hard work. We have been able to manage a number of these projects through to a successful conclusion, gaining experience and expertise and very good contacts along the way.
There is definitely a trend for garages to be sold for alternative use and closed, in one town alone our research showed four cases. This, in many cases, is a tragedy because the profit from the property sale is dissipated in the losses and redundancies that result in the closing of the business.
Unfortunately the pressures of running a modern business do not allow the time to devote to managing such a project. The successful execution of such projects also require a balance of skills and experience which is not usually available in a motor dealership.
This is where REP Consultants Ltd with our experience, expertise and skill can guide you through the whole project so that eventually you pick up not one, but two cheques that together exceed your expectations.
