Sell your business

The team at Armstrong Watson were instrumental in interpreting the commercial terms of the transaction and ensuring that the disposal went as smoothly as possible through to completion. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering selling their business.

Armstrong Watson had been our accountants for many years, and, given that relationship, I contacted them when I was thinking about selling Gardenwise. Douglas Russell introduced me to Ian Durie, and I was pleased with the way in which he explained the process, including the steps involved, the information that would be required and the likely timescales. Perhaps most importantly, the fact that I would be able to get on with the day to day running of the business while they ran the sales process was a key factor.

Selling your business and family home of over 40 years is a life changing event … Having never sold a business before there are so many unknowns and uncertainties, not to mention doubts … Andrew and Darcie guided us all throughout the entire process and invested their time to ensure we had a clear understanding … Cutting through the jargon and liaising with the legal advisers made things even easier for us and without their guidance and support, we may have never completed the sale …

I would not hesitate in recommending Armstrong Watson to someone thinking about selling their business. It’s been a journey - without Armstrong Watson and the team’s support, help and sound advice, I know we wouldn’t have achieved the outcome we did. We’ve been through a lot, Armstrong Watson genuinely care and have always been there going above and beyond to help us. We’ll be eternally grateful for the support we’ve had.

It was apparent that Darcie was not set on just getting any outcome. Through her pro-activeness and her understanding of my own objectives, she made sure she got me the best outcome possible.
