Frequently asked questions
Sell your Post Office: The first decision is deciding you wish to sell. The second is choosing how you are going to find your buyer. You can use selling agents or you can find a private buyer. You need to collate your key business information for potential buyers.
Sell your Post Office: Selling your Post Office can take some time as you need to find a buyer! Business transfer agents have mailing lists they can use, or you may have potential buyers in your personal community.
If you decide to sell privately, we can tell our community about your branch opportunity. Telling them the name of your branch and the post code. They can simply visit you to begin discussions with you directly. Likewise if you wish to add to your portfolio we can let the community know.
Sell your Post Office: Once you have agreed your deal you should confirm the details in a Heads of Terms document for both parties. You can initiate the application process, but you should be clear how you wish to fund it as you will need to show your ability to pay for the business during the application process. Speak to us about finance options.
However, we do recommend you contacting a business transfer agent to see what they have to offer!
Sell your Post Office: When you have reached a deal and are ready to move forward together, you should create a heads of terms document for both parties to sign.
