My client, established over 10 years and represents clients across Central & Greater Manchester offers their practice, staff and on-going lease to the market for the first time. Through retirement the opportunity to acquire this portfolio of 120 Ltd Companies with fees from £400 - £18,000 has arisen and the principal offers their phased handover on a reducing scale for a period up to 2 years if required.
You will enjoy long standing client relationships, the opportunity to retain 4 staff, demonstrable track record of organic growth and an office well positioned to service the area. The firm currently provides a full suite of services including bookkeeping and payroll but no in-house Audit and the principal would like to focus on client transfer going forward.

The vendor is open to negotiation but requests a minimum deposit of 40% (ideally 50%) for the transaction and payments over 2 years whilst he offers full clawback provision. To arrange a meeting quote reference 215723
