Business Transfer Agent

This refers to someone who works in the world of property, but on the business side of things.

They are the person that will help you to find the best price, and they can work on behalf of a buyer and a seller. Because of their crucial role in the process, they should be an expert in the sector your company works in and also in the area where the property is that you are buying or selling.

For those who are looking to buy a property, then the business transfer agent will work on your behalf to communicate with the owner and negotiate the best price for you, and also get all the paperwork that is requried and deal with conveyancing.

For someone who is selling a business, then they will undertake the various promotional and marketing elements that are required; this could include for instance a prospectus and also get it listed as widely as possible as for sale, which can include both offline and online activities to market it.

They will set the price taking into account your views but ultimately guided by the market value and what a good price is; valuing business property can be a lot more complicated than residential property as there are more factors to take into account. They will also undertake the conveyancing work.

For those selling a business then they will need to share various documentation with the agent that is working on their behalf to sell the business. This will be information such as accounts and VAT returns, usually for a period of three years, and information of what is going to be included in the sale of the business. Of course this is just a very quick overview of what a business transfer agent is, so the next step would be to do your own research and then if you are thinking of buying or selling commercial property researching an agent suitable to work with you and your needs.
