Richard and Peter from Anderson Shaw dealt with the recent sale of our business for my husband and I, and we have been really pleased with the expertise and level of support they have given us. The sale would never have happened without their help and attention. From the start they made it clear that it would not be an overnight task, nor would it be one that we would enjoy the journey through, and then with all the uncertainty of BREXIT and COVID thrown in, the process was probably even more complicated than it might otherwise have been. Throughout though both Richard and Peter were calm and efficient and worked hard to get the best deal for us. There was considerable time spent by Anderson Shaw and us in putting together what we felt was a very comprehensive and informative Sales Briefing Document for the business, which really gave an excellent picture of the business, both now and its history, and I am sure helped all the interested parties getting a good feel for the business. Whilst we had several interested parties, we sold the business to a private buyer in the end, who, whilst not having direct experience in the market, was very keen on learning about it and committed to developing it further into the future, which was a key requirement for us. We developed a good relationship with the buyer throughout the process and felt that we ended up with a fair deal for both parties at the end, much of this was due to the way Richard and Peter managed the negotiations. We would happily recommend Anderson Shaw to any other business owner looking to sell their business, for the professional support they gave us, the strength of their negotiation skills and their overall handling of the whole of the sale process from start to finish.

Very professional broker and advisory service. Friendly and personal approach which is rare, and appreciated. Thorough acquisition research undertaken, with discreet but plentiful communication throughout the process. Highly recommended.

Peter at Anderson Shaw handled the recent sale of my business and I am pleased to recommend their services. I started the business back in 1999, to provide specialist engineering services in the Motorsport sector, and in mid-2019, after 20 years running the business, I decided it was time to pursue other family interests I have. As an experienced engineer I had little expertise in the process of selling a business and sought out professional help to do so. Having researched several options I met with Peter and chose to work with him as he had some good experience in businesses of my size, and I was confident in what he was telling me. He did forewarn me that I would not enjoy the experience and he was dead right! Anderson Shaw found several potential buyers and I had meetings with them, and in December 2019, I agreed to sell to the eventual buyer. After some initial progress in early 2020, COVID-19 hit and caused a 3-month hold on progress; however, in May 2020 we progressed to the full-scale DD process and eventually completed the sale in early August 2020. There were some real ups and downs over the whole process and Im pleased to say that Peter helped greatly in keeping things moving and providing some real support over the time with his calm and professional manner throughout. I would certainly recommend Anderson Shaw to anyone looking to sell their business due to the honest and reliable advice and general support Peter gave me.
