If you’re thinking of buying your own shop – whether it be a Grocery Store, a Post Office and Convenience Store, an Off-Licence, a Newsagents or a good old-fashioned Sweet Shop – it pays to seek legal advice from a solicitor who specialises in business transfers and who understands the ins and outs of the retail industry.
No qualifications are required to run your own shop business but you will need good business judgement, a head for figures and a willingness to work long hours. In addition, you will need to do careful market research to ensure the business you’re interested in is valued at a fair price and is viable moving forwards. There’s a lot to think about and that’s before you even start to contemplate the legalities of transferring premises, assets, supplier contracts, licences and goodwill.
Whether you want to buy an independent business or are, perhaps, thinking of buying a franchise, you do need to be sure that you fully understand what is involved before you commit, or you could end up out of pocket and with your ambitions thwarted.
