Explained in plain English
How are businesses sold?
Selling a business, like The Ainsbury, often starts with the owners deciding to move on. They might approach potential buyers directly, as John and Nicky Higgis did with Steve and Marietjie Lee, or use brokers. The process involves valuing the business, negotiating terms, and legal transfer of ownership, ensuring a smooth handover.
