If you decide to view a business that is advertised for sale, we will provide the seller with information about you, including your name and telephone number, how you plan to finance the purchase and your experience of running a business. This enables the seller to make a decision on who to sell their business to.  If a sale is agreed we provide your solicitor and the seller’s solicitor with information required for the sale to proceed, for example, your contact details, the agreed sale price, company assets to be sold. If a sale is agreed we may also collect information about you from other sources, for example via bank references and supplier references.  We will discuss this with you before any references are requested.
