Tabtime Ltd, Cheshire

After running this e-commerce business for many years, retirement was beckoning. A truly international business with suppliers and customers in every corner of the globe and steadily profitable.

The buyer is of a younger generation who will harness advances in technology to streamline the back office operations, freeing time for future product development.

Client says

I was selling Tabtime as I was ready to retire, I’d run the business for forty years. When I put the business on the market I worked with both Alex and Paul, (Paul was the frontman whilst Alex worked hard in the background). They were always diligent and on hand, quickly responding and I felt like I could ask anything I needed.

When considering the sale, I had looked around for potential brokers and wanted to work with someone local. Business Partnership fitted the bill perfectly, they have national coverage with a local feel. I was confident in using their service and felt comfortable that they were not based too far away.

I’m not one for going over the top with my praise but I would recommend Business Partnership and was happy with their service.

Buyer says

I found Tabtime reasonably early on in my search for acquisition but continued to look at other potential options. However, it stuck with me and I kept coming back to it, Tabtime ticked all the boxes and I was intrigued. I worked with both Alex and Paul and they were a great combination and very responsive. The represented the buyer, Terry, very naturally. Paul particularly impressed me with his honesty, he made sure I was aware of any other offers on the business. He was transparent and communicative regarding competing buyers.  If I was looking to sell this business in future, I’d definitely work with them and would recommend them and their pragmatic approach.
