Hello everyone,
I would be very grateful for any advice, comments and thoughts on the following.
I am in the process of selling my window cleaning round, all done Traditional for the past 10 years. I have been showing the prospective buyer around for nearly three months to date. Last week we agreed upon a sale price for the business, we shook hands and I asked him if he was happy with everything to which he replied "yes".
Today, I get a text saying he's not comfortable paying the agreed price because there are no guarantees and it's a lot of money to lay out. I fully understand that, and I appreciate his concern. Nothing is certain in this business. He seemed happy, but now it looks like he's going back on our agreement.
I'd like to hear from anyone who's had a similar experience and how they arrived at a compromise with their buyer. I must sell the business as I'm moving away. He has been a bit flaky at times, but I understand it's a big decision. However, why shake on a deal when there's an issue lurking in the background? He's not very communicative which has made things more difficult.
I'm starting to panic. Advice need please. Thank you.
