At the time I had no idea how to go about marketing and selling a business and Simon’s knowledge, helpful advice, along with his very supportive friendly approach proved to be invaluable. Right from the very start beginning with learning about my company right through to completion day with the buyer he was on hand for the whole process. Thanks again Simon, from a very happy customer.”

“We greatly appreciated the effort from your whole team to get our lease assignment over the line given the delays and lack of communication from one of the parties involved. Throughout the entire process, you responded promptly to our many emails and queries in an honest and clear manner. Having dealt with two business transfer agencies prior to engaging Central Business Agency Ltd t/a Business Partnership, we can definitely say that your level of service, attention to detail and client communication was both superior and outstanding. We would certainly recommend you to other business owners seeking to dispose of their business and/or lease. Thank you again for all your hard work and dedication. Wishing you and your team every success in the future. With kind regards.”
Valerie Way, L. & V. Way Limited,
“We found Central Business Agency Ltd t/a Business Partnership incredibly proactive, professional and reassuring throughout the sale of our business. From providing a realistic valuation through to finding us buyers and then on to navigating the sales process, they were great to deal with. Liaising with third parties when necessary and checking-in along the way (but never hassling!) we found communication to be one of their biggest assets. Thanks to all for working with us to achieve our sale!”
Zoe Lucock, Bobby’s Café
I can strongly recommend Central Business Agency Ltd t/a Business Partnership.
We put our 2 site Cotswold based business on the market in 2022 with an alternative agency but after 9 months had no success. Then, after a recommendation from our accountants, we contacted Central Business Agency Ltd t/a Business Partnership and within less than 6 months the business was sold.
The service provided was professional and efficient and they maintained good communication with us at all stages of the process so that we always knew exactly how things were developing.
They were realistic and honest with us about the potential value we should expect and delivered a sale well within those predictions.
Clare Keyte, Little Bakery Company Ltd
I would like to thank Simon and the team for their help in selling my business. It was rather a long haul, but we got there in the end.
I was very impressed in the speed of communication and keeping me informed on all that was going on.
So, if I know anyone who is thinking of selling their business, I will definitely recommend you.
Alison Bishop, Alison Clare Hair Studio
“I must thank Simon for providing such professional assistance in the selling of my business. His approach from the outset was very reassuring and I found his advice invaluable during the initial negotiations leading to the Heads of Terms. This resulted in a successful meeting with the Purchaser and the eventual sale of my business. I am ever so grateful to Simon for his help, without which the sale of my business would have been difficult. I would have no hesitation in recommending Simon to anyone requiring professional help of the highest standard from a person of complete integrity.”
Bill Cameron, F Church Ltd
Many thanks for patience & guidance!
We are relieved it finally went through, we can now live our life in Cornwall.

Hayley and James, Silver Birch Bouquets
Carmelina and I would like to thank you very much for the excellent service you have provided. You found a number of interested parties to take on the restaurant, certainly more than we anticipated. We were very pleased therefore with the results of your marketing.
We have found you very easy to deal with and very responsive to all communication. Your advice on matters has also been extremely valuable. We would certainly recommend you to others in a similar position to ourselves.
Julian, 247 Cowley Road
A big THANK YOU to Simon Glover.
From the moment I first met Simon, he gave me reassurance and backup in his quiet confident manner but in no way pushy. Always on the end of the phone when I needed to ask things, even occasionally out of hours. He never wavered in the face of all the difficulties that the sale of my business threw at him, he was always patient, kind and professional.
Annie Vaughan, Annie’s Dogs
“This is the first time I’ve dealt with Central Business Agency Ltd t/a Business Partnership and I was very impressed. Simon was friendly, helpful and very prompt with all correspondence. We agreed a strategy and he marketed and arranged for the viewings, he dealt with all aspects of the sale and was happy to offer advice when requested. The whole sale process was easy and stress free which is exactly what was required”
James Price, Perdiswell Ltd
I just wanted to write a note of thanks for the excellent and efficient way you and your team dealt with the marketing and subsequent sale of my business here in Cheltenham.
I was cautious about the market conditions and truly thought I might have to wait longer to achieve a sale, but your excellent sales details and market knowledge soon resulted in people viewing which in turn led to an offer which you negotiated till acceptance.
Having sold many restaurant businesses over the years I know people can change their minds after the offer period, but you steered the sale to completion and made it all seem pretty effortless.
Please accept my sincerest thanks to you and your excellent team – and you can rest assured that if I need to sell again or can recommend your services it will be my pleasure to do so
Mark Bennett, Halfway to Heaven
