Why Choose a CMC Business Advisors Franchise?

Baby Boomers are retiring at a phenomenal rate, creating a wave of well-established businesses that have little to no succession plans in place. Unfortunately, most of these businesses have not been positioned to sell, which is why approximately 9 out of 10 small business never sell or end up winding down.

CMC Business Advisors are experts in small business exit planning. We offer a ‘cradle-to-grave’ service, helping small businesses to Grow, prepare for Exit and then physically Sell the business when they are ready. We have worked with over 1000 long-term clients, with an average lifetime value of 3+ years, and sold businesses to the accumulated value of over £156 million.

If you are looking to build a more substantial income, the business can easily scale up in line with to your personal aspirations. We have had Business Advisors earn up to £200,000 in fees, making £100,000+ per annum highly attainable.
