The business was established in 1986 and has cemented itself as a well-respected part of the community in Fife. Due to this, Willison Motors Ltd holds an excellent reputation and benefits from repeat custom.

The buyer has a background in the property and motor repairs sectors and intends to continue to develop the business.

Upon completion of the sale, our client said: “I had reached retirement age and that made it the right time to sell for me. I am very happy with the buyer and I am pleased the sale has happened”.

The Sales Negotiator said: “I am so pleased for our clients completing on this sale. The buyer was an excellent fit for the business and the successful completion was very satisfying for all parties. This sale highlighted the importance of having experienced accountants and solicitors from the outset as the complexities of a share sale would have been far beyond normal conveyancing.”

Our client re-enforced this, stating “To anyone who is wishing to sell their business, it is worth the costs of good solicitors and accountants”.
