Your Name:  
           
 
Tel Code: Tel No.:   To be used for direct contact with the person specified under the first ''Your Name'' field.  The fax number that follows would not normally be used for any type of communication due to the sensitive nature of inadvertantly disclosing the seller's intentions to sell.

Fax Code: Fax No.:
 
Postal Address:  
 
eMail Address:  
Your valid email address must be entered into this field. If you do not want to be contacted by email (perhaps for confidentiality reasons) or do not have email facilities, then enter the email address as someone@somewhere.com   Without a valid address in this field the form will not complete and cannot be submitted. This is not necessarily the same email address to which queries from potential buyers will be sent - you set the contact details for queries at the bottom of this page.
We would use this email to make direct contact with you, the seller, for administrative issues.

R.S.A. Company Registration No.
At least one of the above two fields must be completed.  ( n/a for Brokers )

  Brokers: Preface with your broker code.
The name of the business that is being offered for sale. This is the name that will identify this item to you in the enquiry e-mails returned from the website.

A quick home page report allows buyers to see listings within daily commute distance from their home city.
 
Portability:   Suitability for Relocation to other Areas  
 
  High    Very portable. Can be relocated to any area without disruption. Few skilled and irreplaceable staff. Most client/supplier contact by phone, e-mail or post.
Can be instantly operated from anywhere else at no extra cost. (ie. internet based businesses)
  Medium    Possible to relocate with some disruption and cost. Would not be advisable, but is possible. Relocation would not substantially damage the business.
  Low    Relocation is not possible. But there may be limited value in licences, patents, technology or access to clients and suppliers which would add value to a similar operation at another location taking over.
  Zero    This business can only operate from the area specified. There is no potential whatever for it to be relocated elsewhere.
