The Fig & Fox Company began as a couple-run business to promote locally made food and drink through eco-friendly gift hampers and a subscription box service. We extended to cover a food consultancy for local food businesses/restaurants and private chef experience which use fresh, local food. The latter two elements may be difficult to transition to a new buyer due to the services/skills coming directly from the present owners.
Currently set as Peterborough based, 'local' is defined as anywhere from a 50 mile radius. Subscribers are based throughout Peterborough, Huntingdon and Stamford but products can be purchased online and delivered (currently via Royal Mail). This business could easily be relocated to be based around your local area or expand into a franchise format to promote different counties.
Due to family circumstances, we are now looking to sell the business in its entirity. This includes the website, stock, branding and communications. We have currently stopped trading but have loyal subscribers who are on a mailing list who could rejoin.
Do not pay any deposit to private sellers upfront. If you are looking to purchase a business, we advise that any deposits or transactions made are through a solicitor to prevent fraudulent activities from occuring.
Do not share confidential information with any private sellers, including your home address, account passwords, bank accounts and credit card information.
The vast majority of these scams involve the transfer of substantial sums of money. We advise all transactions made are through a solicitor to prevent fraudulent activities from occuring.
Send a test amount before you consider handing over a large amount of funds. Maybe even try transferring £1, and then speaking to your solicitor to confirm receipt.
Do not disclose proof of funds directly to the sellers. If the sellers request you to show proof of funds, we advise that it is done through a solicitor to prevent fraudulent activities from occuring.
Buying a business is not covered by consumer rights legislation. It is your responsibility to acquire a business that holds up in quality and agreement.
Fraudsters will typically use false news in an attempt to get you to act quickly. For example, 'Your account has been disabled. Reset your password now.'.
Review the performance of a business to make appropriate financial projections. Some businesses are dormant or not trading, so it is essential to check their short and long-term potential.
