Description
Geographical areas: UK
Data to include: I need to find out what business brokers (also called business transfer agents) charge. I have some data from my personal experience with business brokers in the past, plus some data gleaned from comments and articles on the Internet. The data from Internet sources is less meaningful so I am not looking for this any more. I need more "primary" research data, i.e. business brokers describing first-hand how their fee structure works. To ask them, you will need to call them and / or email them.
This is for the UK market (business brokers / business transfer agents in the UK only).
I can provide the data that I have already, to get you started and give you an idea of how I would like the data to be structured (in a spreadsheet).
Extra notes:
When you make the phone calls, it is probably not worth asking a receptionist - better to ask to be put through to a broker - in this case it would be a matter of asking how their process works, including their pricing. I am mainly interested in the pricing (basically I need the attached spreadsheet completed), but if you find out more information about their process during the call, there is no harm in recording this too (on a separate document - just brief notes in a Word document would be fine). But mainly I am interested in the pricing structure. Longer phone calls like this might go for 10-15 minutes if you get into a discussion with a broker, whereas others might only be 1 minute or less, if the receptionist won't put you through. I would hope that you could have good quality conversations with 4 brokers per hour. I am hoping for 25-30, but 20 good quality ones would be acceptable too.

How many hours of interaction/information capture are you looking for this to take approx?
Taliesen H.28 Jul 2017No particular number of hours. I need the pricing structures of approximately 25-30 business brokers (out of approximately 400 business broker companies in the UK).
Francis E.28 Jul 2017I could probobly cover 6 calls plus detailed record taking/noting of their responses in about 4 hours.
If we say a fifth hour for possible dropped calls, the person isn't around, can't get past the PA, the number provided is wrong Taliesen how's that. Obviously the rate ph wouldn't be premium rates.. -
