It's not every day we get to share some good news - so I wanted to take the moment to do just that.

From today, 1st May 2026, I've been appointed as an Associate Client Director with a trusted Associate Company to handle enquiries for businesses for sale, valued from £5m to £50m.

This is alongside Stirling, where we typically handle businesses valued at between £500k to £5m, so it's a perfect association, where now have access to even greater technical resources for business owners who appreciate a high level of personal service and expertise.

And for businesses valued less than £500k, we already have a trusted Associate Company, who provide hands-on support at every stage.

So, when something's worthwhile celebrating it's good to share the good news with something positive - so I've decided to offer my Second Edition book on selling businesses FREE to business owners who are thinking about selling their business.

Based on my 25 years experience of selling businesses, the book is written in plain English - no unnecessary jargon - and where technical terms were needed, they are clearly explained.

The book was created specifically for owners who are:
• Thinking about selling
• Unsure where to start
• Wondering what’s involved
• Looking for practical, real-world guidance
If you’re even remotely considering selling your business - now or in the future - this guide will give you clarity, structure, and confidence about the process.

Here’s what other business owners have said:

“Written in an enjoyable, self-deprecating style. Plenty of punchy, proven, practical advice to serve as a checklist to help sell your business.”

“‘a readable and practical guide for anyone starting to think about a business sale. I will be recommending it to all the business owners I work with.”

“A refreshingly open and often witty account of the business sales process, delivered in a concise and structured manner, offering a wealth of well-founded advice from real-world experience.”

And finally, if "celebrating good news reinforces hope, boosts joy and improves emotional well-being" then it's worth the cost to post you a copy - it could transform your life!

New Export Market Development Service from Stirling - While many business owners focus on driving organic growth within their existing markets, one powerful and often overlooked opportunity is export market development. This is understandable—exporting can feel more complex, requiring new contacts, knowledge, and confidence. In fact, it’s often said that winning business overseas can be up to six times more challenging than securing it domestically.

However, domestic markets are not always easy either—particularly during periods of economic uncertainty. That’s why now could be the ideal time to explore opportunities beyond your home market and position your business within the global economy.

To support this, Stirling works alongside an experienced export specialist with nearly 20 years of proven success in helping businesses expand internationally. Whether you’re completely new to exporting or already have some experience, an initial conversation can help you assess whether export market development is the next step for your business.
