WARNING - BEWARE OF THE  EXCESSIVE UP FRONT FEE AGENTS

Almost all business sales agents will charge to place a buisness on the market. The problem is that some agents who can not sell businesses in the current economic climate are depending on these fees to survive and are now charging £800 - many thousands of pounds to place a business on their register!
