This agency actively pressures and retaliates against clients who leave honest feedback.
Update: The Pre-Legal Team is now harassing further for £12,000 + VAT + interest + admin fees after learning about my honest feedback. This agency actively pressures and retaliates against clients who speak out.
Do not waste your money on Blacks Business Brokers. Speaking from first-hand experience, they promised they could sell my business and collected an upfront fee, but delivered no results. when I attempted to terminate the contract, they resorted to relentless harassment via calls and emails, effectively extorting me for even more fees to break free. Save yourself the headache and avoid working with them. Completely careless, untrustworthy and unprofessional.

The professional and attentive approach to the sale of a grade II listed property by Blacks Business Brokers ensured that all parties were informed and guided to completion in a timely manner. We were grateful for the expertise and responsive communication of Joanne Booth in particular. Highly recommended.

Excellent service from Joanne
Joanne was fantastic throughout the whole process. Although she was acting on behalf of the seller rather than myself, she regularly checked in with me, often every day or every other day, kept me updated and was always chasing things up to help keep the transaction moving.
She was extremely professional, responsive and proactive from start to finish, and was always a pleasure to deal with.
Based on my experience with Joanne throughout this purchase, I would have no hesitation using Blacks Business Brokers myself for a future acquisition or sale.
Thanks again Joanne for all your help and for seeing the transaction through to completion.

I honestly can’t thank Blacks Business Brokers enough. They successfully sold my first business for me three years ago, and after that experience, I had no hesitation in using them again when I decided to put my second business on the market just three months ago.
Once again, they have delivered beyond expectations. The service has been impeccable from start to finish — professional, proactive, and always keeping me informed throughout the process.
Their knowledge, dedication, and ability to manage the sale so efficiently has made the whole experience far less stressful than I expected. It’s rare to find a company that delivers such consistency and high standards time and time again.
I’m incredibly grateful for all their hard work and support and would highly recommend Blacks Business Brokers to anyone looking to sell their business.

I cannot recommend Black Business Brokers highly enough. From start to finish, they managed the sale process professionally, efficiently, and with complete transparency.
The whole process was handled seamlessly and exceeded my expectations at every stage. Their knowledge of the market, communication, and attention to detail gave me confidence throughout what could have been a very stressful process.
They guided me every step of the way, dealt with everything proactively, and made the entire sale feel straightforward and well managed. Their professionalism and commitment to achieving the best outcome were evident from day one.
I can’t thank the team enough for their hard work and support and would highly recommend them to anyone considering selling their business.

DO NOT RECOMMEND - BE WARNED
I would not recommend this company; they failed to sell my business. The interested parties had no cash, and it was evident they had no experience running a business.
The Blacks represtentive was constantly asking me to reduce the price, although the price was 3x annual net profit.
Then, once they could not sell it, they sent me a bill for £15,000, with a shady accounts department that puts the phone down on you when questioning. They then sent an invoice and then to a debt collection agency.
PLEASE note that YOU are personally liable for their fees, NOT the business, so be conscious of that.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that you are disappointed, but we do not accept several of the points raised.
No broker can guarantee a sale, and any transaction is dependent on buyer interest, funding, due diligence and commercial agreement between the parties. It is also normal for market feedback to be discussed with a client where pricing may be affecting the level or quality of interest received.
Our fees and payment obligations are clearly set out in the signed agreement before any work is undertaken. The invoice was not issued because the business “could not be sold”; it was issued in accordance with the agreed terms following withdrawal/termination of the instruction.
Where an account remains unpaid despite correspondence, we may escalate the matter through our standard recovery process. We do not accept the description of our accounts team as “shady”.
For confidentiality reasons, we cannot discuss private accounts or recovery details on Trustpilot. We remain willing to review any specific concerns directly if you contact us through the usual channels.

SCAMMERS!!!
I would give 0 star if I could. Don’t trust these people. They are just scammers. I gave them my business to sell it . I paid £1800 upfront , They didn’t even arrange one viewing in 6 months. Just a rip off.
I had another broker with £0 upfront he was arranging 2-3 viewing a week
The funny thing they called me asking for 5% after sale which I didn’t sell my business with them.😂😂😂
This is my honest review. AVOID WITH ALL COST.
RUBBISH SCAMMERS!!!!

Hi Haitham,
We are sorry to read that you are unhappy with your experience.
However, your review does not accurately reflect the full circumstances. We advised on several occasions that a valid non-domestic EPC was required in order for the business to be marketed in compliance with the legal requirements relating to commercial property, and that this needed to be put in place within the required timeframe rather than after a sale had been agreed.
We also believe that prospective buyers should be given clear information at the outset so that any interest is genuine and properly informed, rather than based on incomplete details that may not lead to a transaction once the full information is known.
While we appreciate your frustration, we do not accept that characterisation of our business or service. We remain willing to discuss the matter directly and professionally should you wish to do so.
