Business Transfer Stocktakes

At 'RS' we value retail stock accurately with little or no disturbance of the day-to-day running of the clients business.

We offer competitive rates for all stocktaking assignments.

Business Transfer Stocktakes.

This service is available irrespective of whether the business is purchased through 'RS' or through another Agent.

Most Business Transfer Stocktakes take place on the day of completion of a business acquisition or on a day agreed by both parties.  Usually the business is closed while the stocktake is in progress, but by adjusting for sales during the count it is possible to hold the stocktake while the store is open.

When conducting Business Transfer Stocktakes we usually work for both parties, and then it is normal for the fee to be shared between the vendor and the purchaser. When working for one party only it is then our aim to agree the value of the stock with the other party's valuer.

An independent stocktake relieves the pressure when completing a sale/purchase. Usually on the day a business transfers from Vendor to Purchaser both parties are involved in exchanging and absorbing information to ensure continuity of trading, conducting your own stocktake can be a major headache.  

Please remember all stock is valued, not just counted.

Annual/Interim Stocktakes.

These stocktakes are equally important. Guessing your stock-level at the financial year-end could lead to inaccurate profit margins, leading to possible overpayment of income tax, or even affecting the true value of your business.

Please remember a good Valuer can save you time and possibly expense.

Prior to conducting a stocktake we arrange to speak to all parties concerned to explain and agree the manner in which the service is to be conducted and to agree our fee. The charges for our stocktaking services are most competitive and realistic.
