FAQ – Clearinsight Group

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Clearinsight a business broker or middle man?

No, neither! As a private investment company, we have our own funding as well as a list of potential investors. We are not brokers or part of a chain. Ideally, we want the businesses we buy or invest in to retain their management teams, staff, unique identity, and reputation.

Is this some big Venture Capital owned company?

No, absolutely not.

We are a small, family-owned company.

Will you change the name of my business?

If the business has a locally (or even nationally) recognised name, that's part of the appeal for us and one of the reasons we would be looking to acquire the business in the first place. It would be mad to change something we've invested in.

The only time we consider changing the name is if the deal structure is an asset purchase instead of a share purchase or if the brand has experienced some difficulties.

I want or need to sell the business quickly, is that something you can do?

It depends on the situation but potentially yes. We have the funding in place to buy businesses outright. Definitely worth booking a call and we can explore a solution.

My business is currently distressed, would you still consider buying it?

Yes, we are happy to look at your business, we are often in a position to help owners exit distressed businesses. Book a call and we can look at how we can help.

The business isn't as profitable as it was a few years ago, would you still consider buying it?

Yes, we are happy to look at your business. Book a call and we can look at how we can work together.

We don't have great documentation or systems, would you still consider buying it?

Yes, we are happy to look at your business. Book a call and we can look at how we can help.

We've never needed (or had the time) to do things like monthly management accounts, would you still be interested in the business?

Absolutely! We recognise that many businesses that are owner-operated don't have the time for things like that. We have several ways we can help you with that, book a call.

My business has been registered with a broker for some time now, would you still be interested?

Absolutely! Unfortunately, approximately 80% of businesses that list with brokers fail to sell. There are a number of reasons for this, happy to discuss this on a call.
