March was a very busy month, with three business sales successfully completed.

These included the sale of a long established joinery and manufacturing firm in Inverness, Highland Lassie - a luxury floating hotel and restaurant based in Inverness, and the picturesque Nanny’s café in Shieldaig.

The businesses were sold respectively to a strategic trade buyer, an overseas operator relocating from the USA to Scotland, and an ambitious local husband-and-wife team.

In addition, two further businesses in Inverness and Elgin were placed under offer, with completion expected shortly.

There was also an incredible seven new instructions brought to market.

Wishing all new operators every success, and a long and happy retirement to my clients.

If you’re considering a sale, now is a very good time to explore your options.
