"There is no doubting that deciding to sell a pharmacy, especially one that you have spent almost your whole working life (41 years) in, is a significant one. Stewart, to his credit, allowed us the time we needed to come to that conclusion (with a few subtle and sensible prompts).

Once you have decided to sell, the potentially hard work begins. Assembling the information that Stewart needed to prepare a comprehensive Pharmacy Profile is first, and Stewart made that as painless as possible by maximising his input and sensitively coaxing the rest out of us. Of course, it should also be noted that he knew and drew out the information needed to make the Pharmacy Profile as effective as possible.

The next step, the marketing of the pharmacy is obviously of paramount importance to any seller, and here Stewart’s brokerage really came to the fore for us, with his network of potential buyers meaning that he was marketing our pharmacy to a wide range of potential buyers."
