JC Business Sales provides commercial advisory services relating to business ownership, business valuations, business sale preparation, exit planning, buyer identification and the sale and acquisition of businesses.

The services provided in any particular engagement will depend on the circumstances of the transaction, applicable regulatory requirements and the terms of the relevant written agreement.

These Terms & Conditions govern the use of this website and its publicly available content.

By using this website, visitors are subject to these Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms limits any statutory rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

2. Nature and Scope of Services

JC Business Sales provides business advisory and brokerage services within the scope of activities it is legally authorised to undertake.

Our services may include:

Preliminary assessments of business value.
Business sale preparation and exit planning.
Commercial analysis and business positioning.
Identification and introduction of prospective buyers.
Marketing and negotiation relating to the transfer of business interests and trading assets, where legally permissible.
General guidance on the business sale and acquisition process.

Certain transactions may involve freehold property, commercial leases or other interests in land.

Where a proposed transaction involves services regulated under the Property Services (Regulation) Act 2011, those services must be undertaken by an appropriately licensed property services provider operating under the required arrangements.

JC Business Sales does not represent that it is authorised to provide regulated property services unless the applicable licensing requirements have been satisfied.

The nature of any property-related services and the responsibilities of the relevant parties will be established separately where applicable.

Nothing on this website constitutes an offer by JC Business Sales to undertake any activity for which it does not hold the necessary legal authorisation.

3. General Information and Professional Advice

The content published on this website is provided for general information and educational purposes.

Although JC Business Sales aims to provide useful and commercially informed guidance, website information does not constitute:

Formal financial or investment advice.
Legal advice.
Tax advice.
An independently verified business valuation.
A recommendation to purchase or sell any particular business.
A guarantee of any financial or commercial outcome.

The information provided may not be appropriate to every business, individual or transaction.

Business owners and prospective buyers should seek appropriate independent professional advice before making significant financial, legal, commercial or investment decisions.

Where appropriate, this may include advice from qualified accountants, solicitors, tax advisers, financial professionals or appropriately licensed property services providers.

4. Enquiries and Client Engagements

Submitting an enquiry, using an online calculator, requesting information or participating in an initial consultation does not, by itself, establish a formal brokerage or advisory engagement with JC Business Sales.

An initial consultation is provided without obligation unless otherwise expressly agreed.

Any subsequent appointment will be subject to a separate written agreement defining, as appropriate:

The services to be provided.
The scope of the appointment.
The responsibilities of the parties.
Applicable fees and payment arrangements.
Confidentiality obligations.
Any relevant regulatory requirements.
The duration and termination of the engagement.

JC Business Sales reserves the right to decline an enquiry or proposed engagement where appropriate, subject to applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms removes legal duties that may arise independently of a written engagement agreement.

5. Business Listings and Marketing Information

Business opportunities advertised on this website are presented for general information and preliminary consideration only.

Business descriptions, asking prices, financial information, operational details and other particulars may be based on information supplied by business owners or their representatives.

Although reasonable care is taken in preparing marketing information, such information may not have been independently audited or verified.

Prospective buyers should not treat website particulars as a substitute for independent investigation or professional due diligence.

In particular:

Advertised asking prices are not guarantees of market value or eventual transaction price.
Financial figures may be historical, indicative or based on information supplied by the seller.
Descriptions of growth opportunities are not guarantees of future performance.
Business availability, pricing and other particulars may change or be withdrawn without notice.
Photographs may be illustrative unless otherwise indicated.
Property and lease information is subject to verification and any applicable legal or regulatory requirements.

Publication of a business listing does not constitute a binding offer to sell or an agreement to enter into a transaction.

Prospective purchasers are responsible for conducting appropriate financial, legal, commercial and operational due diligence before making any binding commitment.

Additional business information may be subject to buyer qualification, satisfactory confidentiality arrangements and the seller's authority to disclose such information.

Any property services requiring statutory licensing will be dealt with only through appropriately authorised arrangements.

6. Online Business Valuation Calculator

JC Business Sales provides a free online SME Valuation Range Finder intended to help business owners obtain an initial, indicative assessment of potential business value.

6.1 Purpose of the Calculator

The calculator is an educational and preliminary assessment tool.

It is designed to illustrate how selected business characteristics may influence an indicative valuation range.

Its outputs are not formal business valuations, certified valuation reports or professional opinions prepared following a detailed examination of the business.

6.2 Valuation Methodology

The calculator uses a simplified earnings-based model.

It applies predefined sector-based earnings multiples and adjustments reflecting selected commercial and operational characteristics, which may include:

Business sector.
Reported turnover and adjusted earnings.
Revenue growth.
Owner dependency.
Customer and revenue characteristics.
Quality of financial records.
Property or lease circumstances.
Trading history.

The resulting calculations are based on assumptions embedded in the model and information entered by the user.

The calculator does not access live business transaction databases or independently establish current market multiples.

6.3 User Inputs

The accuracy and relevance of any estimate depend substantially on the completeness and accuracy of the information entered.

The calculator does not independently verify:

Reported turnover.
Profitability or maintainable earnings.
Adjustments to owner remuneration.
Discretionary or exceptional expenses.
Assets and liabilities.
Financial records.
Commercial or operational circumstances.

Different interpretations of adjusted profit, EBITDA or other earnings measures may produce materially different valuation outcomes.

Users should therefore regard the results as illustrative rather than definitive.

6.4 Exclusions and Limitations

The calculator does not undertake a full professional valuation.

In particular, it does not separately assess or value:

Freehold or other property interests.
Surplus or non-operating assets.
Stock and inventory.
Detailed working capital requirements.
Debt or other financial liabilities.
Asset-backed valuation methodologies.
Discounted cash flow valuations.
Business-specific tax implications.
Detailed lease rights, renewal rights or assignment conditions.
Transaction structure and associated legal considerations.

Accordingly, the calculator may be unsuitable for businesses with substantial property or other asset holdings, limited or negative profitability, unusual financial circumstances or business models requiring alternative valuation approaches.

The estimated range may differ materially from a valuation supported by verified accounts, detailed due diligence, current market evidence and professional assessment.

6.5 No Guarantee of Sale Price

An indicative valuation is not a guarantee that a business could be sold for the amount shown.

An eventual transaction price will depend on numerous factors, including buyer demand, independently verified financial performance, business risks, financing availability, transaction structure and negotiations between the parties.

Users should obtain appropriate professional advice before relying on valuation information for significant business or financial decisions.

6.6 Calculator Privacy

The calculator is currently designed to perform its financial calculations locally within the visitor's web browser.

Financial figures entered into the calculator are not transmitted to JC Business Sales or stored by the calculator.

Visitors are not required to provide their name or contact information to use the calculator.

The calculator is hosted using GitHub Pages, which may process technical information associated with visits to the hosted webpage.

Any personal information subsequently provided through a separate consultation request or contact facility will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

7. Accuracy and Availability of Website Information

JC Business Sales endeavours to keep website information reasonably accurate, relevant and up to date.

However, information may become outdated, incomplete or inaccurate due to changes in business circumstances, market conditions, legislation or other factors.

We do not guarantee that:

All published information will be complete or free from error.
Website content will remain continuously available.
All third-party links will remain operational.
Business listings will remain available.
Automated tools will operate without interruption.

JC Business Sales may amend, suspend or remove website content or functionality where reasonably necessary.

Material errors brought to our attention will be considered and corrected where appropriate.

8. Confidentiality and Data Protection

JC Business Sales recognises that business valuations, proposed business sales, ownership information and related commercial discussions can involve highly confidential matters.

We aim to exercise appropriate discretion in handling enquiries and commercially sensitive information provided to us.

However, visitors should avoid submitting detailed financial statements, commercially sensitive records, passwords or other highly confidential information through general website contact forms unless specifically requested through an appropriate secure process.

Initial website enquiries do not automatically establish a formal confidentiality agreement or professional advisory relationship.

Where additional confidentiality protections are required, these may be addressed through separate confidentiality agreements or engagement arrangements.

Personal data submitted through this website will be processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection legislation.

Our Privacy Policy explains the purposes for which personal data is collected, the relevant lawful bases, applicable recipients, retention arrangements and individual data protection rights.

Use of the website is also subject to any applicable Cookie Policy.

9. Limitation of Liability

JC Business Sales takes reasonable care in preparing and presenting information on this website.

Nevertheless, general website information and automated valuation estimates are provided without any guarantee of accuracy, completeness or suitability for a particular purpose.

Users should independently verify material information and obtain appropriate professional advice before making commercial, financial or investment decisions.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, JC Business Sales does not accept responsibility for losses arising solely from reliance on general website content, unverified business particulars or automated indicative valuation estimates.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or restricts liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability or statutory right that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.

Where JC Business Sales is formally engaged to provide services, the respective rights and obligations of the parties will be governed by the applicable engagement agreement and relevant law.

11. Third-Party Websites and Services

This website may contain links to external websites or use services provided by third parties, including website-hosting platforms and embedded applications.

Such links and services are provided for convenience or website functionality.

JC Business Sales does not control the content, availability or independent privacy practices of third-party websites.

Visitors should review the applicable terms and privacy information of third-party services where relevant.

Nothing in this section excludes any responsibility that JC Business Sales may have under applicable law in relation to its own selection, use or management of third-party service providers.

12. Governing Law and Changes to These Terms

These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of Ireland, subject to any mandatory legal protections that may apply.
