1.     Why hasn’t the seller got back to me?

There could be few reasons why sellers don't respond immediastely. In most cases it takes time to get to your enquiry and send the appropriate information to you. We will list some of the more common reason below.

•      The broker or seller is out of the office, or maybe, the seller doesn’t have enough information to qualify the buyer to respond.

•      The broker or seller has sent an e-mail response and the e-mail is bouncing back (not able to reach the intended recipient). Please make sure your e-mail is working at all times so you can get timely e-mails from Brokers or Sellers.

•      Some brokers may require you to sign a confidentiality agreement prior to any further information being sent out. Please remember this is sometimes an important requirement and it is often needed to protect the interests of the seller and the business being sold.

We encourage you to include as much information about yourself and why you are requesting the details of that business when you enquire.

It can take from as short as one day up to one week before you hear from the seller. If you have still heard nothing after one working week and would like Customer Services to contact the seller for you, please let us know via e-mail or through your members page and we will investigate it and notify you of our findings.

 

2.     Is there a fee to register as a buyer?
