I have just listed a small gift and specialty shop. However I can not market the name and I have to get confidentiality agreements signs to even discuss with another agent. I have all the necessary financials and think this will be a great business for someone since the owner is retiring and willing to stay on for a time to help the new buyer get settled. I would appreciate any marketing ideas you could share with me.

Hi Connie, First of all, I'll just say, "I have no idea!"
So now, I'm just thinking out loud...wouldn't you market it just the same, except call it "your new gift shop" or "Business Opportunity for small shoppe in Owensboro" Instead of actual pictures of the building, utilize a black and white clipart shoppe and list the specifics of the property??
I'm anxious to see any other comments -- very interesting dilemma!

Turn Key business for sale
Shhhhh its a secret!
But now I have to ask, why would they want thought such secrecy? Is the nature of the shoppe so delicate that the thought of a pending sale would ruin the current business? I just don't get it...

The owner has a fear it will hurt their business if we advertise the name. I had thought of the clip art and think that will help. Its a great little business and I'm sure this will all work out. Thanks for your comments.

Have been there. Seller had agreed to noncompetition clause and had agreed to help the new buyer during a 30 day transition period. Did this:
Thriving business for sale in (fill in the name of the area). Sellers want it to continue to thrive after you buy it so the name of the business is being withheld. Seller agrees to a noncompetition clause and will remain active in the day to day after the sale for 30 days if you prefer. Only buyers with proof of ability to purchase and willing to sign a confidentiality agreement, will have details disclosed to them. Don't miss out if you are looking for a good business in this area.

I sold my shop several years ago, and was VERY PUBLIC! Mu mom, on the other hand wanted to sell her (flower) shop in the manner of your clients, with the same reasoning. One suggestion I had for her, was to contact customers who had expressed interest in her business, investing in her business, and/or working for her in the past. Proposed as a "fact-finding" mission, for "potential sale". She had a thriving business and was ready to retire. She eventually closed the doors, and walked away.
