The vendor is prepared to do whatever it takes so seamlessly integrate any new owner into the business. This could include spending 2-3 days per week in the office working with the new owner after the first month up to 3 months for free, then on a consultancy basis with very low fees for a further 3 months. By doing this it will enable the new owner to have expert guidance through to the critical Christmas seasonal peak.
