For business owners

Thinking about the next chapter for your business?

If you are considering retirement, do not have a clear successor, or want to reduce day-to-day responsibility, Northmere Group may be a practical long-term home for the business you have built in Nottingham, Derby, Chesterfield or elsewhere in the East Midlands.

A practical alternative to closing down

For some owners, the choice can feel limited: keep going indefinitely, close the business, or sell to a buyer who may not understand it. We offer another route for established companies with real value, loyal customers, and a future worth protecting.

Continuity for staff and customers

We know that many owners care deeply about what happens next. Our focus is to protect the strengths of the business, support the team, and maintain customer confidence through the transition.

Flexible transition options

Some owners want to step away quickly. Others prefer a phased handover. We are open to discussing a transition that reflects the needs of the owner, the team, and the business.

A confidential first conversation

You do not need to be ready to sell immediately. A first conversation can simply explore fit, timing, and whether selling your business due to retirement or succession could be sensible.

Succession situations

Relevant for owners who want more than a transaction.

Retiring business owner speaking with a successor or adviser

Owners often start quietly, long before a formal sale process. You may simply be asking who could buy my business in Nottingham, Derby, Chesterfield or the wider East Midlands, whether an owner-managed business sale is realistic, or how to protect the people and customer relationships built over many years.
