Unipart Automotive has launched a business matchmaking initiative as part of its franchise programme.

Unipart Automotive is looking for those who want to sell their business to register on the www.expressfactors.co.uk website, so that they can match a seller with an Express Factors' buyer.

Gary Carscadden, sales and operations director at Express Factors, said: “Someone might be nearing retirement or they could be running an existing motor factor business which they wish to exit.

"By registering the fact that they wish to sell their business with us they could realise a swift easy sale.”

The transition could take place in as little as 12 weeks.

The initiative from Unipart is designed to give new Express Factors franchisees a foothold in the market.

“We are using our experience in the sector for the benefit of those at different ends of the business spectrum,” said Carscadden.

“In many ways what we are offering is akin to a matchmaking operation, but all facilitated by the established format and processes of our Express Factors programme”.
