Any reader of anything I have published over the years will know about the pain that sellers endure in the event of a forced sale as a result of serious illness or unexpected injury, or even death. I have been deeply affected by several of these events. I have witnessed the pain of a disabled business owner, frustrated and unable to present things properly to potential buyers. I have listened belatedly to heirs of substantial businesses, confused, saddened, and finally angry at having been fleeced by business buyers.

As a member of The Suitegum Splinter, your business will be properly prepared, and so in the circumstances outlined above, if Suitegum is used to sell your business, we will discount the commission normally payable by a further 20% (in addition to the membership discount). You could think of it as a sort of mini insurance policy, if you want.

But more than that, we will extend the benefit to any business in which a majority shareholder is older than 60 at the time of giving us an instruction to act on behalf of the business.

Once again this benefit could be worth hundreds of thousands of Rands as a saving on the cost of selling your business – more than enough to take care of capital gains tax and estate duty in most cases and a substantial mitigation in others. But it is only available to members of The Suitegum Splinter.

So what does membership cost? As usual, I present you with more than one option, and these costs all exclude VAT:

R1,650-00 per month	Strictly by debit order, or
R8,910-00 6 monthly	A 10% discount, to be paid twice a year again on debit order, or
R15,780-00 annually	A 20% discount, to be paid annually on presentation of an invoice.

But, as they say in those plastic, over dubbed adverts on TV: "There is more". We will also give you free entry to our Prepare Your Business For Sale™ seminars, in which the full contents of the Prepare Your Business For Sale™ email course are divulged in one fell swoop. These seminars are held from time to time in various centres, and you will always be entitled to join in with a partner, shareholder, advisor or friend. The only proviso is that you have to attend with them.

Suitegum is regularly praised by its buyers for the quality of its businesses for sale, and the way in which they are prepared; and on several occasions in the last year those same buyers, either as sellers themselves or through advice to friends and family have pointed the way through Suitegum.

The Suitegum Splinter is a no contract – no obligation service. If we are as good as we say we are, there should be no requirements on you from our side to keep you interested, save a thirty day notice period if you want to discontinue for any reason. That really is simply to give us time to cancel debit order instructions without running into any problems with your accountants. By doing it this way, if we do our job, you will stay with us, and if we don't, you will move on.

I do hope you decide to join our exclusive movement. It is one which will have its members' interest stand head and shoulders above all others which are for sale at the time. They will be the types of businesses sought by investors in whatever industry.
