Easy to set up

Fairly simple procedure. Only pity is I couldn't rerun an old ad from two years ago which would have saved time

Selling a guest house in Blackpool

It is early days to see the response from the advert we have placed to sell our guest house in Blackpool, but I would like to thank Ami and her colleagues at Dalton's who are so helpful, completely professional and actually care. It has been very easy to load up the advert and pictures and Ami has been there if we needed any help. We hope for a sale in the New Year.

Good value for the price paid

Advert did its job and produced some enquiries which eventually led to a sale.

I did receive a few 'rogue' responses which I felt were bot generated but on the whole I was happy with the price I paid for the 3 month listing.

Put an advert on Daltons business on 3rd of May - it’s not showing on any searches . I have rung 9 times since Monday and no answer, I have filled out the contact from and sent it 3 times and no answer. I have spoken to the chat online and they said they will get someone to ring me back and no ring back - what a dreadful company. I see everyone on here seem to have the same problem .

Hi Ceri

I have had a look at your listing and can see that you have selected to not list your business under any location. As a result, to find your listing, you must search Fish and Chips Shops for sale without assigning a location. Your listing is listed on the 2nd page of the search results.

https://www.daltonsbusiness.com/fish-and-chip-shops-businesses-for-sale/page/2/

I have also had a look at the views and enquiries for your listings via the Enquiries Report. Since posting your listing on the 3rd of May you have had 146 views and 3 enquiries. We would consider this to be excellent engagement considering your listing has been live for only a few weeks.

The Messages page also indicate that you have not yet responded to the 3 enquiries you have received. I would recommend that you reply to theses messages as soon as possible as we encourage seller to reply to enquiries with a 48-hour period. You can find the Messages on your Dashboard or by clicking the link below.

Had no real responses.

Had no real responses.
After I listed my business I've got some responses throughout the year, but they were absolutely the same. It's the same message saying ''Please contact me about this business'', but if you call the number provided, either no one answered, or someone answered but I clearly saw they weren't interested. No one ever actually called me or sent anything else, just the same ''please contact me'' messages. After some time I understood these were fake enquiries, probably some of the reviews here are fake as well.
I've got much more responses after I put exactly the same add to Facebook Marketplace.
That's my experience, Daltons was just a waste of time and money.

No support at all despite 2 polite inquiries

I wish to sell my business in the UK, because of all European countries the motorvehicle-related product can help there the most. In order to achieve the most of my ad I firstly sent a very polite inquiry for assistance to sales at daltonsbusiness.com in the very early morning of Dec. 23rd 2021. I never received an answer. After putting the issue aside for a couple of weeks and almost forgetting about the disappointment I decided to give it another try and registered with them. On March 2nd 2022 in the early
morning I sent another very polite inquiry for assistance of roughly the same contents, this time through the support form of the Daltonsbusiness website. This time I even had crystal clear evidence that Daltonsbusiness is in receipt of my inquiry since I received an automated answer. Again my efforts were dignified with no answer at all.

If a prospective paying customer, that desperately wishes to spend money to advertise on this platform, has to experience so much ignorance, how will then customers be treated, that have already committed to make the investment ? In my opinion an unwanted customer has at least deserved a clear rejection so he can coordinate his further steps towards a different way of selling his business.

Pure ignorance in contrast is absolutely counterproductive and deserves only one reaction: Adequate publication in the corresponding platforms to prevent others from getting disappointed and spending their money.
