Would not recommend

In my experience, this company's conduct has been deeply unprofessional, and I'd caution any business owner to be careful dealing with them.

A representative came into my shop and gave a full sales pitch about advertising and promoting my business. I did not accept any offer, sign anything, or agree to a contract. I left the premises shortly afterwards.

Months later, I began receiving invoices for "advertising charges" totalling around £500 plus VAT. To this day I've been given no evidence that any service was actually delivered — no campaign reports, screenshots, leads, links, or results of any kind.

Rather than resolving my dispute, they escalated the matter to court, with the amount now inflated to over £900 — for something I never requested, agreed to, or benefited from. This has caused me real stress, not least because it puts a disputed charge at risk of affecting my credit file.

Based on my experience, I would avoid this company

Not even 1 star

Not even 1 star. In my opinion this company is dishonest and operates like a scam.

They came to my shop in person and delivered a full sales pitch about their advertising and how they would promote my business. I did not accept any offer, did not agree to any contract, and shortly after that I left the shop premises entirely.

Despite this, a few months later I started receiving invoices for “advertising charges” totalling around £500 plus VAT. I have never received any clear proof of what was delivered, where it was advertised, any campaign reports, screenshots, leads, or results—nothing that shows a service was actually provided or used by me.

Instead of resolving it properly, they escalated it and have now taken it to court, with the amount increased to £900+ for something I did not request, agree to, or benefit from. This has put me under serious stress because it risks impacting my credit file over a disputed charge.
I would avoid this company.

Would highly recommend HSH to anyone…

Would highly recommend HSH to anyone looking to sell their business. They were professional, friendly, and kept me updated with the progression of my sale from beginning to end. I will definitely be using them again if the opportunity ever arises. Thanks again for all your help!

Great. Sold my restaurant

Sold my restaurant through Harvey Silver Hodgkinson, I was really impressed with their service. Professional and transparent it was a straightforward process from my first meeting till the sale completed. The team are helpful and Steven really came thru for me. I highly recommended them to any operator looking to sell their business. I will definitely use HSH again in future ventures.

STAY CLEAR AWAY. STAY SAFE FROM THIS DAYLIGHT ROBBERS.

A greedy scammer business that cannot sell anything but certainly will take you to the court to get £5500 via CCJ.

HSH’s business is to make money by CCJ.

I have a friend had a pathetic experience with this gang of criminals.

Please read the negative feedback first before signing any contracts with them.

STAY CLEAR AWAY. STAY SAFE FROM THIS DAYLIGHT ROBBERS.

Exercise extreme caution when dealing…

Exercise extreme caution when dealing with Harvey Silver Hodgkinsons. My experience revealed a disconcerting pattern of fraudulent operations, with the team providing inadequate time for contract review and intentionally misleading about terms and fees. Signing with them proved to be a trap, resulting in significant financial damage and stress.

In my opinion, Harvey Silver Hodgkinsons prioritizes trapping individuals and extracting money rather than offering fair and transparent dealings. I strongly urge anyone considering engagement with them to exercise extreme caution, conduct thorough research, and be wary of potential financial risks.

Professional Business Sales Process

Steven @ HSH was so professional at getting our business photographed and listed, and it wasn't long before we had interested parties in the business. A few were false starts sadly or were unable to raise the capital they needed to purchase, but the right buyer came along earlier this moth and our sale went through absolutely seamlessly. Steven and his team at HSH take all the stress and worry of finding and matching the right buyer for your business, so you can focus on carrying on with running your business until that sale comes to fruition. Highly recommend their services!

Cafe to let

HSH was appointed to find a tenant for my cafe. I am very pleased with their services which were very efficient and professional. A tenant was found very quickly. I would recommend HSH to anyone.

Excellent

We sold a hospitality business during covid, which was a bumpy ride due to successive lockdowns and uncertainty. However the level of support given by Steven at HSH was fantastic. He kept us sane throughout and was always calm, professional, adept, flexible - a great negotiator and problem-solver. Thank you so much for getting us through it.
