Lucas and Weston.

Lucas & Weston Ltd is an independent, family run, business sales consultancy operating nationwide from our office in historic Bath.
Renowned and respected for representing high-quality SME industrial and service businesses, we specialise in sales worth between £250,000 - £10million. Great pride is taken in the many compliments we receive about the quality of the businesses we handle and the deals we complete.

We formed in 2003 when Howard Weston, our Managing Director, had become disillusioned working for a national mergers and acquisitions firm. Stagnated by limited business practises and knowing that there must be a better way of helping people sell their businesses, Howard joined forces with Julian Lucas, a semi-retired seasoned professional. We have a combined business sales experience of thirty-two years which has helped make us one of the fastest-growing business brokers in the UK.

Is our experience solely academic? Most definitely not. We have started, built, run, managed, bought and sold several of our own businesses. We are in the unique position of knowing exactly what issues and concerns you might have because we've had to confront them too.

Sell your business.

Retire to the Spanish villa you bought ten years ago, where you never spend enough time because you have a business to run. Develop your property portfolio. Invest in a property for your children. Spend more time with your family. Take that cruise around the world. Bring down the golf handicap. Complete the university degree you started twenty years ago but never finished. What about not having the responsibility and constant demands of running a business? These are just a few of the things we've helped our clients achieve recently through the sale of their businesses. We'd like to help you too.

Selling a business can be one of the most financially rewarding experiences you ever undertake. It can also be the culmination of a lifetime's work. The process is time consuming and demanding - with pitfalls all around. You want to get it right. Getting it wrong costs considerable time, money and hassle. It can also do serious damage to your value.
We are amazed at the lack of judgement and care people often take when going about selling their business. That is why we want you to get in touch with us first, without cost or obligation, so we can explain both what is possible and what can be expected. We are often contacted by vendors who have either tried to sell their business themselves or through another broker or their accountant, without success. They have wasted month upon month. Often a few critical things had been overlooked.


Imagine the disappointment and frustration when nothing happens let alone the delay to your future plans. This is of course all avoidable if you take the time to start off on the right footing.


Whether you want to sell your business today or in a few years' time, you can never plan early enough. Maybe you already know what's involved? Maybe you're curious? Perhaps you'd just like to ask a few questions? Whatever the reason, Lucas and weston should be the first people you contact..Call now on 0845 6440266.
