Terms of use

Last updated 16 September 2026.

Who these terms are between

Between you, as a user of markostrachan.com, and Strachan Consultancy Limited, company number SC781194, registered in Scotland at Office 2:6, 1 Redwood Crescent, Glasgow, South Lanarkshire, G74 5PA.

By using the site you accept them. If you do not, stop using it.

If you are buying something from us, different terms apply and they are the ones that govern: the Booking Terms for the Three Years Out programme, and a signed engagement letter for advisory work.

Nothing here is advice

Everything on this site, including the articles, the valuation questions and the scorecard, is general information. It is not advice about your business and you should not act on it as though it were.

We do not give regulated financial advice, investment advice, tax advice or legal advice, and nothing on this site is any of those things. Where your situation needs one of them, take it from somebody qualified to give it.

Any figure, range or example on this site is illustrative. What a buyer would actually pay for your business depends on your business.

What belongs to us

The content of this site is ours, or used with permission. You may read it, print it and share a link to it.

You may not republish it, sell it, or present it as your own work. If you want to quote from it, quote it and say where it came from.

What you must not do

Do not use the site in a way that damages it or interferes with anyone else's use of it, do not use it for anything unlawful, and do not attempt to gain access to any part of it that is not public.

Links to other sites

Where we link to somebody else's site, we do not control it and we are not responsible for what is on it. A link is not an endorsement.

Availability

We do not promise the site will always be available or always be free of errors, and we are not liable if it is not. We may change or remove any part of it.

Our liability to you

Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.

Beyond that, and because this site is free to use, we are not liable to you for any loss arising from using it, including lost profits, lost opportunities, or any indirect loss.

Privacy

What we hold about you and why is set out in our privacy notice.

General

We may change these terms. The version on this page is the one that applies, and the date at the top tells you when it last changed.

If any part of these terms cannot be enforced, the rest still applies.

These terms are governed by the law of Scotland, and the Scottish courts have exclusive jurisdiction.
