Stelios is joined by Andrew Markou, CEO and co-founder of BusinessesForSale.com. Together they break down what really drives the value of small hospitality businesses, with direct relevance to fish and chip shops.

They also explore succession trends, the do's and don'ts of improving a business after purchase, and why franchising is growing in the UK, plus what independent operators can learn from a franchise-style mindset.
