Leading tourism experts say that in many hotels, the prices had to be lowered to fill the rooms and also that many bars and restaurants have planned to close early. The Magaluf water park has already closed, one month earlier than it was expected to close. The business community in Magalluf claimed that the tourists spent less than usual this year.

Most of the local hotels might be closing by this month and this would lead to an increase in unemployment. Right now, there are 43’000 unemployed people in the Balearics and this figure is expected to rise after the summer season. The local government would be under great pressure to attract larger number of tourists to the island in this winter.

They have been on holiday several times to Santa Ponsa and have decided that this is where they wish to start their new life.

We are currently in talks with two business agencies and one owner directly who does not wish to sell through an agency.

We anticipate a very quick sale on this one.

The first thing to remember is that we work on your behalf searching for suitable businesses for you here in Mallorca. We do not work for the business seller.

All you need to do is discuss your requirements, budget, time-scale and specific needs and we do all the searching, fact finding and arranging. We then report back to you with targeted results, advice and recommendations.

It really is that simple, however if you don’t want to use our services then the choice is entirely yours, but below will be the normal route you and most people will probably follow:

• You will spend days googling for “Business for sale in Mallorca” “Bars to rent in Majorca” and all the other search options you can think of.
• You will find many agencies offering a myriad of business for sale, all telling you how great they are.
• You will notice that many of the businesses are for sale on several different agency sites, quite often at different prices, with different rents and conflicting descriptions. Confusing?
• You will now have to decide which businesses you feel are right. This may be a pointless exercise as many of the sites don’t update their listings that often so you may find that the bar you set your heart on actually sold last year!
• You have now spent ages filling in request forms, making long distant calls to Mallorca, ascertaining which businesses are actually still available and planning your trip.
• You book your flight, sort out your accommodation, arrange inspections and over you come, full of hope and expectation.
• You now have to juggle between all the agencies you have contacted as to which businesses to see, when and where.
• Make no mistake. Agencies here are sales people. You will get the sales pitch!
• You only ever view businesses that business agencies have for sale. Many business owners choose to sell their businesses privately without agencies or internet advertising. It’s even the case that some of them advertise their business through local property estate agencies and you will seldom find these appearing in google or yahoo searches.

Let’s say you decide to save time, energy, probably money and ensure you find the right business and the best opportunity for you, in the quickest time possible?

Take a look at the way we at Target Mallorca work with you and on your behalf:

• Complete one form on our website or make one call to a lo-call rate number. You can be as detailed or as open as your requirements. You may know, for example that you want to buy a bar in a certain town or you may just know you want to buy a business between certain price points. It matters not as we can target our search to fit any of your requirements.
• It may even be that you have seen what you think is the ideal place on an agencies website. It makes no difference we can still work on your behalf on that business and also suggest similar from other sources. No agency will do that for you.
• We search all the business agencies, local estate agents, local papers and private listings. To ensure that we match your requirements as closely as possible.
• We check that the businesses are actually available and what, if any, is the interest in them.
• We produce a list of suitable businesses for you and make recommendations on local knowledge, business trends and success rates of similar businesses in similar loactions. So that you are armed with the right information from the outset.
• We can ask any questions on your behalf of the business agency or owner, so that you have the right answers before you plan your trip.
• When you decide to visit Mallorca, we will arrange business inspections so that they fit in with your itinerary and you make the best use of your time over here.
• We will accompany you throughout the appointments, to assist you in asking any questions you may have, in Spanish if need be and to point you in the right direction about the local area and the opportunity.
• We will be on hand to answer any questions about any business issue or to offer advice.
• If you wish, we will negotiate prices on your behalf with the agency or the owner. We can do this whether you are here in Mallorca or back home.
• There may be alternative ways to purchase the business, such as rent, traspaso etc. We will find out for you.
• We can recommend a Gestoria (Accountant) and Abogado (Lawyer) to check the legality of the business and to assist you in completing the purchase.
• We can also assist in finding a removal company and accommodation for you either to rent or to purchase when you decide to make the move to Mallorca.
• Remember you pay nothing to us for the services above.
• We don’t replace any business agents. We work with you to ensure you get the best possible advice from whichever source is available.

Resort Information -- Santa Ponsa

The very popular holiday resort of Santa Ponsa, along with its more infamous neighbours Palma Nova and Magaluf, are all part of the municipal district of Calvia on the south west coast of Majorca approximately 20km, or 12 miles west of the capital Palma.

Unlike the nearby “Brit” resorts of Palma Nova and Magaluf which are 5km away to the east, Santa Ponsa has developed a very strong Celtic theme and has become very popular with both Irish and Scottish visitors. In response to this market, a large number of both Irish and Scottish themed bars and restaurant have in recent years opened in the town.

The main beach is reasonably large, and in recent years it has been extended with imported sand to accommodate an increasing number of visitors to the resort. Even so, in high season it can still become very crowded due to its popularity with both tourists and locals alike. If you wish to escape from the crowds, there is a smaller secondary beach set in its own sheltered cove about 15 minutes walk away which can be reached from the Avda. Rei Jaume I. Both beaches have the usual facilities expected of a modern resort, along with a good variety of water sports equipment available for hire. Swimming in the bay is generally quite safe with no strong currents, and fairly shallow waters, however, care must always be exerted when the flag system is in operation.

Regular boat trips along the south west coast operate from both the main beach and marina at Santa Ponsa, and at around £10 per head represent excellent value for money. The boats are all quite modern, with both a small bar and toilet facilities onboard. On most trips the captain will usually stop for about 30 minutes giving you the chance to dive or jump off the back of the boat and cool off in the sea.

Santa Ponsa has quite a wide selection of cafes, bars and restaurants and excellent facilities for visitors on self catering arrangements. In response to the strong UK and Irish influences in the town, many supermarkets now also stock readily recognisable UK branded goods, although in many cases the prices charged may be considerably higher than those you would expect to pay at home. Although the underlying principle of consumer choice was once explained to me by a local shopkeeper as, “if you don’t like the price, you don’t have to buy”.

The resort really come alive in the early evening, but is never in the same league of its neighbours Palma Nova and Magaluf. Although, from the size of our Restaurants and Bars pages, you will quickly realise that Santa Ponsa has an abundance of bars, restaurants, and live music venues, catering for families with children.

All things considered, the town is cheerful, easy going and is essentially a family resort, although little now remains of the original village that was Santa Ponsa before the onset of mass tourism in the early 1960′s.

One of the most prestigious areas of Mallorca for owning a business is Portals Nous and in particular the harbour area of Puerto Portals. Surprisingly some of the businesses for sale in Portals Nous are currently on the market, this can be for a variety of reasons and it’s always worth finding out why.

The marina of Puerto Portals is prime location for a restaurant or bar and any that come up for sale here normally sell quickly and at the asking price due to the increased trade and prices that having the boating fraternity on your doorstep can bring.

Resort Information -- Portals Nous -- Bendinat.

For all intents and purposes Bendinat is a small residential suburb of the resort town of Portals Nous, which in turn is part of the municipal district of Calvia, on the south west coast of Majorca.

Bendinat is still relatively undiscovered by most of the major tour operators, and many visitors to the area do tend to be independent travellers who prefer to make the transfer either by taxi, or by hire car. In theory it is possible to make the journey by public transport, although I’d never relish the thought of getting on a bus with a suitcase and flight bag, and then trying to find the right change, and I seriously doubt that the very thought of using public transport would certainly not be a consideration for any of the visitors here.

The contrast between Bendinat, and its nearest neighbours, the perhaps more familiar south west resorts of Palma Nova and Magaluf, can only be described as striking. The area is aimed very strongly at professional couples and families looking for the cultural aspects of nearby Palma, as opposed to the clubs and bars of Magaluf. A major feature of Portals Nous is the Puerto Portals marina, which the local council proudly claims to be “the best in Spain”. Although, clearly an exaggeration of the truth, it certainly helps to raise the profile of the resort to have a number of very expensive yachts moored here.

As with most of the other resorts along the south coast, Bendinat is most popular with the British visitor, many of which now own property in the area, who are looking for a quiet holiday base that both offers ready access to the nearby nightlife and attractions of Palma Nova, and also the culture of the capital Palma. Bendinat is still growing in a controlled manner, and has been marketed by at least one developer as having “possibly the best address in Mallorca”, which at the very least should add another 10,000€ to the market price of any property.

In keeping with the general exclusivity of the town is the Royal Bendinat Golf course, whose honorary president is no less than His Majesty King Juan Carlos of Spain. The original course, designed by Martin Hawtree, was opened in 1986, and was then subsequently extended to 18 holes during 1996.
