They had a certain price point to achieve and wanted to be in place before the main season started.

We found a choice of three options for them and when they saw one they knew it was right. However there was already some interest in that bar.

We negotiated with the agency and were able to assist in completing a quick sale, which the other party was not able to achieve.

We also managed to get a reduction in the deposit as some of the fittings needed repairs and renewal.

The bar is now operating and doing well.

We wish you luck and good fortune for the coming years.

President of ABTA, Justin Fleming, said the August bank holiday is usually very busy as it marks the end of summer. He said that this year also, a large number of people are enjoying the warm summer. The summer favourites, mainland Spain and Greece will also be full of people.

Walkouts at Stansted and Gatwick on 29 August and bank holiday Monday were brought to an end after talks between Unite unions, the GMB and employers Swissport Strikes on 27 August and 1 September at Manchester had also been cancelled. Another GMB strike, however, is still due to be staged on Monday.

Airfield Services staff had rejected a 1.5 percent pay hike. They said that the amount was paltry. Gary Pearce from GMB said that they have a new improved offer after the talks at conciliation service ACAS. He said that because of this improved offer, all the strikes were suspended until they get the reaction of the staff. A spokesperson for Unite said that the industrial action has been suspended and also that after 12 hours of discussion at Acas, now they have a revised offer with revisions made and they would now survey the members.

Many prospective purchasers who are looking for a business for sale in Majorca are expected to use the holiday period as a fact finder. We at Target Mallorca normally have several would be business buyers over during this period.

The businesses association publicised its findings after interviews with around 50 of its members. It pointed out that another factor responsible for the downturn in these figures is that the all-inclusive hotel requires the clients to pay for lodging, food and drink in advance. This leaves them with little money to spend at the other restaurants of the island. It is reported that Soller is one of the worst affected regions this season.

PIMEM, the business association of Majorca said that spending lever of the customers is considerably low. Cafés, Bars and restaurants at S’Arenal, Can Pastilla and Cala Ratjada reported serious decline in the business. At Porto Cristo in Manacor district, the association has blamed the “advance” payment of the all-inclusive hotel offer for low trade conditions.

In the capital Palma, the situation is different. People come here to sight-see in spite of bad weather and hence, the tables are filled but the spokespersons of the restaurant industry say that the levels at which the customers are ready to spend have fallen by about twenty percent.

On World Day for Homeless Animals, yesterday, the secretary of Baldea (Balearic Animal Defence League), Elsa de Opazo, spoke to the media. She said that this year had been catastrophic and also that they have been receiving reports indicating that the figures would double this year. She also said that every day, litters of pups and kittens and other pets are left at such centres. She also expressed concern that many people abandon their pets since they have grown old and are now expensive to feed or because that particular breed is now out of fashion.

Conversely, she also claimed that the society is showing more concern for animal welfare because the reports show a higher numbers of citizens condemning incidences of cruelty towards animals. She said that almost every day they anonymous calls informing them about incidents of cruelty towards pets and livestock.

Anyone looking for a business for sale in Majorca, or anyone looking to live here. Please please think twice about buying a dog or cat. If you really want to then consider one from the registered homes for adoption.

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.

Now you see you have a choice – Are you going to make the right one?

The reports also showed that until date, 30 people were injured in road accidents and six people, indirectly involved in such accidents were hurt. The traffic department reports indicated that this year Majorca has the highest mortality rate when compared to all Balearic Islands -27 people died of which 10 were under 30. Also, Majorca has the highest number of people injured in accidents -21. Even last year, 46 of the 58 people who died on Balearic roads were killed in Majorca.

This year, in Majorca, seven people passed away in each of the months of March and May and three people in each of April and July. Only one person was reported dead during the first twenty five days of August.

Yesterday afternoon, on the Arenal road, a driver lost control and his vehicle overturned. Guardia Civil was called to this place. There were no major injuries.

Target Mallorca would like to remind anyone that is looking for a business for sale in Majorca that when you visit our Island please be very careful on the roads. It is very different than the UK and we would want you business search to start with good intentions not dire ones.

Cala Mondrago is not really an area where you will find business for sale, there are a couple of bars and restaurants and occasionally they do change hands but normally very quickly, its one of those cases of knowing who to talk to.

There is the possibility of creating a rural hotel or bed and breakfast type business in or around Cala Mondrago as the area itself is very beautiful and attracts many tourists during the day, arriving by car from all over the island or by the local bus and road train service from nearby Cala Dor

Resort Information -- Cala Mondrago

The secluded resort of Cala Mondrago is part of the municipal district of Santanyí, approximately 8km, or 5 miles, south of the chic resort of Cala d’Or on the south eastern coast of Majorca.

If all you’ve ever seen of Majorca is the popular resorts along the south west coast of the island, you may be somewhat amazed to discover that a resort like Cala Mondrago still exists in the 21st Century, however, if you find the thought of isolation and seclusion appealing then read on.

Cala Mondrago is one of the few coastal resorts on the island, that as yet remain undiscovered by the major tour operators.

The main feature of Cala Mondrago is without a doubt the lovely sandy beach, which is flanked by two rocky headlands. However, despite the isolation of the resort, this beach can still become quite busy during summer weekends with the influx of visitors from the local inland towns around Santanyi. It’s here that you’ll also find the only shop in the town, although even this is really limited to selling a range of beach goods and souvenirs. Beyond this, you’ll have to make the trip either north to Cala D’or, or alternatively inland to Santanyi for even the most basis holiday essentials.

Despite continued pressure and an every increasing demand for both holiday and residential accommodation, it is highly unlikely that Cala Mondrago will ever grow beyond the development that we see today. In 1992 much of the area around Cala Mondrago was recognised for its extraordinary ecological value to the island, and was declared a Natural Park by the Balearic Islands Government, thus affording it special protection from future commercial development.

The resort of Cala Mandia has a selection of bars and restaurants for sale and to rent. Business can be good in the height of summer, there are two major hotels and several smaller ones in the area, this is supplemented by an ever increasing amount of new build apartments and villas on the edge of the resort. The mix of tourists is predominantly German, although there are an increasing number of Scandinavian and British. There is very little or no winter trade to be had in Cala Mandia although one of the hotels in the area does open earlier than most.

Resort Information -- Cala Mandia

If you’ve never heard of the resort of Cala Mandia before, you can be certainly be excused, since most of the maps of the island don’t as yet recognise this as being a resort in its own right. However, if you look closely enough you may see a reference to the development of Porto Cristo Novo, some 4km to the south of Porto Cristo on the east coast of the island. If only to add further confusion, a number of the tour operators are also marketing this destination as Playa Romantica, which literally translates into English as “Romantic Beach.”

In any case, this fairly remote area of the east coast, is part of the municipal district of Manacor around 70km to the east of the capital Palma, and generally visitors should normally expect a transfer time of around 1.1/2 to 2 hours from leaving the airport grounds.

Cala Mandia, Playa Romantica, or Porto Cristo Novo, which ever way you wish to refer to it, is still a relatively new resort destination that has been specifically developed to meet the ever increasing demand for tourist accommodation on the island.

If you’ve ever visited Majorca before, you may recognise that the town of Porto Cristo is synonymous with two of the biggest tourist attractions on Majorca, namely the Caves of Drac and Caves of Hams. As a result of this close proximity, Porto Cristo can sometimes become very busy during the summer months with coaches of day visitors. To a large extend Cala Mandia escapes this attention of the general public, and the only day visitors to the town are normally those looking for a relaxing day on the beach.

All things considered, it’s a very quiet resort, perfect if you want to retreat and get away from it all, but still within easy reach of the more lively resort of Cala Millor which is only a short taxi ride away.

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.
