The Airports of Cyprus

The Mediterranean island of Cyprus is one of the most popular holiday resorts for travellers from the UK. Choosing the right Cypriot airport to travel to can make quite a difference to your holiday.

Many travellers to Cyprus are unaware of the size of the island. With more than 3,500 square miles of land, this is the third largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. Cyprus attracts more than 2 million visitors every year. By doing a bit of research before you travel, you can make the most of your visit.

There are two international airports available, Larnaca International Airport and Paphos International Airport. Don\’t make the mistake of believing that you\’ll be able to fly direct to Nicosia. Although Nicosia Airport is still listed on many maps, it was closed in 1974 and is not in use for travellers from overseas as a result.

Paphos International Airport is located on the western side of the island and is mainly used to serve the resort of Paphos, which attracts some 1.5 million visitors each year. Paphos is a pretty resort, located around a harbour. Although the town has expanded greatly in recent years, you can still get a taste of what Cypriot life is like.

Many visitors choose to hire a car, allowing them to visit more remote, rural areas. In rural areas it\’s clear that a traditional way of life is still maintained by many local people.

Larnaca International Airport is used to serve the eastern resorts on the island, most notably Ayia Napa.

Ayia Napa has achieved fame thanks to its lively nightlife. The dance music scene makes the town popular with younger tourists from all over Europe and many suggest that it now helps Cyprus to rival the Spanish island of Ibiza. Make sure that you fly in to the right Cypriot airport - you can save yourself a lot of time traveling round this relatively large island.

Exclusive Agency - Best for the Seller and the Broker

One of the most common misconceptions among business sellers is the notion that hiring multiple business brokers or intermediaries on a nonexclusive basis will increase the likelihood of sale for your business. Although in theory engaging multiple intermediaries and having non-exclusive agency means you get the benefit of multiple brokers working on your behalf for the cost of only one (the one who is successful), the theory is flawed and the strategy rarely works to your benefit.

Even the hardest working and most dedicated brokers have a fixed amount of time and resources to invest in selling your business. Since most intermediaries are paid primarily by commission the intermediary takes the risk for selling your business. Therefore, it can be argued that without the security of an exclusive agency agreement, the intermediary\’s risk exceeds their potential return.

Example: Let\’s assume you offer Intermediary A nonexclusive agency to sell your business but, have also effectively negotiated nonexclusive agency agreements with Intermediaries B, C and D. Now, all four intermediaries: A, B, C and D are all assuming 100% of the risk on the same transaction. They are each in essence agreeing to invest their very valuable time, effort and resources into selling the same business. Their maximum potential success rate is 25% with a minimum 75% failure rate. At best, one broker will succeed and 3 will fail.

Now, you may respond with the following, “As long as one of them is successful, I don\’t care about the other three.” Or, “That\’s the business they\’re in and they knew that was the risk when they took the job.” Although this is true, the trouble lies in the probability that a broker working with a non-exclusive agreement will actually complete the sale of your business.

Brokers and intermediaries are by nature risk players but, they are not fools. They understand that a nonexclusive agency agreement has compounded risk. Therefore, most intermediaries will hedge the risk of non-excusive agreements by shifting a majority of their resources (time, man power, marketing dollars, etc.) to projects with exclusive agency agreements. Why shouldn\’t they? The risk is substantially lower and the reward is often equal or greater. It\’s simply a good business decision.

Just as a buyer will consider the risk of your business versus the potential return on their investment so will your broker or agent. If the intermediary\’s investment exceeds the potential for a paycheck, as is typically the case with nonexclusive agency, they will focus their efforts elsewhere. You must be willing to share the risk of selling your business with your representatives. They will take the risk of earning a paycheck but you need to allow them a chance to do so.
