How much does a professional stocktake cost in the UK?
Professional stocktake fees depend on the premises and the job — not a published price list. This page explains what drives a quote, without invented ranges.
We do not publish a fixed price table
Stocktakes vary by size of site, how stock is held, whether barcode scanning or a manual audit fits, and whether the count is for a business transfer, year-end accounts, or a periodic check. Publishing invented “from £X” figures would mislead buyers and sellers.
The Stocktake: Competitive low charges, no hidden extras, same-day reports. Quotes can save up to 25% against typical market charges. Ask for a no-obligation quote for your premises.
What usually affects the quote
The job purpose
- Business-transfer counts timed around a handover
- Year-end or periodic counts for accounts or control
- How detailed the written summary needs to be on the day
The premises and method
- Shop floor, warehouse racking, or a mixed site
- Barcode scanning, manual audit, or a mix
- Access, product files, and how movements are handled during the visit
What you should get for the fee
- An independent on-site count — not a figure produced only by the seller’s payroll.
- You will be given a detailed summary of cost and retail value of the stock on the day.
- A method that fits how the site is coded and run.
- We come to your premises. Trading since 2013.
How to get an accurate quote
Helpful details when you enquire:
- Town or postcode and type of premises (retail, warehouse, forecourt shop/stockroom, other)
- Approximate size or number of lines / locations if you know them
- Preferred date and whether it is a transfer, year-end, or periodic count
- Whether products are barcode-coded and a product file is available
