If you are the business, there is no "business" to sell.
The only value in the client list is to a competitor -- and even that is questionable. Once you're gone from the area, your current customers won't be incapable of finding someone else to perform the service you performed, will they?
If your customers are particularly loyal to you and a large percentage of them will use the person/company you give as "your replacement" your client list might have some value, but I still think it will be very difficult for you to find someone willing to pay you for it -- unless you have an established reputation in your field and the person/company buying your client list knows that.
