Selling Your Business
We adopt a three-stage approach to helping you realise the value of your business.
Firstly, we’ll work with you to ensure the market price is reasonable and achievable. We’ll need an idea of your turnover, gross and net profits, asset value, any property value associated with the sale, etc. We have a good handle of what businesses are achieving in the marketplace and we’ll work with you to ensure the offer price is not too high so as to scare off potential buyers, but not so low that we have buyers beating down your door.
Secondly, we’ll find a buyer. There are buyers out there for all types of business at every price level. Our job is to find them, qualify them, and help them through the purchase process.
Thirdly, we need to see the sale through to completion and we work hard to ensure your buyer does not fall by the wayside. The due diligence process can be exhausting, detailed and painstaking. Your buyers will want to ensure there are no skeletons lurking in your cupboards and will usually have lawyers and accountants working on their behalf. We’ll be working hard to keep the process on track and minimise the impact on you. After all, you’ll still be running your empire whilst we are working in the background to help you achieve the sale.
Finally, we offer the reassurance that we’ve been in your shoes! We’ve bought, managed and sold businesses so we are well-placed to help both your buyer and you through the journey.
