Looking to Cash In?
Want to Sell But Don't Know Where to Start or How Much Your Business is Worth?
Let Us Do The Hard Work For You.
Business Sale
An owner may decide to sell their business in good times or tough times. There is no clear formula. It may be that you are looking to retire and cash in on all the hard work or conversely a business sale could occur because it has been identified that the company is entering into financial difficulties and therefore selling a business at this stage could see you getting the best value. Timing is of paramount importance because if left too long then it may not achieve the value a business owner desires.
As with selling anything, it is not an overnight process and there is a lot to consider. It is very similar to selling a property and it is a well known fact that selling a property is not exactly a stroll in the park.
We are able to offer a No Sale, No Fee structure which basically means that we will only charge our agreed commission rate once the sale of the business completes therefore making this process risk free.
Finding the right buyer at the right price on the right terms is only a small part of the job. After that, you have all the legal side, due diligence, closing the sale, transition and many moving parts in-between.
We can assist with the entire selling process from start to finish but to show the complexity involved we have summarised the key steps below:
Step 1
In-Depth Business Analysis
Analyse your business, finances, markets and trends to present your company in the most attractive way to prospective buyers to maximise value
Step 2
Structure The Sale

Step 3
Confidential Advertising Of Sale To Buyers

Step 4
Coordinating Interest
Sorting the wheat from the chaff and releasing limited information to serious buyers once a Non Disclosure Agreement has been signed
Step 5
Creating Competition

Step 6
