Proactive Disposal:
The Best Way To Sell Your Business
Preparing Your Business Disposal
We work closely with you to build out a profile for your company that presents you and your company most compellingly. We bring together the numbers that make up your current performance as well as projecting the future. We work with you to build the stories on which your business was founded, and also prepare you for the journey ahead.
We have access to six different business and market data sources covering a wide range of countries and territories. With this we can build out a list of the most likely acquirers of your company, local and international to compliment our network reach.
We prepare your online dashboard to track all of this activity, so you can see all the companies we have reached for you, how they have progressed and where the interest is.
Choosing Your Exit Options
We will have reviewed all your business information and understand exactly what sets your company apart. We will have identified your strengths and weaknesses, and exactly what your buyers will be interested in. We will also explore any options for internal acquisition, from MBO to EOT, as well as seeking external buyers.
We will work with you to build a customised exit plan to suit your business and your future ambitions. We will have your anonymised proposal ready for distribution so that we can ignite interest from our network of buyers and partners, as well as promote very carefully and confidentially online.
You will be presented with a thorough map of the disposal process, which types of disposal you are considering, and which channels, buyers and regions will be most interested in your enterprise.
Synchronising the Outreach
Once we jointly agree we’re ready to market, we market your business through the full range of channels at our disposal. We ensure that interest peaks at the same time: different exit types, buyers and channels. We qualify all interest, ensuring that the buyers we take forward are credible, have a good strategy, fit with your exit plans and have realistic expectations and the ability to make good offers.
We hold off early interest to give space for late entrants, ensuring that all serious buyers are in play at the same time. Helping to not only deliver the best offer for you, but to leave no stone unturned in helping you realise the best outcome.
Negotiating Offers, Realising Value
As buyers come forward, we ensure that all offers are reviewed and considered carefully. We will help you understand the different types of deal structures so that you can accurately compare and contrast what is on the table for you as clearly as possible.
Early offers rarely represent the best value for you. Sometimes the largest offer is the most risky or has more strings attached. Often the first offer is just a guide and there’s more scope to negotiate upwards.
We’re here to get you the best overall deal to help you realise the best return for your hard work in building your business.
MAINTAINING MOMENTUM
Whether you are patient and want to realise the best value, or you have a target disposal date you’d like us to meet, we’re here to ensure you have momentum through the process.
We recognise that the more we drive and manage the process, the more likely the right buyer will make you an offer you’re willing to accept.
Our expected timing should get you offers within six months, and completion within ten months.
