The first step for most shareholders contemplating a sale is the 'decision' itself. This usually involves many other parties, including family members and personal financial planning. The most challenging question for most shareholders is, should I sell my business, or carry on working and take a known, regular salary plus dividends or gamble on a high multiple and sell.

Our Philosophy
Our approach is built on the basis that the entire team is focused on 'selling' our clients companies and not simply putting them through a process. We achieve this in many ways, such as;
"WHAT IS MY BUSINESS WORTH?"
You may have an idea of what you think your business is worth, or the number you would like to achieve.
You may also have received an opinion on value from your accountant, lawyer or best friend. Only potential buyers in the marketplace can tell you what they see and how much they are willing to pay. Achieving a high value and acceptable deal structure is skilfully negotiated. Bringing multiple acquires into a carefully managed, competitive environment is how we achieve the best offer and deal structure. "DO I REALLY WANT TO SELL MY BUSINESS?"
If you are serious and have a solid reason as to why you want to sell your business, it will most likely happen.
You can increase your chances of selling your business if you can answer YES to the second part of this question: "Do you have reasonable expectations?" A YES answer to these two questions means you are serious about selling your business. Before we market your business, we look at your financial information, past and present plus future forecasts, and provide you with a current market valuation, this can then be compared to your expectations. "WHO ARE THE BUYERS?"
In our experience, most buyers are trade acquirers, in the same sector as the sellers company, looking to expand through acquisition.
We will market to a variety of different types of buyers to find the best qualified and matched to the business we are selling. Buyers buy businesses for many of the same reasons that sellers sell businesses. Here are just a couple of the reasons that buyers buy businesses:
