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 what you want for it. You may have also gotten an opinion from your accountant, lawyer or best friend about what your business is worth, however, only potential buyers in the marketplace can decide what the value of your business is. The way to get you the best price is to get you as many qualified potential buyers as possible to enable multiple bids and competition for your business.
"DO I REALLY WANT TO SELL MY BUSINESS?"
If you're serious and have a solid reason (or reasons) 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'll make sure that we will evaluate your financial information to provide you with a valuation expectation and make sure that we are on the same page with this.
"WHO ARE THE BUYERS?"
The buyer may be a private equity company or another company looking to expand through acquisition. The buyer might also be an individual buyer. We will market to a variety of different types of buyers and try to find the most qualified buyers to buy a particular business. Buyers buy businesses for many of the same reasons that sellers sell businesses. Here are just a few of the reasons that buyers buy businesses:
