To Realise the Best Offer, Competition is Key

When it comes to achieving the best price for anything of value, competition is key. Why do auctions matter? Competition. Estate Agencies? Competition.

The best value arrives by finding the most fitting buyers, and having their best offers for your company arrive at the same time. We’re experts at making this happen for you.

Some are good at online, some are good at networking, some can reach international buyers and a few may identify trade buyers and their representatives.

Only our Proactive Disposal process combines the outreach to all suitable buyers: online, partner networks, advisory firms and trade buyers. Only our technology gives us the ability to reach both national and international buyers and engage them for you.

This is why, if you are looking to sell your company, you’re in the right place.

The Compounding
Effect of Finding
the Right Fit

Most companies are sold on a multiple of profitability (normally termed EBITDA), or a smaller multiple of turnover where the company has a significant amount of retained repeat business.

Regardless of what you may have heard, most offers are In the same multiple range based on profitability level, sector and consistency of performance.

It is only when a buyer sees value in the potential synergies of a deal that they will make any significant changes to their offer. Even so, it is the competition, the fear of losing a great acquisition, that drives the offer up.

So if you want to realise the best value, you need to find the best fitting buyers. Which is where we can help.

THE SAME BUYER WILL MAKE THE SAME OFFER

We’re not going to pull the wool over your eyes when it comes to valuation, as our approach is designed to give you transparency and visibility. What we can say is that valuation is predictable and certainly not as elastic as some make out, for a couple of good reasons.

Firstly, buyers all have their own parameters within which they value. There is some flexibility in there, but generally they will not offer more because of the negotiator or advisor, unless there is both good & and strong competition.

Secondly, if valuations are too high, they will put off some of the best buyers, who may not even enter into the process. Even if a buyer does offer too much, their financial backers will pull out or try to renegotiate even after an offer has been agreed.

Unless...

The only two reasons the same buyer will increase their offer is either that there is competition so that they know that the company seller has alternatives. The way to achieve this is to optimise reach.

And, buyers will increase their offer if they can also see synergies that add value to the future merged company. This is achieved by demonstrating suitability and fit. We’re experts In both of these fields.
