EXPLORE ALL THE OPTIONS TO MAXIMISE YOUR VALUE

You may have in mind your preferred exit, but it is easy to get too focused on one option at the expense of all the others. Or it could be that you have learned new ways to sell your business. Whatever the case, you need to use every lever available to provide the best exit.

What we know from experience are these three things:

  1. The more competition for your business, the greater the value you receive
  2. Most buyers end up choosing a different option than the one they expected
  3. The same buyer will pay more if they know you have other options

So, working with us, you will pursue as many business sale routes as you want to and help you compare and contrast the benefits of each option before making an informed decision.

WHAT BUSINESS DISPOSAL OPTIONS DO WE COVER FOR YOU?

We can help you with these options:

  • Trade Sale: to help you sell your company to an industry buyer who understands your company and can help it grow and mature
  • Investors or Private Equity: to find a business buyer who will retain the existing management team and service offering, but improve performance and market reach, providing the equity to scale up
  • Management Buy-In (MBI): to approach high-quality professionals with appropriate experience and backing to make the change from employee to owner by acquiring your business
  • Management Buy-Out (MBO): to help you explore with your management team the opportunity for one or more of them to acquire the shares of the business, immediately, or over time
  • Employee Ownership Trust (EOT): to set in place a change of majority ownership to the employees so that they can earn a share of the profits of the business in the future

Each of these options have pros and cons which we can explore with you. If you sign up to our Proactive Disposal all of these options are covered in one service. Contact us to find out more.

 

YOU CONTROL THE EXIT/OFFER EQUATION

Regarding your exit, it is unlikely that the best offer will also give you the cleanest exit. What often happens is that the best offer comes with more constraint over your exit from the company, or perhaps greater risk or higher deferred payments.

So, when you compare all the offers, we can help you review your options, understand the potential outcomes and work out where you are prepared to compromise, and where not. Thereby helping you negotiate and realise the best result.
