Exit & Mergers

Exit sounds so final, and it needn’t be, it should be the beginning. If you have started, grown and nurtured your business for 20 years plus, then planning your retirement and sale of your business should be the most important decision and action you take.

You will only sell your business once so it’s vital you have advice and support from people who sell businesses all the time, have real experience in maximising value and then marketing the company to the right purchasers.

Ideally, you should plan your exit some 12-18 months prior to the date you want to sell your business. This allows enough time for grooming the company to maximise value and preparing for the sale and marketing of the business. For a confidential discussion concerning this most important move, give us a call. After an initial meeting we will be able to give you an idea of value and what is needed and how much lead time we need to maximise value.

We work with one of the oldest Corporate Finance Houses in the City to sell companies. We bring in their expertise, negotiation skills and contacts in order to maximise value.

We are NOT a transfer agent (which is a bit like an estate agent for businesses); you are not a number and will be treated with both personal and professional service.

Mergers are a great business model. In these challenging times, just staying in business can be a challenge. If working alone is a real trial, and your ambition and the time is not right for exit, then a merger can be a fantastic opportunity to strengthen your business (and your new partners) whilst competitors wither on the vine.

You can save on overheads, double sales, and strengthen your management team, and maybe not even have to find a penny to fund the deal.

We have many merger deals where one plus one has made three and more. Call us if this strategy appeals to you, whether or not you have identified your future partner or not.
