Sell a Company
We operate on a success-only basis, so if we are unsuccessful in providing companies that meet your criteria then there is no fee, regardless of how many times you meet them pre-signing of Heads of Terms. We help you to find the right buyer by identifying the main key features of your business and the main drivers behind your decision to sell. We can also give you an early indication of exit price and key terms.
There are a number of stages to consider when selling a company, our breakdown of the selling process essentially highlights the things to watch out for. The sale process usually follows these steps:
Step 1 :
Initial Conversation
1
At first contact, we will have an in-depth discussion with you to identify what you are looking for in a potential acquirer and find out more about the shape and size of your business.
