Why choose a us?
Faster Sale Process
As a private investor, we can move quickly to buy your business without lengthy marketing, vetting, and listing processes that are typically required with a broker or alternative methods.
Direct Negotiation
We negotiate terms directly with you which can create more flexibility and creativity in deal structure, and shorter completion timelines. Our approach and deal structure is unique to every business to help you get the exit you want.
Lower Transaction Costs
By selling directly to a private investor, you can save on fees charged by third party brokers which are often a commission of 8–12% of the sale price.
Privacy and Confidentiality
By selling to us directly, it may reduce the number of people who know your business is for sale, helping to protect staff morale, customer relationships, and limits the possibility of the market, or your competitors becoming aware of the sale.
Tailored Fit
Ideally, we want the businesses we buy to retain the management team, reputation, and identity that has been built over the years. As strategic business buyers, we can bring industry expertise and networks to support further business growth.
Control Over the Process
We manage the sale together, decide who sees the financials, and you get to choose a buyer you like and trust, rather than relying on a broker’s pool of prospects.
The roadmap to a successful deal
1. Confidential Introductory Meeting
We hold an initial meeting to discover your exit goals, and to determine if we can help. At this meeting, we get to know you, your business, your plans post exit, and the potential future performance and profitability of the business.
2. Business Deep Dive
We do a deep dive into your business to review and assess current and past performance. We discuss any potential challenges in exiting the business, including the existing management team, market dynamics, and future growth opportunities to help us shape the optimum deal structure.
3. Deal Structuring
Our team work with you to determine the fair market value of your business and the potential deal structure based on financial performance, asset value and market outlook. A deal structure will be agreed, and Heads of Terms compiled.
4. Post-acquisition Integration
A post-acquisition plan will be compiled to ensure a smooth transition. This will include potential capital injection requirements, investment in plant or equipment, the compilation of a growth strategy, and any additional resources required to ensure the business continues to grow and be profitable.
