Selling your business

Clients usually involve us before a sale becomes inevitable — when interest exists, but conviction, timing or objectives are still being tested.

Questions worth settling early

• What must a sale achieve beyond price?
• What needs to be protected or resolved across control, timing, people and legacy?
• How will a process affect management, the wider business and the people around it?
• What does life and ownership look like after the transaction?

How we help

We help owners and boards frame the real decision first: whether to sell, why now, what an acceptable outcome would look like, and what route is most likely to stand up. Where a sale is the right answer, we support positioning and preparation for market, buyer engagement, negotiation, due diligence and completion.

What serious buyers will test

• Whether owners are aligned on price, timing and post-deal priorities
• Whether management is credible, prepared and likely to support a transaction
• Whether the process will be proportionate, realistic and professionally run

What this often connects to

• Valuation and independent perspective — where value expectations need testing early
• Succession and ownership transition — where exit timing is bound up with transition or legacy
• Management buyout / buy-in — where continuity of ownership and leadership matters as much as price
