Preparation of Business for Sale

Preparation of Business for Sale

Many owners are not aware that a number of administrative, financial reporting and tax aspects of their business should be in order and up-to-date for them to optimise the sales value and the timeous conclusion of a sale transaction. This is a critical aspect of the process - it ensures the business and owner are ready for sale, and this in turn makes the business more attractive to buyers. We are able to advise and assist owners in this regard.

Valuations

Valuations

We provide a professional valuation service, which we offer at no cost to the owner provided we have in return a reasonable opportunity to market the business for sale on an exclusive basis. Alternatively, we also offer the valuation service in return for an agreed fee.

Information Memorandum

Information Memorandum

This is the key document that prospective buyers are presented with. It provides an overview of the business without disclosing any sensitive information and is prepared by us together with the owner thereby ensuring that there is no breach of confidentiality.

Marketing

Marketing

We use our website, media advertising, networks and direct approaches to market businesses we are mandated to sell. A specific marketing plan is prepared for each seller, which plan is agreed to with the seller before marketing commences.

Marketing

Financial Formatting

We work with the seller and the seller’s accountants/financial advisors to ensure that financial information is prepared in such a way that a prospective purchaser is provided with as much information as possible about the business without disclosing information that will be shared only at/towards the finalisation of a transaction.

Transaction negotiation

Transaction negotiation

This is a key aspect of our service, one where we are able to add value to the process of concluding a successful transaction.


Due diligence

Due Diligence

Once we have facilitated a successful sales transaction we will manage the due diligence process (ie we do not perform the actual due diligence) at no extra cost to the seller.

Transaction process management and completion

Transaction Process Management and Completion

We will ensure that the transaction process is managed and monitored to conclusion, working with all parties (buyers, sellers, attorneys and accountants) to ensure the smooth transition of ownership.



2. Mandate from a purchaser to find a business

We will accept a specific mandate from a prospective buyer of a business to secure a particular business, or to search for businesses on their behalf.



3. Valuations

Separate from selling of buying businesses we offer a professional valuation service in return for an agreed fee.



4. Due diligence

Where we are not a party to the transaction we are able to carry out a due diligence on behalf of the purchaser, for an agreed fee.
