 We assist entrepreneurs and
investors to realize exits. By examining your company and the objectives
of its management and shareholders we can advise you as to the practical
possibilities of realizing full value with minimal disruption. If you
decide to proceed, we will use our knowledge of the market and our
specialist research skills to define our sales proposition and advise
on actions to maximize the value of the business.
We will utilize our proprietary databases to draw up a list of strategic
buyers that fulfill your requirements. Once the preferred partners
have been selected, we will establish contact with appropriate companies
at the highest level and when qualified, make the introduction. Our
team will create a market to establish the premium valuation, manage
the negotiation process and complete the transaction smoothly.
The process itself consists of seven main steps:
|
| 1. |
Preparation of Information
Memorandum |
| |
We work with you to prepare a confidential
business review for presentation to potential buyers or merger partners. |
| 2. |
Identification of Potential Partners |
| |
Using our knowledge of the market and our
proprietary databases, a short-list of suitable partners is drawn up
and discussed prior to profiles being sent to those having a likely
interest. |
| 3. |
Confidentiality |
| |
Safeguarding the confidentiality of the
process is a high priority. Potential acquirers are initially approached
with anonymous, summary information only. If serious interest is expressed,
a Non-Disclosure Agreement must be executed before the potential acquirer
learns the identity of the company for sale and receives any further
confidential information. |
| 4. |
Arranging Introductions |
| |
We make introductions to a suitable number
of companies and enter into detailed discussions with one or more interested
parties. |
| 5. |
Managing Negotiations |
| |
We advise on the merits of various proposals
and provide continuing assistance on the optimum structure of the agreement. |
| 6. |
Co-ordination of Information Requests |
| |
We coordinate the assembly of the due diligence
information, both to speed up the final phases of the transaction and
to eliminate any problems in advance. |
| 7. |
Management of the Contract Process |
| |
We work closely with your legal advisors
to formulate the relevant Purchase and Sale agreement and conclude
a satisfactory transaction. |
