Business exit strategies

Helping you to prepare an exit strategy

What do you want to achieve? What are the restrictions? What is the best timing? These are the sorts of questions that need to be answered when preparing an exit strategy. We help you through these issues in preparing a business exit strategy.

Preparing a valuation of the business based on its peers

We can access databases of recent acquisitions and use those along with a review of your financial results to provide an approximate realistic valuation for your business.

Implementing the exit strategy as required eg. managing the disposal process

Once the exit strategy is complete and you decide to proceed, our Principals execute the business exit process as agreed, working closely with you and your management team. By understanding your business and your finance they can provide counterparties with information that they'll need. They also manage advisers involved in the process eg. lawyers, to help ensure a smooth process.

Assisting, through a partner firm, in developing a succession plan and helping to retain and develop key staff prior to the exit

As you approach an exit we can, through a partner firm, assist you in motivating, retaining and developing your key staff. This is often a potential issue in any transaction, especially where loss of key staff would have a dramatic effect on the value of the company to a purchaser.
