Selling a business
Selling a business can be an extremely difficult process, as there are typically lots of intangible items for which it is extremely difficult to value. Realistically the true value of your business is the price that someone is prepared to pay for it.
In these tough economic times, unfortunately, this will not always be as much as you would like, for a number of reasons:
- Lack of funding available to complete acquisitions
- Depressed markets
- Unsure prospects
This list can be extended.
An important part of a successful sale of your business will be to make sure that you have a realistic valuation. Now, there are lots of different ways of valuing a business, and a wide range of factors will influence the value, including the sector that your businesses operates in, profitability, and assets that the business owns.
Sell-my-company.co.uk specialise in assisting business owners with the sale of their business, and we have a database of active buyers and venture capital counterparties that are actively seeking new opportunities.
The first step in the process is to contact us using our enquiry form indicated on the left, then a member of our team will be in touch and we will initiate discussions.
We operate on a consultative basis, and our business model is as follows:
- We produce a professional memorandum describing the key characteristics of the vendor business.
- We introduce the concept of the vendors business to venture capital organisations and other business owners that are seeking acquisitions.
- We maintain confidentiality with our database of potential acquires, with non-disclosure agreements signed in all instances.
- We ensure that we are involved in negotiations where required to ensure a smooth sale.
- We receive our fees from the businesses or business owners that purchase businesses, meaning that we do not earn any fees from the business being sold (vendor).
- Therefore if you are selling a company, you will not pay any fees to us.
We work closely with key advisors including, bankers, accountants, solicitors and tax specialists to ensure that the sale is completed quickly and efficiently.
