The sale of a business is likely to be the biggest and most complex transaction
of your life. This is why a SPS board advisor can help. Time spent growing the
business before exit and identifying the likely requirements of acquirers is invaluable.
In most cases it leads to both an increase in sale value and a more efficient
sale, positively impacting the funds available to you in later life.
Expertise and experience on your side
SPS board advisors have extensive experience and success in building businesses
for sale. Working closely with you, they ascertain your personal goals and requirements and develop exit
options that suit you. Assessing the risks and opportunities facing your business
they develop a growth and exit plan with a timetable for you to follow. If required
they provide practical assistance in implementing the growth and exit plan.
Who will you sell to - and why?
As part of the growth and exit plan your SPS board advisor will assess the types
of acquirers who may be interested in your business. They will determine their
acquisition needs, asking the question: What do they already have, what do they
need and what profile do you need to be attractive to them? They also have extensive
contacts and access to potential purchasers.
Making the sale transaction successful
Importantly, your board advisor will guide you to consider the best sort of business
sale contract for you. Finally, they will work with you in preparing and managing
the due diligence and any transitions after the sale is completed.
