Thinking of selling or stepping back?
The best exit is a business that already runs without you
Buyers, successors and lenders all want the same thing: clean numbers, a management team that runs the business and a structure that makes sense. We get you there, then introduce the specialists for the deal itself.
Sound familiar?
- You cannot take two weeks off without the phone ringing
- Nobody else in the business can read the accounts
- The group or ownership structure has grown up by accident
- You have had an approach and do not know what the business is worth
What we would do
The plan, in order
- 01
Clean the numbers
Three years of tidy management accounts, normalised profit and a clear view of what drives the value.
- 02
Build the management layer
Reporting, roles and processes so the business runs on a rhythm rather than on you.
- 03
Structure
Group reorganisations, holding companies and ownership changes planned ahead of a sale or succession.
- 04
The right specialists
For valuations, deal advice, legal work and personal financial planning we introduce independent, appropriately authorised specialists and coordinate the work.
