How to sell your business

We guide you through every step to market your business, attend meetings, ensure clarity and complete the sale.

From Your Enquiry

To sell your business, we’ll set up a free call with one of our brokers to discuss your goals. If you’re interested, we’ll match you with the best broker for your business and send a non-disclosure agreement. Your broker will learn about your business through the calls. If you’re happy to proceed, we’ll send a proposal pack and engagement letter to sign. Let us know if you have any questions about our fees and terms.

Initial Meetings

We generate interest by creating a one-page teaser and a detailed business profile. Our marketing approach yields numerous inquiries, which we carefully vet. After approval, we share the business profile, and your dedicated broker handles queries. Serious buyers meet with your broker to discuss financing and the proposed deal structure, whether an earn-out or a straight sale.

Shortlist Of Offers

We will assess available options from interested parties and negotiate offer structures to maximise the value of your business. Ideally, we will have 3-5 parties submitting offers, creating competition. Businesses are valued differently by different companies, but we’ll work closely with you to find the best fit.

Formal Offers

We build relationships with potential buyers to ensure a good fit for everyone involved. After marketing the business, we ask for formal offers to help you, the seller, get the best possible deal. Any offers we receive are backed by fund confirmation and deferred element confirmation.

Due Diligence

Once we’ve received formal offers and a deal is agreed upon. We’re now entering due diligence reviewing financials, property, contracts, assets, and insurance matters. The process can be lengthy, so please be prepared to provide the requested information. Work with your business broker to consider potential questions. Due diligence is essential to ensure a smooth transition. It allows you to move forward to exit your business with peace of mind. Once complete, the deal can progress towards completion.

Completion

We’ll finalise the sales agreement, which will contain all the sale specifics. It’s crucial to communicate with everyone involved to ensure that the final sales agreement is acceptable and that your future responsibilities are clear. We want you to be 100% happy that your legacy will be well cared for.

After the sale, the company will come under the buyer’s control. We’ll transfer registration details, change insurance policies and contracts, and inform all relevant statutory bodies, including the land registry and business rates department.
