MAXIMISING VALUE
Identifying value drivers in your business
From the initial meeting and the early stages of the sale process, we identify what will drive the value of your business. Our expansive buyer reach and rigorous search process will ensure that we maximise the sourcing of prospects and most appropriate acquirers.
Some of the key ‘value drivers’ that affect the end transaction value paid for your business include:
- the recent, current and future financial performance of the company
- the company’s assets and current balance sheet
- sustainability of the company’s earnings
- the quality and loyalty of your customers
- current contracts, work in progress and pipeline income
- the skills and experience of the company’s employees
- the opportunities that exist for future growth
- ease of integration and synergies with the purchaser’s business
Getting the most value possible out of your business:
- Marketing literature
- Synergistic buyers
- Competitive bidding process
- Experienced negotiators
Our experienced and dedicated staff produce the ‘best in class’ marketing materials to display your company in the best light. Each document is carefully structured to provide acquirers with the information required to further their interest.
We maximise value by targeting synergistic sectors, as a buyer is more likely to pay the premium price if they believe that the business offers a strategic fit and they can clearly recognise the company’s core strengths.
We will seek to reaffirm the value drivers of your company and relate them specifically to the buyer and their acquisition objectives. This will allow us to conduct a competitive bidding process amongst the interested parties.
Either through our panel of legal service providers or by working with your own legal advisors, we will oversee and manage an effective close to the sale process to prevent price chipping.
