The Importance of Getting it Right

For the majority of business owners, shareholders etc… the opportunity to exit a business whether via a trade sale, a sale to a strategic buyer or indeed a sale to a financial investor is often a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Planning for a successful exit often requires an unswerving focus on developing;

  • The organisation’s strategic plan and ability to scale-up

  • The organisation’s overall financial performance

  • The strength of the organisation’s cashflow position

  • The organisation’s market position, USP’s, and intellectual property

  • The organisation’s contracted and/or recurring revenues

  • The organisation’s Net Promoter Score

  • The organisation’s reliance on key customers, suppliers and staff

  • The organisation’s reduced reliance on the founder/shareholders

Whilst the challenges of building a highly successful business are considerable, preparing a business for sale in a way that maximises its true value requires a different set of skills and a mindset that is different again from the earlier approaches in the business’ previous growth phases.

Through many years of experience we know that successful deals are a blend of;

  • The price achieved
  • The structure of the consideration
  • The buyer’s future plans to scale the business further 
  • The timescales involved

For many business owners looking to sell –  the absence of any sort of exit plan is a major obstacle and hence it’s not surprising that less than 20% of businesses actually sell.
