How It Works
Prepare the company for sale
Support in building the business plan, get the company ready for a sale and conclude on a potential valuation range for the transaction.
Buyer identification
Based on our knowledge of the company, we will prepare a concise list of potential purchasers which will include purchasers who will view the company as a good strategic fit to their existing portfolios.
Circulate the documents
After the potential purchaser list is approved, we will approach the potential purchaser on a “no name” basis to assess the degree of interest and negotiate confidentiality agreements on your behalf. Once the confidentiality agreements are signed, the IP will be shared and we will assist you in evaluating non-binding offers received.
Buyer due diligence
After shortlisting and identifying the appropriate buyers, we will facilitate the financial and legal due diligence undertaken by the potential purchasers by setting-up a data room, assisting with interactions with the potential purchasers which includes negotiation tactics, overall deal pricing and various options for structuring the transaction. In addition, we will read and provide comments on third party due diligence reports and evaluate binding offers.
SPA/APA Signing
During this phase we will assist you in ranking binding offers in order of preference and progress to close which will include supporting you on sale agreement and other post-closing matters.
