Sell your life's work without selling in a hurry.
We handle the sale, purchase or merger of your company, from the first figure to closing. The market sees the business, not your name. And we only get paid when the deal closes.
The first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Selling a company is not placing an advert.
Those who try alone usually run into the same four walls. And each one costs money on the final price.
The figure is in your head, not in the accounts
Owners ask for what they feel the company is worth. The buyer pays what can be justified. It is in that gap that deals die, as early as the second meeting.
Everyone finds out
One advert, one conversation in the wrong place, and the team, the customers and the competition know before there is a buyer. The company loses value while it is for sale.
One interested party turns up. Just one.
With no alternative on the table, the buyer dictates the price and the timing. And knows it perfectly well.
Due diligence catches you unprepared
Unsigned contracts, untidy accounts, everything depending on the owner. Every surprise the buyer finds turns into a discount.
A company is sold once. A discount accepted in a hurry is never won back.
Book a first conversationWhat gets done, on your side of the table.
A process run to sell at the right value, to the right buyer, without the market knowing who is selling.
A valuation that holds up
A value range built from the accounts, the assets, the contracts and what the market has paid for similar companies.
Blind summary
Sector, size and figures, with no name or address. This is what goes to the market, and nothing more.
Hand-picked buyers
Companies in the sector that grow by acquisition, investors, people who want to buy themselves a job. We choose who we show it to.
Confidentiality before the name
Anyone who wants to see the rest signs a confidentiality agreement first. Only then do they learn which company it is.
Due diligence prepared
What a buyer will ask for, put in order before they ask, so that nothing turns into a last-minute discount.
Negotiation through to closing
Offers compared side by side, terms negotiated and the timetable kept until signing.
Four steps, and at each one you know what is going on.
The first one costs nothing. The rest only happen if they make sense for you.
- Step
We sit down
A private conversation. We listen to the business, the figure you have in mind and the timing that suits you. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
- Step
We value
Accounts for recent years, assets, contracts and market comparables. The result is a range that holds up, not a magic number.
- Step
We search
A blind summary goes to investors and buyers in Europe, Brazil and Asia. The name only appears once confidentiality has been signed.
- Step
We close
Offers on the table, due diligence supported and negotiation through to closing. Only then do we get paid.
We are the right choice if…
It makes sense to talk if:
- You want to sell in the next one to two years and have not started preparing.
- You have no successor in the family or the team, and you want the company to carry on.
- A partner wants out and nobody knows what the shares are worth.
- You want to buy a company to grow faster than you would on your own.
We are not for you if:
- You need to sell this week, at any price.
- You want to put the company's name out in the open to see what turns up.
- You are only looking for a listing on a business-for-sale portal.
What people ask us before going ahead.
Do I pay anything upfront?
Will my employees find out the company is for sale?
How long does it take to sell a company?
How do you sell a company?
How much is my company worth?
Who are the buyers?
What if I change my mind halfway through?
Do you also help with buying a company?
Start with a private conversation.
Tell us the sector, how long the company has been running and what you want for yourself after the sale. We reply with the next steps and what is still needed to reach a value range.
- First conversation and initial valuation free of charge
- We only get paid when the deal closes
- No endless exclusivity and no penalties
