Legal pre-due diligence (the legal review that precedes the actual due diligence by the buyer) is an integral part of the preparation for the sale of a company. We recommend clients conduct this legal due diligence before a buyer steps in. Don't see it as a necessary evil, but as a great opportunity to uncover hidden issues.
Buyers often seek more than just financial gain. Your sales pitch should reflect the values your company can bring, whether it's market access, unique know-how or an experienced team.
One recommended strategy is to create a "long list" - a list of potential buyers who are interested in your type of business. This list can include companies in your industry, as well as financial and strategic investors.
We have a lot of experience in finding buyers. Let our partners at Tack Room Capital handle the transaction.
Don't let the buyer shake you! They will try to lower the price, but with well-prepared answers and documentation, your position will be much stronger (we’re happy to help).
Then comes the grand finale—the signing of contracts. Make sure to confirm the financial offer and other conditions, such as the retention period of the original team and the preservation of company culture.
Selling a company is not an easy thing to do, but with proper preparation and the right people by your hand, you can manage it. Focus on what makes your company strong and have a clear plan and vision. We are experienced in complex company sales, and we will guide you through all the steps without stress.
