Understanding the true value of a business is at the heart of all business strategy. A business appraisal is critical for each Owner to understand their business, whether a potential sale is on the horizon, or not.
Businesses that keep the future in sight are generally better prepared to take advantage of opportunities that present themselves. Our workshops ensure that you are better prepared.
There is no one answer for succession. It’s prudent to prepare for your exit by putting in place a multi-faceted succession strategy now, regardless of the stage your business is at.
For fortunate Owners their succession plan is right in front of them – the next generation in the family. How do you achieve a successful transition of ownership and knowledge to maximise success for all?
There will always be a time where an Owner needs to exit from their business. However, the circumstances of the business and any other Owners may complicate the process and affect exit options.
You’ve been approached by another party or a competitor wanting to buy your business. You may think that you now have a preferred party to sell to, but is it your best option and how do you manage confidentiality?
Management buy-ins or buy-outs are often top of mind for Owners looking to achieve a successful exit. There are numerous options on how this can be successfully done and there is complexity to manage.
Not all businesses are the same and every business sale is different. As a result, some businesses require a different approach. One of our areas of expertise is the sale of insurance businesses.
Selling businesses in certain verticals takes specialist skills. I have solid experience in selling professional consulting businesses, e.g. professional engineering and architectural firms.

There are many methods to calculate a sound value of your business.
I’ll help you realise

- What options exist to maximise the value of your business.
- How you can sell for the maximum value of your business.

Every owner will have to transition from their business – the question is how and when?
No matter where you are in the exit process, I can help you:
- Explore your options.
- Pursue an existing option.

In practice, the success of your sale depends on many factors such as how well the sale process is run, time available to you, plus the individual circumstances.
A successful sale procedure will strike the right balance in each of the three phases:
- Preparation – have the right building blocks in place
- Marketing – who to approach and how
- Execution – close the deal
I can enter the sale process and help you at any one of these phases.
