PREPARING TO EXECUTE THE TRANSACTION
A future-proof management team and board structure
Potential buyers will want you to demonstrate that your management team and board understand the business and have the skills and capability to drive it forward. This may also be an important consideration for you if you are going to be partially re-investing in the business alongside a private equity buyer.
Take the right exit strategy for you
You may have kept your exit route options open to this point. There comes a time, however, when you need to choose one and start cultivating interest from potential buyers who will give you the exit outcome you want.
That’s why appointing experienced advisers is one of the most important decisions you will make.
Ensuring a smooth transaction
Value can be lost through poor planning and inadequate preparation. The right exit adviser will ensure that you and your business are prepared so that you are always on the front foot. Having experienced transaction advisers on your side when it comes to the detail of negotiations is key to protecting the value of your business.
