For owners selling their business, it's wise to remember the buyer will be less emotional regarding the sale than the you. Another point worth remembering is that buyers won't pay for potential. Put another way, buyers don't want the seller to profit from the buyers future hard work and investment.
Typical private company transactions differ from general business brokerage transactions in that they tend to be larger, more complex and the acquirers are more sophisticated. These opportunities, when handled properly, are rarely advertised on the internet and require a strategic marketing approach.
Matching buyers and sellers in these types of transaction requires exhaustive research and planning to identify the appropriate prospects, followed by a methodical, process-driven approach to achieve a successful outcome.
Our M&A professionals follow the rigorous process defined below which has proven successful for our many clients throughout the years.
