Achieving maximum sale value

Here’s a few considerations to help you achieve the best outcome when exiting. 

Be clear about why you are planning to sell and consider alternative exit options such as trade or private equity buyers, selling a minority stake, a management buy-out or buy-in, or an Employee Ownership Trust.

Proper preparation will ensure you present your business in the best possible light. Take a critical look at the business to highlight strengths and identify any issues or weaknesses that could put off a buyer.
