In the realm of business sales, each sales process traverses common stages irrespective of broker reputation. Below delineates the merger and acquisition process, encompassing steps from initiation to completion.
At Stage 1: Grasp your business’s essence, valuation, and selling potential.
During Stage 2: Introduce buyers, reach a consensus on valuation, establish a data room, and gear up for due diligence.
In Stage 3: Confirm deal terms, and structure, and initiate due diligence proceedings.
In the subsequent Stage 4: Navigate due diligence completion, formalize a share purchase agreement, and finalize the deal.
Lastly, in Stage 5: Offer support through the completion of balance sheet requirements.
Often, brokers levy charges ranging from £5k to £25k for Stage 1, coupled with a recurring monthly retainer for document evaluation. Their involvement might wane after the culmination of Stage 4, leaving you without adequate support.
Typically, brokers demand £5k to £10k+ during Stage 2, supplemented by a retainer. However, by the time Stage 3 arrives, they might grapple with gauging your preparedness, valuation expectations, and buyer interest.
