Sell your business
This isn’t just business; it’s personal
You’ve spent years of your life getting your IT, technology, or telecoms business to this point. Your success to date is a direct reflection of all the hard work you’ve put into it. And now, it’s time to make your exit.
But selling your business isn’t something you do every day. It’s a high-stakes process that requires a very specific skill set. As much as you want the best possible deal for you, you also want the greatest outcome for your business.
So, where do you start?
Get the right people
in your corner
When you’re ready to sell your business, it is a time-consuming process that can prove costly if tackled incorrectly. It’s estimated that it can take away four months from the day-to-day running of your business. Engaging an advisor allows you to remain fully focused on keeping your business at its best. You also benefit from the expertise and experience needed to provide a true appraisal of your worth and ensure the greatest possible outcome.
At Venture Corporate Finance, selling IT, tech and telecoms businesses is what we do best. And our extensive insight into this sector – along with our decades of combined business sales experience – means we’re your hands-on partner who can streamline and simplify the entire process.
By getting you in front of the right buyers with the strongest proposition, we significantly increase the attractiveness of your business, while also removing up to 80% of the workload off your shoulders.
Investigate
Once you supply us with some key details about your business, we get to work creating your free, tailor-made transaction readiness report.
This allows us to fully understand you, provide a realistic valuation range, and identify areas where you could strengthen your prospect of a successful sale.
This includes:
- Summary business review
- Drivers of value
- Financial summary
- Market valuation
- Shareholders expected returns
- Strategic options and planning
Sale Preperation
Building on step one, we develop your unique proposition into transaction documentation and get to work liaising with potential buyers.
We create a list of buyers, initial contact with your chosen targets, and weekly review meetings to ensure we’re still on track.
This includes:
- Transaction documentation
- Buyer approach report
- Buyer introductory meetings
- Follow up Q&A with buyers
- Due diligence preparation
- Valuation negotiations
Negotiate
Next, we work closely with you to agree and negotiate the Heads of Terms document – a crucial milestone in the sales process.
At this point, we ensure you’re fully satisfied with the terms of the offer and help you to introduce taxation and legal advisors into the process.
This includes:
- Heads of Terms negotiations
- Roadmap for completion
- All parties introduction
- Review meetings with lawyers and shareholders
- Highlighting outstanding issues
On-going project management
We continue to be by your side in these critical final stages of the sale, overcoming the many obstacles thrown your way.
From due diligence questions to uploading information requests to a secure data room, we handle it all.
This includes:
- Full project management
- Support with due diligence
- Review of net working capital and Equity Bride calculations
- Weekly principals meetings
- Support with Share Purchase Agreement documentation
Investigate
We believe that no transaction is complete until you have all your proceeds. So if you have any outstanding issues post-sale, know that we’ll still be there to support you beyond that completion signing day.
