First meeting

We always begin with an informal conversation where we discuss alternative options and what we can do for you and your company. Based on the information gathered, we will come up with a timeline and a proposal. This serves as the basis for our continued cooperation. 

Beginning a selling process

• We meet with you to gather information on your company and the markets in which you operate.
• We define advantages that make your company attractive to buyers.
• We prepare consolidated accounts and other formalities that need to be in place.

Identifying potential buyers

We survey the market and identify potential buyers in consultation with you. Here we use our extensive network and proceed very discreetly, making sure confidentiality is safeguarded. We engage in dialogue and arrange pre-meetings with the most relevant buyers.

• We identify and highlight the factors that can contribute to increase the value of the company in the future.
• Relevant marketing material is prepared and collected.

Marketing up to indicative bids

• Indicative bids are received and evaluated
• In consultation with you, we select possible buyers for the next phase of the process.
• We take care of all formalities, including legal (share purchase agreement), due diligence, process letter etc.

Marketing up to final bid

• Due diligence reports and process letters are sent out for the next phase.
• Buyers get access to the due diligence data room, and questions and answers are coordinated via this virtual data room.
  
• Meetings are arranged with potential buyers
• When final bids are received, these are assessed before clarifying meetings are held.

Negotiations, closing and implementation
