Sell-Side Advisory

Selling your business is more than a tour of the office, a handshake and handing over a check. It can be complicated and often messy. It may take up to six months of data gathering, negotiations, analysis and more before the deal is closed.

You must not only choose a buyer (and there are many different types), but also ensure you have the proper valuation of your organization in place for sale. Then, there are a number of steps that follow—from the nondisclosure agreement to indication of interest, letter of intent and purchase agreement.

The moral: the earlier you can prepare, the better. Planning for sale requires tools, experience and leadership.
