Documens Boss

Just One Chance!

No company sets out to do a bad deal yet we all know the facts; failures are rampant, and unfortunately commonplace for both buyers and sellers.

Good deals are a combination of strategy, opportunity and execution. It is most important, if you are looking to divest your company that you get it right first time as you only do it the once.

Some common problems:

• No strategic M&A plan or a poor quality strategic exit plan
• Protecting confidentiality to ensure that competitors, clients and employees do no get wind of the exit plan
• Starting the exit process too late. To get it right, you will need time and considerable planning.
• Maintaining focus on main business so performance does not suffer. Letting the business slide while you deal with potential buyers is a common mistake and can have disastrous consequences
• Wrong price wrong timing. This could be too high or not realising the true equity value for your business
• How do you avoid the timewasters and tyre kickers from the serious buyers
• Inability to find the right buyers
• Negotiations break down after time, money and effort have been invested in a sales process in which the end result is precisely, nothing.
• Poor presentation of the true assets of the business
• DIY selling of the business is rarely successful often failing due to a combination of the above problems
