Corporate Sale
Selling a business is a uniquely significant undertaking especially for family-run companies with a high level of personal involvement. Every company sale needs to be prepared carefully. The analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the company in question (SWOT analysis) as well as assessment of potential buyers’ acquisition interest are the key issues for the company valuation and determination of the feasibility of the company sale.
Our experienced professionals are on hand to assist you from the initial assessment of the company value and the feasibility of the transaction through to the signing of the sale contract and company exit. Ongoing advisory will be guaranteed throughout the whole corporate sale transaction.
Integrity and discretion enjoy top priority in everything we do
... after all selling a business is a matter of trust. Our philosophy is therefore to engage only experienced professionals guiding the entire sale process from the initial contact through to the transaction closing. Strategy and design of the selling process depend inter alia on the size and market position of the company, the number of potential buyers as well as the seller’s need for confidentiality. We differentiate hereto between:
- exclusive negotiation with only one optimal buyer
- targeted negotiations with a limited number of potential buyers
- controlled auction, in which numerous potential buyers are contacted, and the selling process follows a strict time schedule
