Through our scale and industry teams, we know buyers and investors internationally and work with our colleagues globally to access them in their own languages. As a full-service firm, we are active in over 120 countries and can advise across all of the commercial and technical areas that could impact your deal. Ultimately, we are here to guide you through.

What information do you need to sell your business?

Selling your business can be a time consuming and intensive process, and there is a lot to consider. While you know your business inside and out, the information you’ll need for a sale process is different from the management information you use to run it day-to-day.

Our sell-side specialists understand how corporate acquirers and investors will look at your business and how to prepare information efficiently, in a way that resonates with them. With so much value at stake, it’s important to invest time in the preparation, away from the scrutiny of a buyer, to ensure your business is ready. Our readiness review programme helps shareholders and management teams to assess the value of their business and ways to enhance it in the run up to a transaction. More information on our readiness programme is included here.

If you’re considering a sale now or in the future, please get in touch.
