SELLING A BUSINESS

Achieve maximum value for your company

Limited Private Auctions

A limited private auction is a competitive bidding process, through which multiple suitors evaluate the business and submit their proposal for the acquisition. Running a limited private auction allows the marketplace the opportunity to tell the Company what it’s worth today.

Strategic

Companies operating in same industry with potential synergies to drive valuation

Typically, a buy and build, longer-term hold

Financial

Private Equity Groups & Family Offices

Off-Market Transactions

If the auction process is concerning, an off-market transaction might be preferable for the entrepreneur. In this type of transaction, we engage the most likely subset of potential buyers (typically strategic) for efficient one-on-one discussions.

Whether a limited private auction (“a process”) or an “off the market” discussion, the potential sale of your business is a very personal and important first decision for the business owner. Options other than an outright sale of the business include:

  • Dividend recap
  • Shareholder buyout
  • Management buyout

 

  • ESOP
  • Minority deal
  • Generational recap
