ATTRACTING THE BEST BUYERS FOR YOUR COMPANY

We have the resources and experience required to find the ideal buyer for your company, knowing exactly how to attract acquirers and investors on an international scale. Over years of hard work in becoming a market leader, we have established a vast network of interested parties and an extensive buyer reach. We know what questions to ask, streamlining the entire process.

Our network enables us to liaise directly with potential buyers for your company in a variety of international territories and to approach parties across multiple industries to ensure you have a range of options to choose from.

That means we can create positive competition between parties looking to buy your business, ensuring you receive offers which maximise your company’s value.

WHERE WE LOOK TO FIND YOUR COMPANY’S IDEAL BUYER:

TRADE

PRIVATE EQUITY

A private equity transaction can enable significant realisation of value whilst positioning the company alongside a seasoned investment partner. We have a rich history of achieving investments from PE firms which have far exceeded our clients’ expectations. This is achieved through working closely with our global network of over 5,000 private equity houses.

Trade buyers are generally those from equivalent or complementary sectors who see the synergistic value presented by an opportunity. We have access to over 310 million companies around the world who complete vertical, horizontal and synergistic acquisitions, as well as data on nearly two million transactions in the global M&A market.

ADDITIONAL ROUTES

Our approach incorporates thinking outside the box and exploring alternative routes such as family offices, IPOs, MBI/MBOs, Employee Ownership Trusts (EOTs) and other investment vehicles.

We possess one of the most comprehensive buyer databases in the industry and where relevant, we can target institutional investors such as pension funds, investment banks and mutual funds.

We also have considerable experience of EOTs, which offer significant tax breaks for the selling shareholder.
