After spending time understanding your business and requirements, we'll review and agree your objectives together to determine the best strategy for achieving your goals. Any pre-existing thoughts and plans you have will be appraised. Information to hand will be assessed for presentation to prospective parties. You may have a variety of  strategies available to you. We'll assess each one with you and make a recommendation. 

We will work with you to create a structure that realises the most value. We'll do this by analysing your current and historical financial information with a view to establishing the core profitability of the business for presentation to potential acquirers. We'll work closely with you to create key documents that represent key attractions of the business to the target audience. And from our knowledge and yours, we'll work to compile a list of potential acquirers focussing on both trade and financial buyers.

To reach a successful completion, you're going to need to know a lot of people. There will be professional work to do such as tax and legal diligence. There may be funding or risk-sharing requirements such as finding and equity partner. And of course, you're going to need to find someone to buy your business. All of this requires and deep and high-quality network of contacts, which is exactly what Branta brings.

The process of executing a transaction can often take longer than you think since it's a complicated process. You're going to need to have to manage bidders and their expectations and questions, you will have to select a preferred biddder and maintain their offer, you may have a period of due diligence to go through, and of course you've got the legal and tax processes to go through. All this can sound daunting when you'll be expecting to continue running the business. We'll be on-hand at all times to help you through this period and make sure it goes as smoothly as possible so you maintain the value you're aiming for.
