Many entrepreneurs are tempted to sell their own business. Employment of an adviser, however, significantly shortens the sales process and will enable a higher price to be obtained. The key benefits that an adviser brings to the transaction process are:
- Better perception of the project on the part of investors (employing an adviser indicates determination and increases competition among investors)
- High process dynamics
- Tight Project Management allowing precise determination of goals and deadlines to achieve
- Limitation of time that entrepreneurs devote to the implementation of the planned transaction
Many customers ask us why the sales process is taking so long. The company is not a “shelf” product, it has its historical conditions and the buyer must be convinced that he acquires a good asset at a reasonable price. The advisor’s role is to properly set up the transaction process so that conditions may be met to finalize it in the form of a purchase and sale agreement. It requires proper preparation and time …
An example of the company’s sales process is as follows:
- 3 weeks: Preparation of the traser and list of addressee of the offer
- 4 weeks: Collection of declarations of interest and signed confidentiality agreements, preparation of an investment procedure
- 3-4 weeks: Preparation of an investor information package
- 3 weeks: Collection of initial, non-binding offers in the form of LOI
- 1 week: Selection of an investor who will be granted exclusivity for negotiations
- 2 weeks: negotiating and signing term-sheet
- 3-4 weeks: due diligence, determination of the terms of the investment agreement, signing of the contract
