Business sale and acquisition advisory services for UK clients by Susannah Adams.
Susannah works with business owners to appraise the readiness of their business to go through the sale process, and to identify areas which may need more work in order to optimise the outcome.
The fundamental questions are:
Can the business operate without its owners?
Is it financially healthy?
What are its historic, current and anticipated profit trends?
What is its cash, debt and working capital profile?
Is it operating in an effective and compliant way from regulatory perspective?
Is it structured in a way to maximise post-tax proceeds?
Monnow Corporate Consultancy uses a range of methods to identify potential buyers for a business, in addition to drawing on nearly 30 years' experience and extensive contact base.
Susannah's approach combines the following:
Previous transaction experience within the sector
Desktop research from corporate transaction databases
communicating with my contact network
Lateral thinking
Typically Susannah will not market a business with a price tag, but will only enter into the marketing process having agreed with you the likely expectation from a value perspective.
Ultimately a business is worth what someone is prepared to pay for it, and no two buyer circumstances are likely to be the same.
Susannah prefers a targeted approach to a smaller number of well-researched parties than a blanket mail out, as it is advisable to keep the process confidential.
In addition, commercially sensitive information is only disseminated at an appropriate stage in the transaction, and always subject to non-disclosure terms.
Monnow Corporate Consultancy can provide an end-to-end service or tailor a support package to your specific needs.
