Assisting in divestments

When you decide to sell your company to another party, you will face many important decisions. First of all, to whom do you want to sell?

  • You can sell the company to a successor from within your family. But is there a suitable successor? And how do you make sure the succession will not cause any disturbance or problems in your family?
  • You can sell your company to another company that has a strategic interest. This will usually ensure a good price. But how do you find the perfect strategic partner?
  • It is possible that your management team is interested to acquire the company. They know the company from inside out, which is off course good for the continuity of the company. A management buy-out sometimes requires you to facilitate funding of the transaction.
  • Finally, if you are unable to find an appropriate successor in your family or management team, you can explore the opportunity to sell to an enterprising manager from outside your company. This is often referred to as a Management Buy-In.
