Begin with the outcome you want

A full exit, partial sale, succession and a transition with continuing owner involvement can lead to very different transactions. 37D begins with the owner’s objectives, timing and the business’s ability to operate through a change in ownership.

We can discuss commercial preparation, financial analysis, a non-identifying business profile and the information prospective buyers will need. Confidentiality is planned before names, customer details or sensitive records are circulated.

A structured route from preparation to negotiation

An agreed engagement may include market analysis, preparation of a confidential information summary, identification and screening of prospective buyers, initial discussions and evaluation of letters of intent. The scope should define responsibility for each step.

Offers should be compared on more than headline price. Payment timing, earn-outs, retained liabilities, financing conditions, working-capital adjustments and transition commitments can materially affect what an owner receives and must do.

Keep diligence and transition organized

We can coordinate commercial information requests and work alongside the owner’s legal and accounting team through negotiation and closing preparation. A successful transition also needs a plan for employees, customers, suppliers and management responsibilities.

Tell us the sector, location, approximate size, ownership objectives and desired timing. Transaction execution, required professional appointments and any jurisdiction-specific authorizations are confirmed before work proceeds.

Planning your Selling a Business — Owner & Succession Advisory enquiry

Consider the operating value behind the transaction

A business opportunity includes more than assets or a proposed purchase price. Customers, contracts, staff knowledge, working-capital needs and supplier dependencies can all affect the operating case. Start with the business model, what is included in the proposal and the reason for the transaction.

A structured review can move from a non-confidential introduction to an agreed information exchange and a more detailed assessment. Commercial, financial and professional reviews should be defined for the transaction. Integration and continuity also matter: the people, systems and customer commitments need a workable plan if the proposal proceeds.

Shape the conversation around your priorities

The areas identified for this offering include the following. Tell us which matter most to you, what you already have in place and where the current approach falls short. This helps the team assess fit and agree a focused scope.
