How we can help:
A decision to sell your business can be driven by many factors. In the case of owner-managed businesses, this can include a desire to retire and realise the value of your entire shareholding or a plan to sell part of the business, de-risk as a shareholder and get investment to grow the business.
In the case of an institutional investor, this could include capitalising on buoyancy in a specific market sector or simply the end of an investment holding period.
