Company Sale Service

"Our approach and methodology focuses on achieving maximum sale value for clients."

Selling your company is the most important event of your business life. You will usually only sell your company once and it is therefore vital that you capitalise on the opportunity.

As Business Brokers and Business Transfer Agents, Andon Frères provide a comprehensive, confidential divestment service, managing the sale process from concept through to completion, leaving you free to concentrate on running your company. Our approach and methodology focuses on achieving maximum sale value for clients and we have an outstanding track record of achieving successful company sales, as can be seen from some Examples of Our Work.

Our service briefly includes:

• Consideration of shareholder options and aspirations, tax planning issues etc
• Advice on exit strategy and pre-sale planning
• Advice on company valuation
• Preparation of an information memorandum describing the company, its financial performance and future prospects
• Proactive, confidential marketing – we go looking for buyers
• Enquiry management, issue of confidentiality documentation
• Meetings and negotiations with interested parties, consideration of offers, advice on deal structuring, preparation of Heads of Agreement
• Liaison with other professional advisers and coordination of the transaction through to successful completion.

Essential to the sale process is the proactive, but confidential marketing of a company in order to generate maximum interest. We achieve this through:

• Dedicated sector research and approaches to potential trade purchasers
• Our database of acquisitive companies and individuals (our work with buyers has enabled us to build up a substantial "captive audience" of potential purchasers)
• Our extensive network of contacts with accountants, solicitors, corporate finance professionals, business brokers, banks and private equity firms, all acting for acquisitive clients
• Listings on our website and on various companies for sale web portals
• Where appropriate, discreet, anonymous advertising in the national press and specialist trade publications

Our fee structure is competitive, agreed in advance of our accepting an appointment and is success based, calculated as a percentage of the sale consideration.

If you are thinking of selling your company, either now or in the future, we offer a package of free, no obligation assistance:

• A confidential chat to talk things through
• A free Indicative Valuation
• A free half-day, one-to-one meeting to discuss all aspects of the sale process
