The process is straightforward and starts with us understanding the value of your business. We then prepare marketing materials to provide to our network of qualified buyers and investors. Once we have identified a potential buyer or investor, we move on to final stages, which are conducting any remaining due diligence and then closing the deal. At Dealy.co.uk, we guide you through each step, ensuring confidentiality and helping you to maximise your business value.
The timeline varies depending on factors such as business size, industry, and market conditions. Our experienced team works efficiently to streamline the process while ensuring you receive the best possible value.
A full exit involves selling 100% of your business, providing complete liquidity and a clean break. A part sale involves selling a portion of your business, allowing you to retain some ownership, reduce personal risk, and potentially benefit from future growth with the support of new investors or partners.
Business valuation typically uses methods such as multiple of earnings (EBITDA), discounted cash flow, or asset-based approaches. Industry-specific multiples are often applied to your profit figures. Our valuation process considers financial performance, growth potential, market conditions, and unique business strengths. To receive an industry-specific valuation, you can go through either our Full Exit or Part Sale forms.
Confidentiality is paramount in our process. We use non-disclosure agreements and anonymous business profiles in the early stages. Information is only shared with serious, qualified buyers after thorough vetting. We work with you to determine the appropriate timing for informing employees and customers.
To maximise value, focus on improving financial performance, documenting processes, reducing owner dependency, diversifying your customer base, securing key employees, resolving legal issues, and maintaining or upgrading assets. Our advisors can provide specific recommendations tailored to your specific company in order to help you maximise your value.
