Disposal: Is it time to move on?

 

You’re ready to stand aside and realise the value of your business. Selling the business you've spent years building up may be the most important financial deal you'll ever make.

You’ve got one chance to get it right and to enjoy the future you’ve been dreaming of. A well thought-out exit strategy can help you maximise the value you get from your business, successfully market your business to potential buyers or investors, and ensure you end your involvement with as little disruption to the business – and trauma to you - as possible.

There are many ways to dispose of your business and the preparation needs to begin as soon as possible. Do you just want to sell up and walk away, or retain some form of involvement? Are other shareholders involved? Do you want to sell to management or pass on to family? Every scenario is different.
