Business Sale Execution

What is Business Sale Execution?

Business Sale Execution is the process of selling a business for the best possible price and terms, by communicating its potential professionally and by generating competition for it.

Who is it for?

Owners and managers selling a business with profits of over £500k in any sector.

How long does it take to sell a business?

A confidential, competitive M&A auction process typically takes four to six months from the appointment of M&A advisors to an agreement on terms. Completion might take a further few weeks.

If I'm selling a business why should I retain a specialist M&A advisor, and why Shield?

M&A advisors Shield specialise in business sale execution and business sale preparation, having distilled the secrets of success from extensive sell-side experience at leading international investment banks. You will be treated as a valued client, not a target for sales of other financial services. We'll give you senior attention and old-fashioned independent advice, untainted by any conflicts of interest, such as attempts to finance selected buyers at the same time. And you'll get an M&A advisory team who understand the process and psychology of divestiture work, not fresh from an IPO or a bond issue.

Company sales are time-consuming, complex affairs with plenty of pitfalls, where good business sale preparation and a competitive auction process are the keys to success. So it helps to have an experienced guide to the terrain - someone who's been over the course many times before and can get the business sale process underway quickly and confidentially.

There's a great deal to do:

And when it comes to negotiations, a good M&A advisor is worth his weight in gold:
