You only sell once.
The transaction carries years of work, the continuity of a business, the future of your people and the balance of your family’s wealth.
It should be prepared like a legacy, not a transaction.
What we cover
Depending on the mandate, we handle some or all of the following:
-
Preparation
analysis of the company, its financials and its competitive environment.
-
Valuation
review of comparable transactions and determination of a defensible range.
-
Buyer universe
identification and approach of relevant financial sponsors and strategic buyers.
-
Running the process
transaction documentation, confidentiality agreements, management of indications of interest and due diligence.
-
Negotiation
letters of intent, price structure, earn-out mechanics, scope of warranties and indemnities.
-
Post-closing
holding structure, vehicles, domiciliation and reporting obligations.
The sequence, timetable and intensity of each phase are specific to each situation and are discussed before any engagement.
A question about your situation?
The family dimension
A sale is rarely a matter of arithmetic alone.
It comes at a particular moment in the life of a family: a succession that never happened, a generation that will not take over, partners whose horizons have diverged, an owner who wants to release personal liquidity while keeping a share of the business.
These questions come before valuation. What is sold, how the price is structured, the timetable, whether a minority stake is retained, what role the owner keeps after completion — each of these is first a family decision and only then a market one.
They are where our conversations begin.
Scope of our services
Our work covers the preparation, conduct and structuring of the transaction.
The specialist firms working alongside us do so under our coordination: audit, legal, tax and property valuation. You deal with one point of contact within our group.
Who we work with
Family shareholders and founders considering the sale of all or part of their equity. Technology and industrial companies, from €5m enterprise value.
Thinking about it, but not decided?
That is often the best moment to talk. The conversation stays exploratory and needs no preparation on your side.
