Exiting your business; identifying buyers and optimising the sale process

Too often we meet business owners who want to sell their business in the short term, perhaps because:

1. they have received an approach out of the blue from someone wanting to acquire their business, or

2. maybe a family member has become unwell and the owner wants to reprioritise how they spend their time.

Sadly, the reality is that a lot of businesses are not ready for a sale process and therefore it is not always possible to achieve a successful sale at a valuation the owners are happy with. Find out what steps you can take and what considerations there are to optimising the sale of your business from our resident expert, Holly Stiles, Financial Advisory Partner, Grant Thornton.
