How to get a top price for your business

We all read about companies being bought and sold for mind-boggling sums and entrepreneurs making hundreds of millions from a sale, but what should you do when you receive an offer for your company or are looking to buy another business?

One of the first things to think about is hiring an advisor. Your accountant may be able to help or you may want to speak to an advisor or investment bank. You may well know your business sector like the back of your hand, but have you, your financial director or anyone of your staff ever undertaken this type of transaction before?

When it comes to acquisitions at this level you need someone with relevant experience, who deals with this area on a daily basis.

Choosing an advisor

Speak to your business contacts first. Your existing lawyer, accountant or auditor might have experience of this kind of transaction, or they may be able to recommend someone to you. You can also find transactions comparable to the one you are contemplating and try to find out who advised on these.

Business Deals

Lastly, you need to do your research, gain market insight, speak to your advisor and above all en sure you know what price to pay or accept by looking in Mid Market Exchange magazine.

All the latest company news and mid-market businesses for sale can be found in your copy of Mid Market Exchange, featuring over 600 companies for sale – with opportunities exclusive to the magazine from the UK as well as US, Canada, Australia, France and more.
