Selling Your
Business With Ease
Having put years of work and energy into building your business, you deserve to see a great outcome at exit.
The fact is that 80% of businesses who enter a sale process, fail to sell (Forbes).
Those who do sell often don’t achieve their desired sale outcome and are led to believe the sale process will be difficult and draining.
This just isn’t good enough.
More than 80% of businesses who use Bean Partners get an offer at least equal to, more often above, their expectations.
Our 4-Step Plan to a Successful Business Sale
Together we will clarify your exit vision and deal terms, and define a sale strategy that meets your ambitions, protects your legacy and keeps you in control.
Step 1
Strategise
Invest in a Valuation Strategy to maximise your valuation.
Don’t believe benchmark multiples are the limit. We'll analyse your Company to understand core assets and capabilities and overlay this with our data, intelligence and experience of the buyer ecosystem.
Step 2
Maximise
Drive a higher valuation through the right strategic actions.
Where appropriate, we'll guide you through your Valuation Programme to maximise your valuation and outcome.
Step 3
Negotiate
Meet aligned buyers and negotiate multiple offers.
Your Buyer Universe, underpinned by data and intelligence, will ensure you are introduced to aligned buyers who meet your expectations and ideals. We'll always work to achieve multiple offers to keep you in the driving seat when it comes to negotiating your outcome.
Step 4
Prepare
Personally prepare for post-sale.
You'll feel prepared for your journey post-sale; the most overlooked part of the sale process when the dotted line is signed. Coaching conversations will enable you to clarify what’s next for you and your legacy, and ensure you're prepared for the next phase of your business journey.
Steve came to Bean Partners looking to sell his business for a fair value to the right buyer who would take care of his team. He had been told his business could be sold at a multiple between a typical range of 8-12x EBITDA, Bean Partners sold it for a multiple of 21x EBITDA.
“Despite the words of warnings from friends, CEO colleagues and other advisors, about the perils and stresses of the process - those stresses never materialised. I honestly believe that this is due to the way Bean integrated themselves into the process, proactively navigating me and taking real ownership of all key aspects.”
