Making the Final Break

Everything is in place for you to make the final break with your company; you have completed all the preparations. The final piece of the jigsaw is to find a buyer, but where will you find one that you can be sure will be genuine?

We will help you find a suitable buyer and introduce you to advisers who can facilitate an efficient and trouble-free transfer. We have access to a network of leading professionals experienced in the art of corporate disposal, who have helped us successfully facilitate the disposal of businesses ranging in value from hundreds of thousands to tens of millions of pounds.

The process isn’t an easy or familiar one for most business owner-managers. The steps that you take are determined by your ultimate goal, from a quiet retirement to reinvestment in another project. It’s important to give it plenty of time and find the right approach for you.

At cmc we can help in a number of ways, including introducing you to one of our wide network of specialist business brokers. With our support, you can be sure that everyone involved will be happy with the progress and conclusion of the sale. Let us help you ensure you don’t put a foot wrong.

Making the Final Exits

Here are examples of three clients we have helped recently.

cmc had been planning an exit strategy with a Thames Valley electronics company for 3 years. Though an MBO had been mooted, the Chairman used his network of contacts to raise outside interest. cmc introduced a team of accountants, lawyers and financial advisers and the company sold for just under £4m.
In December 2005, because cmc had specific knowledge of the likely purchasers, we were engaged to sell this wood veneers specialist company together with its holding company. We already knew the accountants, and introduced a suitable legal team. In a process taking about 19 months from start to finish, we found a buyer in September 2006 and completed the sale in August 2007 for around £3.2m.
cmc had been working for a Publishing client for 4 years, preparing the company for an exit. The client knew of a very specialist publishing sector broker who had excellent contacts with the major players. In this case, the client already had a professional team known to cmc. The deal was concluded for over £20m.
