IG Private Company Advisory (PCA) acts as intermediary between sellers and buyers of businesses. Our primary roles in the sale process include:
1. Valuation
We use our expertise to provide a realistic and market-oriented valuation of your business. We utilize various methodologies, such as discounted cash flow (DCF) or multiples of comparable companies, depending on the nature of your business and market trends.
2. Preparing the business for sale
PCA can help you prepare your business for sale. This includes preparing a comprehensive selling memorandum highlighting your business's strengths, financial performance, and growth potential.
3. Marketing the business
We use our extensive network to identify potential buyers for your business and market it discreetly to those potential buyers, ensuring confidentiality is maintained.
4. Negotiating the deal
PCA plays a vital role in the negotiation process. We use our expertise to negotiate the best possible terms for you, including the sale price and other transaction terms.
5. Closing the deal
We will coordinate with lawyers, accountants, and other professionals to ensure a smooth closing process. We also help manage due diligence, coordinate the preparation of legal documents, and ensure the agreed-upon terms are correctly implemented.
Why Choose PCA?
Working with PCA is crucial for a successful sale. Here are some factors to consider:
1. Experience and track record
PCA team members have experience in this industry and a track record of successful transactions like yours.
2. Network
PCA has a strong network of potential buyers, which can increase the chances of finding the right buyer for your business.
3. Personal chemistry
You'll be working closely with PCA throughout the sale process, so choosing someone you feel comfortable with and who understands your goals and concerns is essential.
4. Fee structure
Understand the fee structure upfront. PCA usually charges a retainer and success fees, the latter being a percentage of the transaction value. Ensure that the fee structure aligns with your interests.
Engaging PCA can significantly enhance the chances of a successful sale of your business. Our expertise and network can help you navigate the complex sale process, achieve a fair price, and ensuring a smooth transition.
