Companies are sold for a variety of reasons – the owners may wish to retire, shareholders may want to realize on their investment or a large organization may be seeking to sell-off a non-core business. Whatever the reason, we can help you maximize the selling price while minimizing the distraction and time required from management during the selling process.

Our first step in the selling process is conducting a thorough analysis of your business, its history, the industry, outlook and the reasons for the sale. We will then analyze the financial results in conjunction with comparables of other transactions to provide you with a valuation range.

Once you have taken the decision to proceed, Cafa will prepare a confidential information memorandum describing the business and the opportunities for a third party. We also work with you to prepare a marketing plan which identifies a shortlist of ideal purchasers.

Cafa approaches candidates on a discreet basis to determine the level of interest and conducts preliminary discussions with a view to maximizing the selling price. Once an understanding in principle has been reached with a buyer, Cafa can assist in negotiating the terms and conditions and seek to minimize the disruption to management and operations. A key ingredient of successful transactions is maintaining momentum. We keep the whole process moving forward, resolving potential obstacles and bringing it to a successful closing.
