M&A ADVISOR

---

Having sold my own business in Asia gave me the unique insight and opportunity to gain a first-hand experience how the entire process of selling a business works.  

Since my exit, I was able to work on several more M&A projects, further completing my know-how in this area.
  When you made up your mind and selling your business becomes your goal, an exciting, interesting and intense journey begins!
 


As you most likely haven’t sold a business before, it usually is helpful to have someone on your side who has the first-hand experience and can act as a good bounce board to discuss ideas, strategy, valuations, negotiating tactics, etc.  

I can help you with several important tasks:

• collect and structure all relevant information, 
• assisting you with the business valuation, 
• discuss term sheets, SPA, and earn-out terms, 
• identify and contact possible buyers,
• hold your hand throughout the due diligence process,
• find suitable law firms and/or tax advisors,
• properly invest your newly-gained cash.    

In my experience it is of great advantage to get following information and documents ready before approaching potential buyers:

• a short introductory email (max. 2-4 sentences, for easy sharing) 
• an investment opportunity teaser (PDF, one or max two pages)
• a full-blown investment opportunity deck (PDF, 10-25 pages)

See how the potential selling of your business is teased as an 'opportunity'?  Particularly of importance is a page within the full-blown investment deck, explaining the concrete benefits of acquiring your business from the perspective of the potential buyer (needs to be customised each time).
