Disposal Strategy

"Deciding to sell a business or company, often one built up over many years with "blood, sweat and tears" and likely long and sleepless nights, is no simple matter, nor is it a decision taken lightly. It is also a decision that needs to be taken some considerable time in advance of when to actually put the business up for sale."

"Having taken the decision to sell, many issues are likely to have to be examined and acted upon if one are intent on making the company attractive to buyers and, once having attracted a buyer, give him that feeling that all is well."

At PKF we have undertaken the formulation of disposal strategies on many occasions and well in advance of the planned disposal date. Strategies have encompassed reorganising the corporate structure into something more transparent, reviewing internal systems and procedures, preparing information memoranda and financial projections, assessing realistic sale values and identifying and assisting in the negotiations with potential buyers.
