Sell the company

Sell the company at the price it deserves

You have decided to sell, or you want to know what the company is worth before you decide. We check the valuation drivers buyers use, raise the multiple where it is low, package the company and take it to the right buyers.
Does this sound like you

What founders tell us before a sale

  • The multiple you were offered is below what you expected, and nobody explained the gap.
  • One client brings more than 40% of revenue, and buyers price that risk in.
  • Key clients, sales and delivery decisions run through you; the company is hard to hand over.
  • Management reporting and the P&L need weeks of cleanup before anyone can read them.
  • Margins sit below the benchmark buyers use, and the forecast is a spreadsheet of hopes.
  • The valuation suits you, and now you need a buyer, a teaser, a CIM and someone to run the process.
Root causes

What lowers the multiple

  • Positioning: A company without a clear niche is priced as capacity, and capacity sells at the low end of the range.
  • Operating maturity: Buyers pay for a system that runs without the founder: delivery governance, account management, documented processes.
  • Financial transparency: Clean, forecastable numbers shorten due diligence and remove the discount for uncertainty.
  • Portfolio risk: Contracts, retention and client concentration decide how much of the price is paid at closing and how much is deferred.
What we do

Three steps from a number to a closed deal

  1. 1
    Valuation check

    We score the drivers of your multiple: niche, client portfolio, founder dependency, margins, financial transparency and the risks a buyer will find in due diligence.

  2. 2
    Raise the multiple

    Where the valuation suits you, we go to market. Where it does not, we work on the drivers with the lowest score first: securing the portfolio, reducing concentration, sharpening the niche, cleaning the P&L.

  3. 3
    Run the deal

    Teaser and CIM, a shortlist of buyers, warm introductions and negotiation support; the closing runs with our M&A partners. The seller pays on success.

FAQ

Questions founders ask first

A valuation check takes one call and a week of data. In our projects, raising the multiple has taken three to twelve months depending on which drivers score low, and a deal from teaser to closing six to nine months.
