Selling a company - selling a business with CourCarree

Selling a company

Selling a business is time consuming and diverts valuable management attention away from running business. Our job is to take the heat away off you.

COUR CARRÉE increases the capacity of the top management without compromising the existing.

To give a maximum chance of success of selling a business there are several distinct stages to follow while maximising value and minimising tax obligations and legal risks.

  1- Determining the “fair market value” (valuation) of the business.
  2- Signature of an agreement with COUR CARRÉE.
  3- Deciding on the best marketing strategy.
  4- Creation of the Confidential Business Review.
  5- Searching for appropriate buyer databases.
  6- Contacting Buyers to financially qualify them and have them sign Confidentiality/Non Disclosure Agreements        (CA’s and NDA'S).
  7- Sending CBR to potential buyers. Organizing a data room.
  8- Coordinating “principal to principal” meetings.
  9- Providing timely turnarounds on additional information requests.
10- Interfacing with the buyer(s)’ “team”.
11- If the case rises organizing temporary management.
12- COUR CARRÉE and Principal decide on deadline for offers.
13- Providing Buyers with guidance in drafting Letters of Intent.
14- COUR CARRÉE facilitates the buyer’s Due Diligence process.
15- COUR CARRÉE coordinates outside legal council preparation of legal documents.
16- COUR CARRÉE coordinates all Parties keyed to a mutually agreeable Date of Closing.
17- Actual Closing.
18- “Post Closing” agreements in Place (Non Compete, consulting, etc...).

Completing a satisfactory transaction is seldom the result of happy coincidence. It is the result of a disciplined, professional strategy that typically provides multiple appropriate buyers, multiple appropriate offers and a “win-win” situation for Buyer, Seller, Employees, Customers and all others involved.
