Acquiring new businesses
Do you have ambitious plans for future growth?
How do we do it?
However, the process of acquiring a new business can be very time-consuming and there are many pitfalls that await. S-Cubed Advisory are experienced in navigating the acquisition trail for our clients.
With our business acquisition service, we will approach “off market” and “on market” opportunities. Both groups come with their own hurdles to overcome. “Off market” business owners are not usually thinking about an exit until we approach them. So, it takes them some time to get used to the prospect of letting go of their treasured business. In contrast, owners of “on market” companies, have already made the decision to sell and usually have a business broker representing them.
Business Brokers
Not all business brokers are the same, many can be mediocre and actually get in the way of a deal completing. Some even over value their client’s business, but we know how to counter these bizarre valuations and help them get their feet back on the ground.
Acquisition
Our business acquisition service starts with taking a detailed client brief, confirming their business strategy, which sectors are of interest and the size of businesses they are seeking to meet with.
We can then approach the market, identify and approach potential targets and invite them to an exploratory meeting with our client.
We will wear out the “shoe leather” on behalf of our clients, enabling them to carry on running their business.
We will create a flow of potential opportunities for our client to consider and select ones that best fit their strategy.
We will advise our client on price and construct an indicative offer. Invariably deal terms need to be refined and once this is done, we guide the acquisition process through “due diligence” to an eventual completion.
