Buying or selling

a business can be a daunting process for many small businesses and yet it is the logical next step for many business owners. The mergers and acquisitions (M & A) profession is geared towards larger businesses and, as such, is full of jargon and intimidating, smart suited, young  number crunchers, with little or no experience in running a business.

At the other end of the scale, there are many "get rich quick" operators who could just as easily be selling used cars.

We offer professional, unbiased and independent advice to owners of businesses who are considering buying a business or realising the value of their hard work. We are in for the long term, not just a quick buck from the up front fees.

We provide a range of merger and acquisition services aimed at the SME sector:

1.         Exit Planning

You may not be ready to exit the business just yet, but is the business fit for sale? What will happen to the team that helped you build it, and just how much will you be able to sell it for?

Just what will a buyer be looking for?  Who will want to buy your business, and how are you going to get the best possible price for it?

We can help you realise your ambitions and enjoy the fruits of your labour. We have access to teams of specialists in almost every discipline and will provide hands-on practical advice to help you achieve your goals

2.         Finding businesses for sale

Management Advice has a successful track record in helping small businesses grow through acquisition. With combined merger and acquisition experience of 50 years, we can provide assistance at every stage of the acquisition process – from the formulation of strategy, to the finding of a suitable business for you to buy, to the integration process. Working closely with the client, we will ensure that the client makes an acquisition that is appropriate to their needs for a good price.

3.         Selling a business

Management Advice provides assistance with the exit process for owners of small businesses. Starting with a business assessment, and the writing of a Memorandum of Information, we will then conduct a detailed search for Companies who might have an interest in acquiring our client.  The depth of experience gained from the many businesses successfully sold using our structured processes, give us the confidence that we will maximise the value a client achieves for his business.
