When working for owners who wish to sell their companies, our process is built around a series of services and techniques to generate the highest valuation for our clients, where 'valuation' includes economics and soft factors. All of our techniques tie in with one of the three drivers in the value equation: the multiple of profit paid; the current profits we can demonstrate which determine the upfront payment; and ensuring future profits are rewarded in any earnout opportunity.
In the three charts above, we set out our key steps. By selecting any of the three elements which determine shareholder exit value, you can see how the steps in our methodology tie in with that element of value and help drive it up.
We are convinced no other firm has such a 'scientific' approach of making every step of its process work to enhance the client's economic equation. Nor would they have the recruitment industry knowledge to implement them in practice.
