Max Your Exit focuses on business owners who are looking to sell their stake in their business and achieve the maximum value upon leaving.

This could be achieved with a management buyout, selling to other shareholders or a sale to a commercial entity. This latter could be a direct competitor or quite possible a buyer you have never heard of. 

One common denominator is  that most diligent owners look to achieve the best results at the most opportune time.

Our service empathises with you at a critically important moment in your working life and offers you the chance to audit your business in the privacy your boardroom or your own home. We can then openly question matters such as timing, opportunity, strengths, weaknesses, age, health considerations, future threats to the business, your staff, your customers, your personal needs and the vast potential of unknown buyers alongside those who you may think are obvious routes to market.

Above all else you will only ever have one opportunity to make the best decision of when to sell, who to sell to and how you achieve this.

We can offer you a firm helping hand, a sympathetic ear and a wealth of experience in making the right choice first!

Do you own a business?

Or do you own part of a business?

Have you considered the timing to maximise your investment when you leave the business?

Is your company ready to sell today? If not, what would we need to do in order to make the business ready for sale?

If your business went into the shop window today would it achieve the highest possible sales value? Could your company sales be higher? Does your marketing profile attract the  biggest possible market share or the most interest from a potential buyer? Is your digital profile strong? Could you be leaner and meaner and quickly improve your EBITDA?

Or do you simply need help in getting your business more profitable, or ready for sale?

And if you sold today would you personally achieve the maximum benefit from your exit?

We are experienced in these discussions and considerations and have a wealth of experience and contacts in preparing companies to go to market, guiding companies on the sale of shareholders assets and we can work with you to take you right through the sales process to access the unadvertised buyers on a confidential basis through to managing the enquiries you receive from interested parties.

We can provide as little or as much of this process that you are comfortable with. Above all else we start the process with an informal non-obligated chat with an NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) if necessary so that we can understand and appreciate what we are both about and what we can each bring to the party.
