Negotiation and Consultation
Are you acquiring or selling a business? Are you looking for an independent expert to support you in a negotiation and accompany you in important decisions? Do you want to undertake steps to increase the value of your business before completing a transaction? I can help!
Buying or selling a business is a significant transaction that a business owner is likely to conduct only once in his or her life. The steps prior to the transaction are as important as those undertaken during the purchase or sale.
Prior to the transaction
To carry out effective negotiations, you must first know the fair market value of a business. It is equally important to establish the actions required to either increase the value of a business, increase its profitability or reduce the risk associated to its transfer.
During the sale or purchase
I accompany you throughout the decision-making process by tailoring support to your needs, answering your questions, guiding you through the complex purchase and sales process, referring you to experts and specialists when needed, and helping you understand basic negotiating strategies for the purchase and sale of a business.
My strategy: win-win negotiations
The most successful advisors are those that negotiate from a win-win perspective. They know how to defend their ideas while, at the same time, taking both parties’ needs into consideration.
For me, a successful transaction is one that benefits each party involved.
Over the past 20 years, I have developed an expertise in consultation and negotiation having appraised over 1,000 SMEs and been involved in a wide variety of situations associated with the acquisition or sale of businesses.
