Thinking of selling your business? In this webinar, our expert panel shares insights on exit timing, key value drivers, due diligence readiness, tax considerations, and current M&A trends to help you plan a successful and rewarding exit.
Introduction
What are you seeing in the M&A market?
Do you expect to see any tax-related changes that might impact M&A activity over the next 12 months?
Do you see CGT rates aligning with income tax rates?
What are your views on the outlook for the years ahead? What should people do who are considering selling?
What can business owners do to get ready for exit, and when is the right timing?
I’m seeing a massive increase in interest for EOTs. Are you too?
When should sellers start thinking about getting prepared for the DD process?
Coming back to the key value drivers that you mentioned earlier, can you give a bit more detail on a few of those? Perhaps let’s start with owner reliance.
How can owners assess/test whether they’ve achieved this?
Often buyers will expect the senior leadership team to have some equity in the business – how can owners go about achieving this?
What about talent management? What are buyers looking for?
How important is it to consider your customer base and how diverse it is?
On the key value drivers – perhaps touch on the importance of good MI.
Please explain the concept of vendor due diligence and vendor assist and its benefits.
Are there any other tax considerations we haven’t touched on to consider when selling your business?
Buyers’ attitude towards a group of businesses with a minority interest sitting around the group?
As the co-founder of a US business who is a UK citizen, are there any efficiencies I can plan for now that will improve my exit outcome?
What would your top tip be for any business looking to exit in the future?
