- How can I present my company with the maximum attractiveness to investors?
- Which investors are most able to pay and who are most interested in my company?
- How can I reduce the risks of initiating business sale processes such as leakages or over-commitment?
- What other terms should I use? negotiate in addition to the priceWill I have to take on responsibilities, how can I reduce them?
What is our process?
All transactions are different and unique in Barcelona. To offer you the best experience, we involve a team of people with different and complementary skills (analysis of competitive environments, search for potential buyers, financial analysis, communication, etc.), all led by an experienced Dealmaker.
Our team follows a solid process supported by 10 steps:
What method is used to sell a company in Barcelona?
1. Strategy
The success of any process is good prior preparation which will result in a better valuation and reduce the duration of the process. To do this, it is necessary to be clear: Why do I want to sell my Barcelona company? What is the target price? Who should be involved in the process?
2. Documentation
Be prepared for any questions from the potential buyer. Some common questions: What are my differentiators? Who is the key team? Who are the main competitors in Barcelona? Why do my customers buy from me? How do I maintain and grow my competitive advantage?
3. Financial Information and Valuation
Consistent financial information reflects professionalism and creates confidence for the buyer. What is the expected growth of my company? Do I have the financial information prepared? How do I explain the assumptions of the business plan to the buyer? Am I prepared to provide the information required by the investor in the DD (VDR)?
It is therefore important to assess and analyse projections as the price is often partly linked to them.
Marketing
4. Identify potential investors
It consists of identifying the type of investor who may be interested in your company. What type of investors are there? Which one is the most suitable for my company? Which one can pay the best price? What is their decision-making process like?
5. Contact
The objective in this phase is to contact the decision-maker and generate interest with a personalised and attractive message. Who do I contact? What type of communication should I use? How is confidentiality protected?
6. Know and qualify the prospective buyer
The efficiency of the process depends mainly on negotiating with those investors who are really interested in the acquisition. Are you really interested in my company? Do you have the fit I am looking for? What investment capacity do you have? What kind of deal structure do you usually use?
7. Negotiation
The secret is in the details: which of the candidates to negotiate with, who should make the first offer, who controls and drafts the LOI? This is the most important and complex phase, the process is at stake in every detail.
Due Diligence and Closure
8. Due Diligence
At this point, many transactions fall through. What issues should the DD cover? Should I provide all the information requested? How does a Dataroom work? What are the implications for the final agreement? Good preparation from the beginning of the process avoids last minute surprises.
9. Closure and Contracts
The structure of the transaction is even more important than the price itself. In this phase, the critical aspects of the transaction are defined in detail: How and when is the agreed price paid? What guarantees does the seller provide to the buyer? Is part of the price retained?
10. Integration
In the sale of companies, this is the final stage of the process and includes, among other things, the drafting of a plan for the first 100 days, the calculation of the synergies achieved and the assignment of a team to be in charge of the integration.
