M&A

Sale

The reason for selling a business is rarely one-dimensional. Sometimes there is a personal reason, such as age, health, or motivation, where the process takes time to prepare both the company and the entrepreneur for sale. Other times, the business has outgrown the entrepreneur and requires professionalization, there is a lack of a suitable successor, the entrepreneur wants to cash in a portion of their wealth without letting go completely, or market developments such as consolidation provide the catalyst.

The company is often the entrepreneur's identity, built up over many years or even generations, and the question of what life looks like after the sale is at least as impactful as the transaction itself. Children who are interested but not necessarily suitable, the position of the staff, sharing sensitive information with competitors, and robust legal contracts make this one of the most important crossroads in an entrepreneur's life, involving far more than just a financial question.

What you can expect

The sales process

Good guidance starts early: clear expectations about steps and lead times provide peace of mind, and a thorough understanding of the business, partly through analysis of audit files, prevents surprises. The information memorandum takes on the character of a vendor due diligence, so that points of attention are known in advance instead of coming to light during the process.

We create market dynamics by involving multiple parties and negotiate sharply, not only on price but also on guarantees, indemnities, and the structure of the deal, up to and including any reinvestment in the buying party. From the first presentation to bidding, negotiation, and closing, we remain the director of the process, also towards the other advisors.

Why Maasdael?

Maasdael combines twenty years of M&A experience with a dedicated team that views the transaction as an absolute priority, affiliated with international networks. Our relationships with buying parties, both strategic and financial, provide insight into their methods and deal criteria.

Our approach is personal and no-nonsense: we put ourselves in the position of the entrepreneur, without losing our edge in the negotiations. In a sale, where a life's work and emotions come together, business sense and humanity go hand in hand for us.
