Sell a business

Prepare well. Sell with confidence.

Selling a business is usually a once-in-a-lifetime event. We help you understand what it is worth, prepare it for a buyer’s scrutiny and run a confidential, well-managed sale.

Confidential by default

Your plans stay private

  • Your enquiry is handled by Proplexo and treated as confidential.
  • We never approach buyers about your business without your agreement.
  • We only disclose identifying information about your business to prospective buyers where you have agreed that we may do so.

The sale journey

From valuation to completion

Starting 12–36 months before a planned sale can give you time to strengthen the areas buyers are likely to scrutinise.

  1. Value

    Understand what the business is worth today, and why.

  2. Prepare

    Strengthen the areas buyers scrutinise: earnings quality, records and owner dependency.

  3. Position

    Present the business clearly, with an Information Memorandum and credible numbers.

  4. Find buyers

    Identify and approach prospective buyers confidentially, with your agreement.

  5. Negotiate

    Compare offers on value, structure and certainty – not just price.

  6. Due diligence

    Coordinate the buyer’s questions and keep the process on track.

  7. Complete

    Work with your legal advisers through to completion.
