The private buyer option
If a seller’s business has been for sale for a number of months but not had any serious interest from a trade buyer or a private equity firm, there are a number of options:
- Leave it with the selling agent and see what happens…..but likely not much
- Take it off the market
- Find a private buyer to purchase it …..this is where Valius can help sellers.
Valius works exclusively with buyers to enable private company owners to sell their business. A private buyer can:
- purchase all or part of the current owner’s share capital
- help a “paternalistic” business owner
- secure the owner’s legacy in to the future
- enable an owner to depart on a phased basis
- overcome the common issue of warranties
- alleviate funding “roadblocks”
- help the seller to remain involved in some way eg Non Executive
