Selling the company you built is a once-in-a-lifetime transaction. We prepare it, run it and secure it with you — from valuation to closing, in complete confidentiality.
Let's discuss your project →A successful sale is one you decide at the right moment — not one you are forced into. Each of these situations deserves a structured approach.
A succession is prepared years ahead: smoothing results, reducing reliance on the owner, strengthening the team. The earlier the thinking starts, the more options stay open — trade sale, family succession or a management buyout.
An unsolicited offer is flattering, but negotiating alone against a professional acquirer is costly. A counter-analysis of the valuation and discreet competition change the balance of power.
Selling all or part of the capital to an industrial group or a fund can finance growth while securing your personal wealth. A sale is not always total: OBOs and majority sales with reinvestment can be structured.
A new project, health, disagreeing shareholders: whatever the reason, a decided and prepared sale protects the value of the company — and your teams.
Your company is never exposed: it is presented anonymously, and its identity is only revealed to serious counterparties, with your approval at every step.
We analyse the company the way an acquirer will: normalised profitability, recurrence, dependencies, potential. You get a substantiated valuation range and a plan to defend it — or improve it before selling.
Information memorandum, business plan and data room: the documentation that makes the company credible, anticipates buyers' questions and saves months in due diligence.
Selection of relevant counterparties — industrial groups, funds, individual buyers — approached under confidentiality agreements. Organised competition reveals the company's true value.
Analysis of offers, negotiation of letters of intent, steering of due diligence alongside your usual advisers (lawyer, accountant). We keep control of the timetable and the competitive tension.
Securing the legal documentation through to signing, and structuring the handover period: closing is not the end of the story — it should be organised as the beginning of the next one.
An owner sells a company once in a lifetime. Acquirers buy several a year. Our role is to rebalance that asymmetry.
A substantiated valuation, anticipated negotiation points and several competing counterparties: every element of the price — and of the terms, just as important — is defended with method.
Clients, employees, competitors and suppliers have no need to know about your project. The process is designed so information circulates only at the chosen moment, to the chosen people.
A sale takes months and the business must keep performing — that is what the buyer is buying. We carry the process so you stay focused on operations.
Most often between 6 and 12 months from mandate to closing, depending on how well the company is prepared, the sector and the number of buyers approached. A well-prepared company sells faster — and better.
Mainly through profitability multiples (EBITDA, operating profit) compared with sector transactions, refined by the analysis of assets, revenue recurrence and reliance on the owner. The final valuation is the one a buyer agrees to pay: competition is what reveals it.
Ideally 2 to 3 years before selling: the useful time to smooth results, reduce reliance on the owner, secure key contracts and optimise the structure. Starting early widens your options — including not selling right away.
The company is first presented anonymously; its identity is only revealed to serious counterparties, after a confidentiality agreement is signed and with the owner's approval, at every step.
They depend on the size and complexity of the transaction, with the main part linked to the success of the sale. We present them transparently at the first conversation, before any commitment.
