In case you would like to actively continue the selling process, we need to prepare at this stage all the necessary documents like investment memorandum, business valuation, brand valuation and benchmark analysis.
Potential investors request in each case an investment memorandum in order to get familiar with the investment details. The so called IM is the most important document during the whole selling process. This document has to convince the investors that the company is valuable, reliable, synergies can be utilized and the acquisition is worth the effort.
In order to reach the highest (fair) purchase price, we recommend for all sellers to prepare an official company valuation according to international standards. With the official business valuation negotiations start on a higher level and asking price can be easier secured. Sometimes brand valuation is also necessary, in case the brand has the main value. We also recommend as an extra service for sellers the benchmark analysis, which gives deep information about a specific market and the competitors. This analysis compares based on the official and available information the market players.
