Here are a selection of case studies which are typical
of the transactions we handle.
The owner of this contract electronic manufacturing
business was prepared to sell for £1.4 million. Through
our extensive ESP network, we managed to secure a management
buy-in team and the eventual sale price was well in
excess of £2 million.
Key deal points
We identified the buyer through our own internal network.
The buyer wasn't known to our client and wouldn't have
been on any database.
Our client:-
 |
secured a premium price, an uplift
of more than 50% above his expectations. |
|
|
only had to stay on for a 3-month consultancy
period, with the final month working only a day
a week. |
|
|
has the cash and is free from the business. |
|
The business provided services to a niche area of the
building construction sector and after many years of
static performance had, during the two years prior to
sale, shown a dramatic improvement in trading performance.
Our client agreed that it would be best to optimise
the sale consideration whilst trading was continuing
to show growth.

The seller of this manufacturing business in the Midlands
was happy with his contract but we noticed an opportunity
to secure additional consideration. During the final
negotiations with the buyers, we achieved a favourable
change in the deal structure. This enabled us to fully
cover the entire transaction fee and that of the lawyers.
The eventual sale price was well in excess of £2 million.
Key deal points
The buyer was a trade buyer that paid in cash on completion.
Our client:-
|
secured last minute additional consideration
through our negotiation expertise. This enabled
the client, within a matter of minutes, to earn
enough additional funds to more than pay for all
of their costs. |
|
|
has had all the cash from the date of completion
and is free from the pressures of running a business.
