Timeline

Typically, selling a business takes between 6 to 12 months

​

Cancellation

Once you engage Intersection​ as your M&A advisor, you can at any stage change your mind and cancel the mission

​

Objectives

Money is important, but it is not the only parameter to consider when selling a business.

Besides financial matters, we take into account personal situations (What will the partners and staff do post-sale?  Who will they report to? What are the implication on their careers?...) and the future of your business (What will your firm, its brand & culture become post-acquisition? What will be the benefits from being part of a large organisation?)
 

Timing

Our aim is to ensure that interested buying groups advance at the same pace, so we receive offers during the same month

​

Optimal offer

The only way to know if an offer is optimal… is to be able to compare it with other ones. Synchronicity is key (see previous point)

​

Deal structure

If you are confident that your business growth will accelerate once it is part of a large corporation, we can design a deal that includes deferred payments and/or a payment in cash & buyer's stock, so you benefit from future growth

​

Declined offers 

If you decide that none of the offers on the table suit you, you will still be able to go back to the same acquiring groups a few years later. In other words, buyers will understand if you have cold feet and will be happy to re-engage with you in the future.
