YOUR SALE: IT’S PERSONAL

You’ve put blood, sweat, tears, money and countless hours into building your business. So you can’t help but feel deeply involved when it comes to selling it. We’ll help you take a calm view of the entire transaction.

You don’t sell your business every day, but we’ve spent years advising owners on their sale. So at every stage, we’ll be by your side with proven, practical advice to achieve your ultimate aim: a good home for your business and the best possible deal for you.

WHERE DO YOU START WHEN SELLING A BUSINESS IN IRELAND?

Although there are many elements to selling a business in Ireland, they can be broken down to a few key questions:

What is it worth?
Who will want to buy it?
Is now the best time to sell it?
Do I need a quick sale?
What does it mean for my tax?

We’ll use our experience and up to date insights to give you objective and comprehensive answers to all of these. For example, when valuing your business we’ll take into account not only your physical assets such as equipment, but the intangibles like future financial performance, customer base and IP.

MATCHING YOU WITH A BUYER

You may already have a prospective buyer, but it’s most likely that you will need to identify potential likely purchasers and market to them, along with providing the information and business plans they will need.

Again, we can help by working to find a suitable buyer. Whether that means selling the business in the UK or abroad we look after the process, vetting them, making the initial approach and, once they’re interested, producing documents and handling all contact and negotiations with them. We’ll keep you fully up to speed with developments and check you’re happy throughout, whilst making sure you can still concentrate on running the business.

By doing this, we can ascertain the arrangement that provides the best balance of profitable sale and the most effective long-term tax solution.
